New imaging technique can capture entire plant tissues in 3D

By Isabel News, Plant Science

The cellular life inside a plant is as vibrant as the blossom. In each plant tissue—from root tip to leaf tip—there are hundreds of cell types that relay information about functional needs and environmental changes. Now, a new technology can…

Researchers map complete millet genome to help with food security

By Isabel Agriculture, Fruits and Vegetables, News

New knowledge of ancient grain may enable breeding for climate change adaptation. An international team of researchers has unlocked a large-scale genomic analysis of Setaria or foxtail millet, an important cereal crop. The study advances our understanding of the domestication and evolution of…

eDNA could help protect insect pollinators of avocado flowers

By Isabel Botany, News, Plant Science

New esearch has found using environmental DNA (eDNA), in conjunction with conventional methods, to monitor how insects interact with flowers could potentially improve conservation rates.

Plant ecology study shows dominant influence of climate on vegetation

By Isabel Botany, Climate change, Forestry, News

For several years, ecological research has argued that climate often has no determining influence on the distribution of forests and savannas in tropical regions. However, an international research team has now succeeded in proving that it depends mostly on climatic…

Identifying new genes may elevate efficiency of photosynthesis in crops, could boost yields

By Isabel Agriculture, News

Corn leaves on the lowest rung of a plant’s stem spend much of the day shrouded in shade. A gust of wind can crack the window to photosynthesis, and growth, for those leaves, but they typically can’t adjust in time…

Short-Lived Solutions for Tall Trees in Chile’s Megadrought

By Isabel Forestry, News, Plant Science

Some southern beeches in the Andes have plumbed deeper for moisture as the surface has dried up. But doing so may deplete resources and undermine the trees’ future health.

Orchids’ ability to grow on other plants independently evolved multiple times

By Isabel Botany, News, Plant Science

New detailed genetic analysis clarifies the evolutionary relationships among orchids and reveals that the plant’s ability to grow on trees evolved independently in several lineages.

How plants use sugar to produce roots

By Isabel News, Plant Science

Along with sugar reallocation, a basic molecular mechanism within plants controls the formation of new lateral roots. An international team of plant biologists has demonstrated that it is based on the activity of a certain factor, the target of rapamycin…
