Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The ...

By combining high-resolution genomic data with AI, researchers are uncovering the regulatory logic plants use to sense and survive environmental stress.

Cinzia Bertea's scientific interests are mainly focused on basic and applied research related to physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology of plant responses to abiotic (drought, heat, salinity) ...

A systems perspective frames the next frontier in plant sciences. Moreover, network science aids in translating the complexity of a system into a biological message and enables us to discover novel ...

A (L398I), B (L509I), and C (T338S), controlling chemo-/regio-selectivity of CYP72A63 for rare licorice triterpenoids production [83]; D, rational design of CYP87D20 with evolutionary information for ...

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 ...

How do plants achieve their remarkably regular arrangement of leaves and flowers? And why does this pattern remain so stable, even as plants grow and respond to their environment? Researchers at ...

The idea of music boosting plant growth has been around for many years, but a new study has found that monotonous noise stimulates a type of fungus that improves the growth of plants. In a paper in ...

This area entails study and maintenance of biological diversity at the level of genes, populations, communities, ecosystems and biomes; intellectual underpinnings include evolutionary theory, ...

Plants are constantly exposed to a wide array of biotic and abiotic stresses in their natural environments, posing ...

Scientists found a way to help plants grow while staying disease resistant, a discovery that could improve food production.
