Scientists discovered that mitochondria inside plant cells can pull oxygen away from chloroplasts, revealing a hidden mechanism that may help plants adapt to stress.

Scientists have uncovered an enormous hidden archive of plant DNA that has endured for more than 400 million years. By comparing hundreds of plant genomes, researchers identified more than 2.3 million ...

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 ...

A gift of $10 million to the University of Chicago from the Margot and Tom Pritzker Foundation will establish the Pritzker Plant Biology Center on the University’s Hyde Park campus. The research hub, ...

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

In most plants and animals, including humans, mitochondria are inherited exclusively, or nearly exclusively, from the mother.

Duke researchers discovered a relationship between a plant’s genes, microbiome and autoimmunity, offering potential applications in resisting climate change and improving human gut health. The study, ...

Scientists have discovered that a crucial protein found in plants, called auxin response factor (ARF) first arose about 600 million years ago, which was long before there were any plants around. This ...

The study of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and their influence on plant biology constitutes a rapidly evolving field that bridges environmental physics and plant science. EMFs, predominantly arising ...

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 ...

Sebastian Cocioba’s clapboard house on Long Island doesn’t look much like a cutting-edge plant biology lab. Then you step inside and peer down the hallway to see a small nook with just enough standing ...
