How seeds know it’s a good time to germinate

By Carnegie HQ
Palo Alto, CA— Dehydrated plant seeds can lay dormant for long periods—over 1,000 years in some species—before the availability of water can trigger germination. This protects the embryonic plant inside from a variety of environmental stresses until ...

Engineering light availability for crop production—a solution for coming challenges?

By Carnegie HQ
Palo Alto, CA— What if we could increase a plant’s productivity by modifying the light to which it is exposed? This could increase the yield of important food and biofuel crops and also combat climate change by sequestering atmospheric carbon. In a ...
