Researchers have developed machine-learning algorithms that teach a computer system to analyze three-dimensional shapes of the branches and leaves of a plant. The study may help scientists better ...

Plants with more complex water transport structures are more resistant to drought conditions, making them more likely to survive and pass this characteristic on to their offspring. That’s the ...

A research team has developed a new way to measure and predict how plant leaves scatter and reflect light, revealing that leaf optical behavior can be accurately inferred from measurable phenotypic ...
