A research collaboration has demonstrated the function of a genetic pathway for anther development, with this pathway proven in 2019 work to be present widely in the flowering plants that evolved over ...

Scientists are conducting extensive research on developing metal-based and carbon-based nanomaterials to improve plant growth and development. Nanomaterials can be used as promising tools to deliver ...

Researchers take a big step in showing efficacy of bioprinting plant cells to study cellular communication and viability in a controlled environment. A new study from North Carolina State University ...

1. Solid biosilica (phytoliths) deposited in plant tissues is thought to function as structural support, as a cost-effective alternative to lignin, and in herbivore defence, by limiting nutrient ...

Nanomaterials are being used to give plants novel and augmented functions, with potential applications ranging from self-healing materials to living electronics, report Michael Strano and Juan Pablo ...

A new study from North Carolina State University shows a reproducible way of studying cellular communication among varied types of plant cells by "bioprinting" these cells via a 3D printer. Learning ...

It is said that 10 to 15% of the world's agricultural production loss is caused by diseases, which is equivalent of the food for about 500 million people. And since 70-80% of this plant disease is ...

The plant science major applies the principles of biology, chemistry, and agriculture to plant life. The curriculum is flexible enough to let students create an academic program with their advisor ...
