Plants constantly juggle oxygen inside their cells, but scientists have now discovered a surprising twist in how that balance works. Researchers at the University of Helsinki found that ...

Research suggests that consciousness could extend far beyond just humans—every cellular creature in the universe, no matter how big or small, could be conscious, too. Studies show that single-cell ...

"It's a chance for them to explore something entirely of their own choosing, and really do that independent learning..." ...

A tiny plant’s molecular “velcro” could help crops turn sunlight into food more efficiently. An international team of scientists has identified a surprising molecular strategy used by a rare group of ...

Michigan State University postdoctoral researcher Deepak Bhandari explores the molecular logistics of plant immunity and the role of the cell wall in pathogen resistance.

An international team of researchers has uncovered a remarkable molecular trick used by a unique group of land plants, one that could eventually be engineered into crops like wheat and rice to ...

Researchers have uncovered a molecular trick used by hornwort plants that could help future crops capture carbon dioxide more efficiently. A unique protein feature called RbcS-STAR causes the key ...

Research led by scientists at Washington State University has revealed insights on how plants form a microscopic landscape of proteins crucial to photosynthesis, the basis of Earth's food and energy ...

One of the most marginalized and in fact understudied plant groups, hornworts, has the potential to provide a long-awaited ...

If NIH prioritizes human-based science in its ongoing overhaul of biosafety policies, the oversight system that has evolved for review of a wide-swath of biological research could atrophy and expose ...

Ford is parking the Escape for good as it tears into a massive makeover of its Louisville Assembly Plant, clearing the way for a new family of lower-cost electric vehicles. First in line is a midsize ...
