Understanding how plant hormones, particularly ethylene, control root growth direction offers insight into optimizing crop resilience and mitigating climate change. Scientists discovered ethylene's pivotal role in shaping root architecture, presenting opportunities to engineer plants for deeper root systems, enhancing carbon…

Scientists have developed a genetic method to enhance plant oil production, crucial for biofuels and nutrition. By modifying a protein that shields oil droplets, they increased oil content in leaves and seeds. This strategy promises sustainable fuel sources and nutrient-rich…

Researchers investigated the intricate interactions between moss, fungi, and endobacteria. Through microscopy and genetic analysis, they discovered that endobacteria within fungi influence their relationship with moss. These findings shed light on fundamental aspects of plant evolution.

Climate change is already harming agricultural yields and may one day pose a significant threat to the world’s food supply. Engineering more resilient crops, including those able to thrive in the face of drought or high soil salinity levels, is an increasingly…
