University of Alberta research is showing how trees and fungi team up to survive and stay healthy against insect attacks—an ...

When pollinators visit flowers, they produce various sounds, from wing flapping during hovering, to landing and takeoff. Scientists studied these vibroacoustic signals to develop noninvasive and ...

"This was the moment when all the time we had spent on screening finally paid off." Scientists elated after making ...

Flowers grow stems, leaves and petals in a perfect pattern again and again. A new Cornell study shows that even in this ...

New research has shed light on how plants precisely control their growth and development, revealing that seemingly similar molecular components fulfill surprisingly different jobs.

The study adds to evidence challenging the dominance of ‘natural selection’ as the sole adaptive force in evolution.

New research from the Sainsbury Laboratory at the University of Cambridge has shed light on how plants precisely control ...

Now, some scientists are wondering whether it’s possible to produce food more efficiently by skipping photosynthesis altogether, and growing plants in the dark. The idea sounds as science ...

If a plant were to ever go extinct, scientists could possibly use these plant pressings to clone it in a lab or, at the very least, keep a record of it. That’s Alison’s hope. “I may not be here down ...

For a long time, scientists haven’t been quite sure. One persistent theory was that plants produce these compounds passively, through oxidation of more common precursor chemicals, or that these ...

Where has monkeyflower been found in Michigan? The Michigan monkeyflower is only found in northern Michigan, around the Straits of Mackinac and Grand Traverse areas along the Great Lakes ...

“Each species is its own little series of mysteries,” says botanist Wesley Knapp, the CEO of the California-based Center for Plant Conservation. “This is really frontline science, in many ...
