A new concept of kinetic modules in biochemical networks could revolutionize the understanding of how these networks function ...

Most land plants form mutually beneficial symbioses with fungi. The plant and the fungus exchange vital nutrients. A team led ...

Resistance to disease should mean a longer life, but researchers have found that a mutant protein that helps a plant fight ...

In a review in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, Stephen Long, a professor of crop sciences and of plant ...

A new concept of kinetic modules in biochemical networks could revolutionize the understanding of how these networks function. Scientists succeeded in linking the structure and dynamics of biochemical ...

About 20 years ago, Japanese researchers set out to characterize a collection of mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress), a popular model system used by plant geneticists. In one of these ...

Researchers uncover how rapid DNA repair protects genomes from internal threats, with implications for cancer biology.

We have excellent teaching, research, and outreach programs in the areas of plant biology (cellular, genetics, genomics, microbial, molecular and physiology), agronomy (including pathology, soil ...

The Plant Physiology Laboratory and plant growth facilities span 2,200 square feet and are located on the 11th floor of the CNRC. Under the direction of a USDA plant physiologist, this laboratory is ...

plant anatomy and/or plant physiology with thesis research in one of those areas. Soil Science involves course work and thesis research in soil chemistry, soil fertility and management, soil physics, ...

We will focus on photosynthesis, water relations and mineral nutrition. Both classical and molecular physiological techniques will be used to characterize plant responses to stress. 1. Chloroplast ...
