Researchers have revealed for the first time how a mechanism that controls root development in plants enables them to cope better with environmental stress conditions. A team of plant scientists from ...

Leaves, flowers and fruits are the stars of the plant world and capture our hearts with beauty and delight. But it’s the unsung heroes deep below the surface that are doing much of the hard work.

Even if you don't know what 3D microfluidic networks are, that doesn't change the fact that they have some very valuable possible uses. Scientists have now devised a much easier method of making the ...

Green plants and algae use light energy to make glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. Temperature, carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity can affect the rate of photosynthesis.

Understanding how to divide snake plants (Dracaena spp.) without harming their roots starts with considering why roots matter in the first place. Roots store energy, which can help plant divisions ...
