Recent research into bacterial cellulose patches may speed plants' recovery, improve grafting and help with preservation.

Plants encounter various abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures, which can significantly hinder their growth and ...

Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to ...

Micro- and nanoscale plastic particles in soil and water can significantly increase how much toxic chemicals plants and human ...

Chemists at Emory University have invented a reaction to streamline the total synthesis of a compound, phaeocaulisin A, extracted from a plant used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine.

Most animal, plant and fungal cells contain organelles called mitochondria. These descendants of a primordial bacterial endosymbiont still preserve distinct genes and are known for their ability to ...

Conversely, mid-infrared photoacoustic microscopy (MIR-PAM) allows for label-free imaging, preserving cell integrity. Yet, its reliance on longer wavelengths limits spatial resolution, making it ...

The human body is interconnected with cell-to-cell communication to orchestrate an effective immune response. Plant cells are organized in a rigid, static order resembling a brick wall due to their ...

A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules. Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories ... that these sister genes, labeled as CYP722A and CYP722B ...
