Microbial factories provide a sustainable alternative to tree sap for producing elusive plant molecules, offering new insights into plant development. Plant SLs serve two roles: canonical ones act as ...

At first glance, plant and animal cells have a lot in common: they’re both highly organized, keep their DNA tucked away in an envelope, and are kinda juicy inside. But plant cells have evolved some ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 2. The intricate interplay of plant hormones is pivotal in regulating various aspects of plant growth and development, from seed ...

Plants have an immune system, like people, and when it is triggered by threats like disease or pests, a plant's defenses are activated. But there's a downside to this protective mechanism: the plant's ...

Researchers from the University of California (UC), San Diego, UC Riverside, and Utsunomiya University in Japan have demonstrated the feasibility of using microbial cell factories to amplify the ...

Plants can defend against disease, but their growth is stunted when their immune systems are triggered. That’s a problem if the plant is raised for food. CSU researchers have discovered how to turn on ...
