Researchers have successfully uncovered the molecular mechanisms by which bacterial cellulose patches stimulate the regeneration of plant wounds. The regeneration process requires the activation of ...
Bamboo tissue has become a staple of eco aisles, marketed as a quick swap that lets shoppers keep their habits while cutting ...
A fossil plant smaller than a fingernail, collected more than a century ago from a Scottish rock bed, is reshaping the story ...
Callose deposition is decreased from A to C but increased from D to E. (A–C) Wild-type ovules at 1 day after pollination (DAP) (A), 2 DAP (B), and 3 DAP (C). (D–F) Genetically modified ovules at 1 DAP ...

Conventional plant regeneration approaches by cell culture require the external application of plant growth regulators, including hormones. However, optimizing culture conditions can be laborious. Now ...
Hyperhydricity is a prevalent physiological disorder encountered during in vitro plant propagation. It is characterised by excessive water accumulation, resulting in translucent tissues, altered ...
Researchers have identified key structures in photosensitive plant tissue that allow them to determine the direction of light, leading to positive phototropism. A recent research collaboration between ...
A mutant seedling revealed how plant tissues scatter incoming light, allowing plants to sense its direction and move toward it. On a shelf lined with terra cotta pots, herbs bend their stems toward ...
Climate change tests the resilience of farmers and their crops. To better understand how plants respond to their dynamic environments, scientists magnify the complex biological conversations between ...
On a shelf lined with terra-cotta pots, herbs bend their stems toward the nearest window. In a field of golden wildflowers, leaves rotate with the path of the sun. In a dappled forest, vines twine up ...
