Thick multicellular plant samples provide unique challenges when it comes to cryo-preservation, which has resulted in limited successful examples for structural studies using in situ cryo-electron ...

Auxin is the first plant hormone—or "phytohormone"—ever identified, with its discovery dating to the late 19th and early 20th ...

When two organisms live together so closely that they merge into a functional unit, this is known as symbiosis. In the "1+1=1" project, an international, interdisciplinary research team is ...

A chromosome glitch in beetleweed reveals how genome doubling can drive rapid plant evolution and create new species in real ...

Tissues consist of a heterogenous mixture of different cell types, complicating our understanding of their biological ...

Quantum biology links electron spin to proton transport, revealing new and precise control mechanisms in cells.

A research team has developed a sustainable method to extract antibacterial triterpenoids from the discarded husks of Carya ...

These responses are now understood to extend belowground, where root exudates condition rhizosphere soil bacteria communities in ways that enhance future plant growth and defence. Sequence ...

This miniature CRISPR system enabled transgene-free germline genome editing in Arabidopsis thaliana without the need for tissue culture or plant transformation. Alamos et al. show that ...
