The young plant’s pantry does more than just feed it

A research team has observed that the role of plant tissue – the endosperm – is not only to feed the seed but is crucial for the development and protection of young plants.

First artificial scaffolds for studying plant cell growth

What we cannot see is how plants sense force, at least not yet. But a discovery by plant biologists will help make it possible to study how mechanical forces, such as gravity, affect the way that plant cells form and…

Fleshy Fruits Are More Common in Tropics: Phylogenic Analysis

Fruits can be dichotomously classified as fleshy or dry. Although many factors have been proposed to explain the pattern that the fleshy-fruited species occur with deceasing latitude and altitude, the relative importance of these factors has not yet been resolved. Researchers…
