TMAO appears to both stabilize other plant proteins and influence the expression of stress-response genes, researchers report.

The University of California, Davis, professor is a pioneer in teasing apart the changes in gene expression that drive root development.

The plant geneticist has revolutionized researchers’ understanding of how light affects plant growth and development, and is engineering plants to combat climate change.

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln entomologist wants to help pave the way for creating environmentally friendly tools to replace insecticides to control agricultural pests.

The small molecule is effective in tomato and wheat in laboratory trials, but its scalability and applicability to real-world agriculture remains to be seen.

Researchers devise a way to make plants’ stomata open and close more quickly.

Scientists create an atlas of Arabidopsis cell and tissue reconstructions in three dimensions.

When lacking certain enzymes that help plants coordinate cell division, Arabidopsis thaliana cells grow and collect multiple nuclei.

The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory researcher is fueled by curiosity about how one species’ genome can produce a wide variety of traits.

A compound produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa activates signaling pathways that prevent seeds from growing in unfavorable environments.

Images from the country’s Chang’e-4 lunar lander show the first sprouting plants.

During plants’ cell division, mother cells give daughter cells a signal to show them which way is up.

The European Union says no thanks.

An entrepreneurial attitude helped this Vienna-based researcher begin to unravel the complex receptor network that Arabidopsis uses to develop and defend itself.

To maintain an energy-saving growth strategy in the absence of light, seedlings need signals generated by pectin in their cell walls.

It has become increasingly evident that, like animals, plants are not autonomous organisms but rather are populated by a cornucopia of diverse microorganisms.

Unlike animals, plants stably pass on their DNA methylomes from one generation to the next. The resulting gene silencing likely hides an abundance of phenotypic variation.

Plants have so much to teach us.
