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 ...

Light doesn’t just help plants grow—it may also quietly hold them back. Researchers have uncovered a surprising mechanism where light strengthens the “glue” between a plant’s outer skin and its inner ...

The Trichoderma Associated Space Tomato Inoculation Experiment is a study where researchers are investigating tomato plant growth patterns in a microgravity environment, project co-investigator and ...

Ethylene is involved in the regulation of multiple plant growth and developmental processes. Here, the authors use a combination of genetic, molecular, and biochemical approaches to demonstrate that ...

A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant genome evolution—a discovery that could pave the way for more precise ...
