New research provides the first-ever, atomic-level, 3D structure of the largest protein complex (complex I) involved in the plant mitochondrial electron transport chain. The results could unlock new ...

Plants exhibit a fascinating diversity of secretory structures that play crucial roles in defence, adhesion, and communication with their environments. These specialised anatomical features, which ...

The work, published in the journal Plant Physiology, describes a new system called “Stomata In-Sight.” The technology addresses a persistent challenge in plant science by making it possible to track ...

Scientists are using the decellularized husks of plants such as parsley, vanilla and orchids to form three-dimensional scaffolds that can then be primed and seeded with human stem cells to optimize ...

The Mimosa plant, which folds its leaves when they're touched, is inspiring a new class of adaptive structures designed to twist, bend, stiffen and even heal themselves. University of Michigan ...

If you built a potato-powered clock as a child, you know plants can generate electricity. But scientists are now developing sophisticated methods to harness this power on a much larger scale. The ...

In this series on the principles of landscape design we will be focusing on correcting common design flaws while accounting ...
