Perennials are plants that grow back each year. Dividing or splitting a single perennial into multiple plants helps the plant perform better. When perennials are divided, there is more space for roots ...
Optogenetics is an emerging bioengineering technology that has been rapidly developed in recent years by cross-integrating optics, genetic engineering, electrophysiology, software control, and other ...
Unlike animals, plants don’t need a male and a female because their flowers have both male parts and female parts. Pollen in plants is like sperm in animals. It comes from the male part of the ...
The decision reinstates unscientific regulation of new plant varieties, contradicting not only decades of experimentation, ...
