In his botanical laboratory at the University of Chicago, Professor George Konrad Karl Link recently made a discovery which he considered so noteworthy that he sent a report of it all the way to ...

Discovering how plant roots sense and adapt to water stress is vital importance for helping 'future proof' crops to enhance their climate resilience. Using X-ray micro-CT imaging researchers were able ...

Scientists have discovered how plants adapt their root systems in drought conditions to grow steeper into the soil to access deeper water reserves. Plant scientists from the University of Nottingham, ...

A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules. Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories -- using E. coli and yeast -- to produce a special class of plant ...

A study at the University of Cordoba shows how algae produce auxin, a plant hormone, opening a path of communication with bacteria to generate synergies that could benefit agricultural production ...

Microbial factories provide a sustainable alternative to tree sap for producing elusive plant molecules, offering new insights into plant development. Plant SLs serve two roles: canonical ones act as ...
