Scientists are conducting extensive research on developing metal-based and carbon-based nanomaterials to improve plant growth and development. Nanomaterials can be used as promising tools to deliver ...

To meet the growing demand for faster scientific discovery that strengthens the bioeconomy, plant scientists worked with ...

When looking at forests, we hardly get to see beyond a bunch of green. However, for a plant ecologist, forests represent a much more complex world consisting of different species. This diversity of ...

Turning ordinary houseplants into sustainable, glowing lamps may soon become a reality, thanks to groundbreaking research by scientists at MIT. By embedding specialized nanoparticles into plant leaves ...

Researchers take a big step in showing efficacy of bioprinting plant cells to study cellular communication and viability in a controlled environment. A new study from North Carolina State University ...

Balanophora shed one third of its genes as it evolved into a streamlined parasitic plant -- an extreme degree of genome shrinkage even among parasites. Along the way this subtropical plant developed ...

Two parasitic plants in a new study are losing genes related to photosynthesis and other plant functions as they continue their food-sucking habits. By Laura Baisas Published Sep 21, 2023 11:00 AM EDT ...

It is said that 10 to 15% of the world's agricultural production loss is caused by diseases, which is equivalent of the food for about 500 million people. And since 70-80% of this plant disease is ...

The Key to Ecosystem Resilience in a Changing World The field of ecological research has long established that plant ...

A new study from North Carolina State University shows a reproducible way of studying cellular communication among varied types of plant cells by "bioprinting" these cells via a 3D printer. Learning ...
