The work, which exploits a natural process where plant cells die on purpose to help the host plant stay healthy, is expected ...

"We have discovered this incredible capability for plant roots to effectively 'brace for impact,' by stiffening their cell walls when grown in soil that has been compacted," said Dr. Salvatore La ...

Xiao Jun from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered a new way in which temperature can influence the fate of plant cells by ...

The next step, says Chadwick, will be to build and test a bigger cell. He and his team will use computer modeling to determine how to adapt their designs for a large system." We took these designs ...

"Decoding plant development and environmental adaptation at the single-cell level reshapes how we study and apply plant science." It enables scientists to better understand how various parts of ...

Plants in arid regions tend to develop water-retaining structures, while those in colder climates often produce antifreeze proteins to prevent cell damage ... piece together the bigger picture of ...

Individual plant cells express receptors that recognise pathogen ... immunity is that while animals exposed to infection can adapt and acquire immunity, plants cannot. Instead, their ability ...

Unlocking the genetic mysteries behind plant adaptation: New insights into the evolution of a water-saving trait in the pineapple family (bromeliaceae) Adaptation of the photosynthetic mechanism ...

Such epigenetic adaptations play an instrumental role in allowing plants to synchronize their growth with evolving environmental cues. However, a comprehensive understanding of how these DNA ...
