When looking at forests, we hardly get to see beyond a bunch of green. However, for a plant ecologist, forests represent a much more complex world consisting of different species. This diversity of ...

Scientists have discovered a novel biochemical mechanism explaining how immune proteins defend plants against invading microorganisms. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding ...

Plants come in a multitude of forms, as can be seen in the exotic flora at Lyman Conservatory and in the Massachusetts landscapes that surround it. These forms are both aesthetically arresting and ...

MADISON, Wis. -- Borrowing from nature is an age-old theme in science. Form and function go hand-in-hand in the natural world and the structures created by plants and animals are only rarely improved ...

We have generated transgenic potato plants (Solanum tuberosum) containing the potato phytochrome protein encoded by the PHYA gene cDNA (phyA) in sense or antisense orientation under the control of the ...

Grassland degradation fundamentally reshapes how biodiversity supports ecosystem multifunctionality, shifting it from being ...

Scientists are using the decellularized husks of plants such as parsley, vanilla and orchids to form three-dimensional scaffolds that can then be primed and seeded with human stem cells to optimize ...

How does plant form communicate trauma, landscape, memory, and place? Join the Vegetal Forms short-term Kahn project to discuss the work of Smith College Museum of Art’s visiting artist Abdessamad El ...
