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 ...

Our resident houseplant pro shares which species lend themselves to early spring propagation, and the best methods to get them to successfully root.

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

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

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 ...

By snatching chloroplasts from algae, animals called sacoglossans produce their own energy through photosynthesis ...

It's long been assumed that for an organism to learn, remember or draw conclusions, it needs a brain. But mounting evidence, including a recent Cognitive Science study, challenges that assumption, ...

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 ...

(KTLA) – A 17-year-old whiz kid whose Southern California home was at the center of an FBI and hazmat squad probe last week said the search was all because of his science experiment. Federal ...

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 ...

Professor Bo Liu, Department of Plant Biology, holds an Arabidopsis plant while Professor Jawdat Al-Bassam, Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, holds a model of the augmin protein complex.

A 17-year-old whiz kid whose Irvine home was at the center of an FBI and hazmat squad probe last week said the search was all because of his science experiment. Federal authorities said they were ...
