Scientists have uncovered a critical role for rapid DNA repair in maintaining genome stability. A new study reveals that ...

A gene that regulates the development of roots in vascular plants is also involved in the organ development of ...

However, exactly how these spines evolved in various plant species that are not closely related wasn’t fully understood—until now. A team of researchers recently found that the gene coding for ...

As molecular plant pathology research ... we are studying several gene products, regulatory regions of genes to control expression (promoters), and the possibility of combining two or more genes ...

Farmers may use similar gene-silencing sprays to boost yields, make their crops more nutritious, protect them from droughts and trigger ripening. The technique could let us change plant traits ...

The study, published in Science, highlights how a gene transfer between fungi and early plants helped these organisms adapt to terrestrial environments, sparking the development of Earth’s first ...
