The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences announced Wednesday that it is entering the planning stages of a potential consolidation of the five departments related to the University’s Plant Sciences ...

A new study has shed light on the intricate genetic mechanisms controlling the flowering process in plants, crucial for their reproduction and ecological balance. The research delves into the ...

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 ...

This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today, and has been written by our American colleagues. It does not necessarily reflect the view of The ...

Leveraging their knowledge of plant and synthetic biology, scientists have developed a biosensor that detects RNA signals in real time within living plants, enhancing the ability to monitor gene ...

Plants generate signals across many scales, from molecular activity to whole-plant physiology, that can now be measured, analyzed, and modeled with computational tools. This interdisciplinary course ...

When two homozygous plant lines with different characteristics are crossed, the resulting offspring are often more robust and productive than their parents. This phenomenon is called heterosis. It can ...

One of the great mysteries in plant biology is how, given the clouds of pollen released by dozens of plants species all at the same time, an individual plant can recognize which particular species’ ...
