The study of plant flowering and developmental mechanisms has long been pivotal in understanding how plants synchronise their reproductive cycles with environmental cues. Recent advances have delved ...

Scientists have discovered that a molecule known for defending animal immune systems called itaconate also plays a powerful role in plants. Researchers showed that itaconate not only exists in plant ...

Cytokinin signalling remains a central focus in plant biology due to its vital role in regulating cell division, meristem maintenance and overall plant architecture. Recent investigations have ...

The ability to genetically engineer plants is largely thanks to a microscopic helper: a bacterium called Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Agrobacterium in the wild causes damaging tumors in flowering plants ...

As sessile organisms, plants are incredibly mindful of their time. As a result, they extensively regulate cellular and physiological processes through a combination of circadian (anticipatory) and ...
