Researchers who manipulate lignin, a molecular fiber that allows plants to grow tall and transport water, unexpectedly discovered its synthesis has more far-reaching effects on plant development than ...

Plants use ubiquitin ligases to translate the presence of a phytohormone into a transcriptional response. Using cryo-EM, Vancea et al. reveal the mechanism underlying the perception of strigolactones ...

Scientists have discovered that a molecule known for defending animal immune systems called itaconate also plays a powerful role in plants. Researchers showed that itaconate not only exists in plant ...

The scientific perspective behind cell pattern formation involves observing both the commonly seen principles behind similar cell patterns seen in nature and the visible events of self-organization.

Scientists identified a gene responsible for triggering plants to develop fruits and seeds. This finding may help agriculturists bypass pollination altogether for food production, which will be ...

Twenty five years ago, the IAEA initiated a research programme on the development of in vitro mutagenesis in banana at the Plant Breeding Laboratory and since then has developed considerable and ...
