Effect of climate change on kidney beans, bean sprouts and green beans

The researchers have evaluated the impact of the effects of climate change on vital parameters of bean varieties, such as their morphology, reproduction, production, and phenology. Thus, they have detected some very sensitive types to variations in their conditions of…

Insights from algae genes unlock mysteries of plant growth and health

A new study has discovered the functions of hundreds of genes in algae, some of which are also present in plants. The achievement will help efforts to genetically engineer algae for biofuel production and develop strains of agricultural crops that can…

In poplars, two plant hormones boost each other in defense against pathogenic fungi

In contrast to previous assumptions, the defense hormones salicylic acid and jasmonic acid do not always suppress each other in regulating plant chemical defenses against pests and pathogens. In trees, the interplay of both hormones can actually increase plant resistance.…

Tree “Fitbits” Track Urban Growth, Flowering, More

Low-cost “tree fitbits” can pinpoint the precise timing of tree activities, like spring bloom or autumn leaf change, according to a new study. Researchers outfitted two ash trees with high-resolution accelerometers, efficiently tracking how the trees responded to changing seasons.
