Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in understanding how genetic drivers influence the evolution of a specific photosynthesis mechanism in Tillandsia (air plants). This sheds light on the complex ...

Rice feeds more than half of the world’s population, but the tiny microbes living on and around rice plants may be just as ...

Researchers have published a simple trick that improves the accuracy of techniques that help us understand how external variables -- such as temperature -- affect gene activity in plants. Researchers ...

As the human population continues to explode, the need for efficient crop growth also expands. While there have been great strides in plant genetics and modification, there is still much to be learned ...

Humans like plants. We like seeing them change the color of their leaves throughout the year. They connect us to nature even ...

Carnivorous plants are amazing, and researchers have spent a long time learning about their impressive abilities. Now scientists have found evidence that these mechanisms originated as defense ...

A recent study led by Bucknell University Professor Chris Martine, biology, the David Burpee Professor of Plant Genetics and ...

Money can, after all, grow on trees – family trees. And judging by the $8.4 trillion baby boomers are expected to inherit from older generations in coming years, we’re not talking chump change. In ...
