Autophagy is the body’s way of cleaning out damaged cells, in order to regenerate newer, healthier cells. It allows your body to remove the dysfunctional cells.

How plants maintain this precise positioning is unclear. Myosin XI is a plant-specific motor protein that moves along actin filaments and helps in intracellular organelle transport.

The long-term effects of nanoparticles in agriculture remain largely unexplored. Questions about nanoparticle degradation, potential toxicity, and accumulation in the environment or food chain need to ...

Brodersen’s contributions to the field of plant physiology have provided critical insights into the mechanisms by which plants manage water transport and stress responses, significantly advancing our ...

New research identifies for the first time the genes that help plants grow under stressful conditions - with implications for producing more sustainable food crops in the face of global climate change ...

Abstract The response of two local maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes designated as Sahwal-2002 (salt-tolerant) and Sadaf (salt-sensitive) to salt stress was investigated under controlled growth conditions ...

Instead, plant a row of eastern red cedars (Juniperus virginiana), which tolerate both salt spray and soil-borne salt. Red cedars are also deer-resistant, while arborvitae are attractive to deer.

This display in Bruges, Belgium, celebrates networks that connect trees and other plants through fungi underground. It's just one of the ways plants can “talk” to each other and organisms from ...
