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

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

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

New research shows that UV-A light strengthens plants' natural defenses without disrupting beneficial fungi living inside them. This discovery could lead to crops that are more resilient and ...

Studies that compare physiology, anatomy ... we examine the importance of phylogenetic information for studies of evolution of plant form and function, relying on examples from our own comparative ...

This approach is used for insulin production for example. However, to do this ... Youjun Zhang and colleagues from the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology were now able to identify all ...

Researchers have uncovered the earliest example of a flower bud in a 164 million-year-old plant fossil in China. The discovery firmly pushes back the emergence of flowering plants into the ...

For example, single plant measurements taken from individual plants grown ... To further this endeavor, this top-down review of yield physiology provides a high-level overview of yield physiology, ...

Postharvest is directly related to the quality maintenance of cut flower, foliage, or in the post-production of potted plants; postharvest terminology embarks all these cases. Several factors can ...

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 ...
