In a collaboration between the Centre for Plant Biotechnology and Genomics (CBGP) in Spain and Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge ...

Mathematicians, physicists, and statisticians research plant development focusing on the meristem's gene control.

The turmoil on college campuses and at the Democratic National Convention in 1968 helped propel Richard Nixon to victory—and ...

Researchers have discovered a new mechanism of oil biosynthesis and found a way to genetically engineer a type of test plant ...

They discovered the genetic mechanism Physaria uses to makes those changes, then genetically engineered a related plant ...

To answer these questions, a research team led by the Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) in Japan focused on Arabidopsis, a model plant species frequently utilized in genetic research.

miRNAs are transcribed from a gene and processed by DCL1, SE and HYL1 into an RNA duplex (miRNA/miRNA*). The duplex is methylated by HEN and transported out of the nucleus by HST. The miRNA ...

Scientists have successfully engineered Arabidopsis, a commonly studied plant, to replicate these changes, leading to increased production of oils with properties like the commercially valuable castor ...

Plants can be temperamental. Even weeds along the side of highways or pushing their way up in the cracks of concrete sidewalks can get stressed out by dehydration, cold, excess salt and more.

The sensitivity of Arabidopsis meiotic centromeres to heat stress suggests that centromere function is one of the key determinants of plant reproduction under rising temperatures.

Recent findings that plants employ a drought-survival mechanism to also defend against nutrient-sucking pests could inform future crop breeding programs aimed at achieving better broadscale pest ...
