How new plant cell walls change their mechanical properties after cell division

Scientists have revealed new plant cell walls can have significantly different mechanical properties compared to surrounding parental cell walls, enabling cells to change their local shape and influence the growth of plant organs.

A few essential genetic differences tailor flowers to bee or hummingbird pollinators

Plants that rely on animal pollinators, such as insects or birds, have evolved distinctive suites of flower characteristics—known as "pollination syndromes"—that are tailored to the pollinator. Large differences in flower characteristics between wildflowers with different pollinators are achieved by a…

Genetically engineering associations between plants and nitrogen-fixing microbes could lessen dependence on synthetic fertilizer

Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growth, but the overuse of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture is not sustainable. In a review article a team of bacteriologists and plant scientists discuss the possibility of using genetic engineering to facilitate…
