Two-component systems have emerged as important sensing/response mechanisms in higher plants. They are composed of hybrid histidine kinases, histidine-containing phosphotransfer domain proteins and ...

Scientists are conducting extensive research on developing metal-based and carbon-based nanomaterials to improve plant growth and development. Nanomaterials can be used as promising tools to deliver ...

New understanding of circadian rhythms could be key to stronger, drought-resistant crops in the face of climate change. The biological clock of a popular food crop controls close to three-quarters of ...

Taking genetic engineering to the next level, researchers are creating modular, programmable genetic circuits that control specific plant functions. In electronics, even the most advanced computer is ...

When a nutrient registers a mere 0.5 ppm to 2.0 ppm on most soil tests, farmers might not give it much notice. But plants do because power-punching boron helps make possible a laundry list of critical ...

Two parasitic plants in a new study are losing genes related to photosynthesis and other plant functions as they continue their food-sucking habits. By Laura Baisas ...

The extent of the Master's Programme in Integrative Plant Sciences is 120 credits (ECTS), to be completed in two years of full-time studies. You can study the diversity of wild and cultivated plants ...
