Plant structural biology sits at the leading edge of research on how plants adapt to abiotic and biotic stresses, ...

Plant leaf senescence is a highly regulated, genetically encoded process that marks the final stage of leaf development. This complex phenomenon involves a coordinated dismantling of the ...

In October, Poethig and fellow researcher Aaron Leichty — a former graduate student in Poethig’s lab — published research on ...

A professor of plant molecular biology wants people to know that plants have stem cells too. Just like in the medical world, plant stem cells could support human growth and development when used to ...

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’ ...

Plants have developed an extraordinary ability to synthesize a diverse array of secondary metabolites. These compounds are ...

Palmer, 35, has been studying the structure and evolution of the chloroplast genome since he was a doctoral candidate at Stanford. A chloroplast is the organelle in plant cells in which photosynthesis ...

Scientists have discovered that a crucial protein found in plants, called auxin response factor (ARF) first arose about 600 million years ago, which was long before there were any plants around. This ...

This month Genome Research publishes a special issue highlighting novel advances in computational biology. In collaboration ...

Professor Savithramma Dinesh-Kumar, UC Davis Department of Plant Biology, has discovered a compound that could fight fungal diseases in plants including grapes and rice. (Sasha Bakhter/UC Davis ...

Using a compact green plant, Purdue University researchers are unraveling mysteries about how genes affect plant growth and learning possible ways to control growth that eventually could lead to ...
