Light supplies the energy plants need to build up biomass. A research team is researching how plants adapt their photosynthesis to changing light. They describe a key molecular mechanism that ...

Researchers at National Taiwan University discovered how light stabilizes a key stress-response protein, offering insights into improving crop resilience to harsh environments. Under light conditions, ...

A mutant seedling revealed how plant tissues scatter incoming light, allowing plants to sense its direction and move toward it. On a shelf lined with terra cotta pots, herbs bend their stems toward ...

Plants in the shade of other plants receive more light than scientists had previously believed. A team of researchers from Utrecht University and Wageningen University & Research (WUR) describe how, ...

Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to perceive and respond to light, thereby orchestrating a complex network of gene regulation that influences growth, development and stress adaptation.

The machine, with sharp teeth and a long metal rod, sounds like a kitchen blender, but this is far from your average appliance. “This is a tissue homogenizer,” said Jesse Woodson, an associate ...

Where they live: Plants are found on every continent, even Antarctica, and every ocean. What they eat: Plants use sunlight for photosynthesis, which produces sugars that fuel them. Plants are an ...
