A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules. Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories -- using E. coli and yeast -- to produce a special class of plant ...

Scientists have discovered, for the first time, how root cells respond to their complex soil environment, revealing that roots actively "sense" their microenvironment and mount precise, cell-specific ...

This breakthrough allows researchers to visualize where individual genes are active at the cellular level—information that has long been missing due to technical limitations in tea biology. By ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- It might look like a comet or a shooting star, but this time-lapse video is actually a tiny plant root, not much thicker than a human hair, magnified hundreds of times as it grows ...
