Water found to provide blueprints for root architecture

By Carnegie HQ
Audio Stanford, CA —Soil is a microscopic maze of nooks and crannies that hosts a wide array of life. Plants explore this environment by developing a complex branched network of roots that tap into scarce resources such as water and nutrients. How ...

AD: Scientists shed light on braking mechanisms in cellular signaling

By admin
Stanford, CA — A team of researchers studying a flowering plant has zeroed in on the way cells manage external signals about prevailing conditions, a capability that is essential for cells to survive in a fluctuating environment. Researchers at UC ...

Communicating with the world across the border

By Carnegie HQ
Audio Stanford, CA —All living cells are held together by membranes, which provide a barrier to the transport of nutrients. They are also the communication platform connecting the outside world to the cell’s interior control centers. Thousands of ...

Decoding the chemical vocabulary of plants

By Carnegie HQ
Audio Stanford, CA —Plants spend their entire lifetime rooted to one spot. When faced with a bad situation, such as a swarm of hungry herbivores or a viral outbreak, they have no option to flee but instead must fight to survive. What is the key to ...

New technique will accelerate genetic characterization of photosynthesis

By Carnegie HQ
Audio Stanford, CA — Photosynthesis provides fixed carbon and energy for nearly all life on Earth, yet many aspects of this fascinating process remain mysterious. For example, little is known about how it is regulated in response to changes in light ...

Drought hormones measured

By Carnegie HQ
Audio Stanford, CA—Floods and droughts are increasingly in the news, and climate experts say their frequency will only go up in the future. As such, it is crucial for scientists to learn more about how these extreme events affect plants in order to ...

Nectar: A sweet reward from plants to attract pollinators

By Carnegie HQ
Audio Stanford, CA — Evolution is based on diversity, and sexual reproduction is key to creating a diverse population that secures competitiveness in nature. Plants had to solve a problem: they needed to find ways to spread their genetic material. ...

Nitrogen-tracking tools for better crops and less pollution

By Carnegie HQ
Audio Stanford, CA — As every gardner knows, nitrogen is crucial for a plant’s growth. But nitrogen absorption is inefficient. This means that on the scale of food crops, adding significant levels of nitrogen to the soil through fertilizer presents ...
