A rare fossil plant reveals how early plants moved water and food, helping to explain the secrets of tree growth.

The tallest plants alive today can grow to over 100 meters tall. But they evolved from ancestors that were just a few ...

Průhonice, Czech Republic - The green world that we live in would not have been possible without hidden changes to the plant body over the last 400 million years. To grow beyond just centimetres tall ...

Plant tissue culture involves cultivating plant cells, tissues, and organs in a nutrient-rich medium using controlled, aseptic techniques. 1 Since its inception in the early 20th century, plant tissue ...

New techniques allow live-observation of forming cell walls in the vascular tissue. Trees are by far the tallest organisms on Earth. Height growth is made possible by a specialized vascular system ...

Researchers have developed biosensors that make it possible to monitor sugar levels in real time deep in the plant tissues - something that has previously been impossible. The information from the ...
