A new study finds that Canada could remove at least five times its annual carbon emissions with strategic planting of more than six million hectares of trees along the northern edge of the boreal forest.  

A new study has identified a unique trait in the aquatic plant Ottelia alismoides that it can simultaneously employ three distinct CO₂-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs). This finding provides new insights into how these pathways, long considered incompatible within the same plant tissue, can operate concurrently.

Researchers have uncovered how successful chromosome segregation during sexual reproduction is achieved in plants.

A joint research team has discovered a new molecular switch that determines when plant leaves begin to age. The research team has identified for the first time a new mechanism in which RNA made from the nucleus moves to chloroplasts…
