A study led by scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne has shown that the ability to ...

Many common house plants easily root from cuttings to create new plants. The long, slender roots at the base of this spider plant cutting developed over about two months. Many common house plants ...

University of Queensland researchers have for the first time introduced genetic material into plants via their roots, opening ...

Researchers have, for the first time, introduced genetic material into plants via their roots, opening a potential pathway ...

Scientists at the Salk Institute are buoyed after a first-of-its-kind study provided further clues on how plants in later ...

Transcriptional networks are tightly controlled in plant development and stress responses ... Poly(A) tag (PAT) libraries from single cell types, i.e., root hair cells, non-hair epidermal cells, and ...

It may sound strange but plants can remember stress. Scientists are still learning about how plants do this without a brain.

Scientists used nanoparticles to introduce genetic material into plants, enabling faster and temporary crop modifications.

Soil blockers can make seedlings much stronger. I spoke to the experts about how a soil blocker works, and why it's ...

Introduction: Root hairs increase the surface area of a plant’s root system that is in contact with the soil, thus facilitating plant water and nutrient uptake. However, little is known about the ...

Programmed cell death during plant development (dPCD) is crucial for Arabidopsis thaliana root defense, limiting microbial invasion and maintaining a balanced relationship with beneficial microbes.
