Researchers have discovered a new role for a well-known plant molecule, providing the first clear example of ACC acting as a likely plant hormone. Researchers show that ACC has a critical role in ...

Advanced bioengineering of plant hormone receptors may lead to controlling complex genetic circuits in living cells, according to new research by Associate Professor Timothy Whitehead and his partners ...

When faced with harsh growing conditions, the energy plants typically expend on growth gets delegated towards a stress response induced by disease, salty soils and extreme weather. And according to a ...

Around 4,000 to 5,000 plants are parasites. Most parasitic plants use an organ, named haustorium, to attach to and penetrate host plants to obtain water and nutrients. Some parasitic plants, such as ...

A recent study revealed the complex interplay between diosgenin (DG) and brassinosteroids (BRs) in Dioscorea zingiberensis. By integrating genome-wide methylation, transcriptome, and metabolite data, ...

Researchers at Wageningen University & Research (WUR), working in close collaboration with KeyGene, have developed a method that enables plant cells to regenerate into complete plants without the need ...
