A joint research team has discovered a new molecular switch that determines when plant leaves begin to age. The research team has identified for the first time a new mechanism in which RNA made from ...

A research team has created a new kind of electrochemical "two-in-one" system that turns plant-based molecules into two ...

In a groundbreaking study, Chinese researchers have revealed how a single plant cell can develop into a whole plant, unlocking potential applications for agriculture and crop conservation. The team ...

South Korea is set to make a significant transition toward clean energy by unveiling the world’s largest fuel cell plant in Gyeongju. The hydrogen-powered plant will generate enough clean electricity ...

Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have cracked open the secrets of plant stem cells, mapping key genetic regulators in maize and Arabidopsis. By using single-cell RNA sequencing, they ...

A carotenoid that's already widely available in fruit and vegetables, and as a supplement, has been found to bolster the cancer-fighting abilities of immune cells, making it a promising new candidate ...

A virus that typically infects black-eyed peas is showing great promise as a low-cost, potent cancer immunotherapy—and researchers are uncovering why. In a study published in Cell Biomaterials, a team ...

Michael Levin is a developmental and synthetic neurobiologist at Tufts University and, according to many, on track for a Nobel Prize for his work unpacking new ways organisms develop and function, ...

Plant cells are surrounded by an intricately structured protective coat called the cell wall. It’s built of cellulose microfibrils intertwined with polysaccharides like hemicellulose or pectin. We ...

For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...
