Trees are important to the environmental health of cities through their capacity to improve air quality, provide cooling via ...

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 ...

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 ...

This depresses yields but it is very much in the plant's interest. Three enzymes play a key role in this adaptation process, which are referred to as V, P and Z for short. In a paper published in ...

“PLANT physiology,” the author states in his preface, “finds its practical application in plant production. … It is somewhat strange, therefore, to find that as a separate course plant ...

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

If you look at what they’re doing, it’s plant physiology rebranded as a new thing that it is not. So to me, this group is dangerous because in a way it's almost compromising the field as it's ...

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 ...

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 ...
