At first glance, plant and animal cells have a lot in common: they’re both highly organized, keep their DNA tucked away in an envelope, and are kinda juicy inside. But plant cells have evolved some ...

Which plant hormones are critical in responding to drought conditions? How do plant hormone responses adjust to environmental changes? An article published in the journal Trends in Plant Science ...

Plant hormones—also known as phytohormones—form an integrated signalling network that orchestrates virtually every aspect of plant growth, development and yield formation. Auxins drive cell elongation ...

Researchers at Wageningen University & Research (WUR), working in close collaboration with KeyGene, have developed a method that enables plant cells to regenerate into complete plants without the need ...

Researchers from the University of California (UC), San Diego, UC Riverside, and Utsunomiya University in Japan have demonstrated the feasibility of using microbial cell factories to amplify the ...

Anxiety disorders are a leading cause of disability worldwide and major contributors to the global disease burden. In this study, we investigated the anxiolytic-like effects of plant-derived molecules ...

Plants have an immune system, like people, and when it is triggered by threats like disease or pests, a plant's defenses are activated. But there’s a downside to this protective mechanism: The plant’s ...

Microbial factories provide a sustainable alternative to tree sap for producing elusive plant molecules, offering new insights into plant development. Plant SLs serve two roles: canonical ones act as ...
