Plants grow best when genetics inside cells cooperate, while mismatched genetics reduce photosynthesis and climate resilience ...

A plant's success may depend on how well the three sets of genetic instructions it carries in its cells cooperate, according ...

Unraveling the genetic mysteries of alpine plants, a pioneering study presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of the medicinal herb Triplostegia glandulifera. The research uncovers the plant's ...

Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in understanding how genetic drivers influence the evolution of a specific photosynthesis mechanism in Tillandsia (air plants). This sheds light on the complex ...

Plant trichomes, the hair-like structures covering aerial organs, serve as protective barriers against environmental stresses ...

Researchers are one step closer to understanding how some plants survive without nitrogen. Their work could eventually reduce the need for artificial fertilizer in crops such as wheat, maize, or rice.

Humans have it. So does Drosophila. But not yeast. That "it" is a small pause at the start of gene activity—a brief molecular halt that may have helped life evolve from simple cells to complex animals ...
