Climate change is affecting when and how violets reproduce

Violets reproduce both sexually, through cross-pollination of the showy flowers we're familiar with; and asexually, by self-seeding of less noticeable flowers that remain hidden near the base of the plant. This is called "mixed mating." Although environmental factors drive how much a…

Lupin used as winter cover crop boosts summer sorghum yield

Lupin, a well-known garden flower, grows rapidly and puts nutrients back into the soil. A new study focused on how lupin can serve as a winter cover crop and how it can affect subsequent high-biomass sorghum and cotton yields.

New Endoplasmic Reticulum Sorting Mechanism Was Discovered

Protein sorting in the secretory pathway is essential for cellular compartmentalization and homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the biosynthetic and folding factory of secretory cargo proteins. The cargo transport from the ER to the Golgi is…

What shedding light on plant growth could mean for cancer

Understanding how plants process light is key to improving crop yields. Light helps plants know when to grow and flower at the right time. Plants find light using proteins called photoreceptors. The research team uncovered how proteins called UBP12 and UBP13 help regulate…

Gene Hunting Leads Researchers to Solve Mystery of Inhibition of Awn Elongation in Sorghum

An awn is a needle-like structure seen in grass species, whose presence or absence in plants is controlled genetically. However, this mechanism is poorly understood in sorghum, a cereal widely consumed around the world. Now, researchers from Japan have identified…
