University of Missouri researchers have created rice plants that resist bacterial blight, a devastating disease that ...

A new review in Botanical Studies examines how flowering time genes, plant hormones, gene editing and AI-driven greenhouse ...

Gene deletion experiments in Trichoderma virens show that the fungus makes salicylic acid through a pathway distinct from ...

Genomes sampled around decisive branches in grass evolution reveal when distinct starch and lignin pathways arose. The genomic neighbourhood of ancestral phenylalanine ammonia lyase duplicates, ...

A recent study has unveiled how plants and bacteria exchange genes to boost plant health and development. The team discovered 75 genes that were transferred between small, fast-growing plants ...

An international team of scientists followed Arabidopsis thaliana, a small annual plant, in outdoor experiments across 30 ...

Newswise — Transcription factors are central to plant biology because they switch genes on and off in response to internal developmental programs and external stress. Among them, NF-Y factors are ...

Elucidating the relationship between the sequences of non-coding regulatory elements and their target genes is key to understanding gene regulation and its variation between plant species and ecotypes ...

Many plant species parasitize other plants by latching on and taking the nutrition their host needs to survive. But sometimes, plants steal more than nutrients; they take genes. A new study shows how ...

As NASA and its partners prepare for longer human missions beyond Earth, University of Florida researchers are investigating ...

Gene editing of plants enabled the production of more nutritionally rich rice and fortified tomatoes. But these innovations have often come about only through long, painstaking work. This process ...

Scientists discovered 2.3 million conserved non-coding sequences—some hundreds of millions of years old—using Conservatory, a new comparative plant genomics platform. Plant genomes often have ...
