Phytochelatin synthases (PCSs) produce phytochelatins—tiny, cysteine-rich peptides that bind and neutralize toxic metal ions ...

UC Davis graduate student Jeffrey Groh has discovered how walnut trees are able to produce flowers of different sexes at different times in the same season. The genetic mechanism is similar to sex ...

Gardening in a changing climate can be a challenge. Join Pam Paulsen, Reno County horticulture agent, to explore practical methods to grow gardens that are resilient to tough growing conditions.

There is great incentive to genetically engineer crops that possess desirable traits like greater biomass production and resistance to pathogens while requiring less resources, including space and ...

Researchers have discovered that plants may be able to control the genetics of their intimate root symbionts - the organism with which they live in symbiosis - thereby providing a better understanding ...

A study appearing in Nature Microbiology analyzes soils sampled across the state of Kansas to determine the importance of ...

Plants exchange adaptive information, helping them to adjust to environmental challenges. Salt stress in plants, caused by ...

Researchers have published a simple trick that improves the accuracy of techniques that help us understand how external variables -- such as temperature -- affect gene activity in plants. Researchers ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Humanity's efforts to modify food plants is as old as farming itself, some 10,000 years. Before genetic engineering became possible, farmers have used simple selection inter- and ...
