The team mainly explored the behavior of a plant called 'Arabidopsis thaliana' when it was exposed to a pest attack.

For the past 30 years, scientists have been on a mission to unlock the secrets of how plants defend themselves. That journey ...

Nanoparticles can, in theory, deliver cargo directly to a leaf’s interior and then break down safely. Scientists suspected ...

This paper examines selection on induced epigenetic variation ("Lamarckian evolution") in response to herbivory in Arabidopsis thaliana. The authors find weak evidence for such adaptation, which ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed a genetic editing method tailored to crop plants, which has influenced ...

Scientists from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have discovered a promising new use for a ...

IISER Bhopal researchers discover how a single protein in plants regulates the timing of emergence from darkness to light.

In one room of the lab sat a flat of young tobacco and Arabidopsis plants, each imbued with fluorescent proteins derived from jellyfish. Researchers led me into a small microscope room.

This photograph compares Arabidopsis plants of the wild type (left) to an ethylene-response mutant. News organizations may use this image in reports about the work of Purdue University's Gyeong ...

Scientists at Saitama University in Japan have observed plants communicating for the first time. Using genetically modified Arabidopsis thaliana, the researchers tracked fluorescent calcium ...

In a lab in Wisconsin, Schlanger pinches the leaf of an Arabidopsis plant, and sees its veins light up under a microscope in “a bioluminescent ripple” of a wave of sensation. It seems to ...
