Hyperhydricity is a prevalent physiological disorder encountered during in vitro plant propagation. It is characterised by excessive water accumulation, resulting in translucent tissues, altered ...

Tea quality depends on a delicate balance between amino acids and secondary metabolites, yet how these compounds are coordinated at the molecular level has remained unclear.

A new study from the University of Helsinki reveals how plant mitochondria draw molecular oxygen away from chloroplasts, an ...

A mutant seedling revealed how plant tissues scatter incoming light, allowing plants to sense its direction and move toward it. On a shelf lined with terra cotta pots, herbs bend their stems toward ...

(Nanowerk News) Tissue engineering seeks to repair damaged tissues by providing cellular scaffolds that support regeneration. Ideally, these scaffolds should be biocompatible, biodegradable materials ...

In the shadowy underworld of soil, tiny plastic particles are lurking like molecular saboteurs. Researchers have long suspected they're sneaking into our crops, but the trail often goes cold fast. Why ...

What do plant tissues look like under a microscope and why are they so complex! Plants—they’re just like us! Well, not exactly, but they do have skin and hair like us…even if they also have creepy ...
