Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. “Molecular farming started out with transgenic plants,” said Rybicki. Scientists developed several strategies to produce transgenic ...
Plant molecular farming (PMF) may seem like a bold option for companies accustomed to mammalian or microbial systems, but recent advances have transformed plant-based bioproduction into serious, ...
Plant regeneration represents a cornerstone of modern plant science, blending fundamental questions in developmental biology ...
The new AI-powered workflow helps scientists identify which plant genes control the best microbial partnerships. This accelerates the engineering of microbiomes that help plants grow faster, require ...
Plant scientists have long known that phosphorus is a crucial component in plant growth. Biologists are now developing a better understanding of how plants detect and use that resource -- potentially ...
Protein–protein interactions are one of the pillars of all life processes. Many signalling molecules work by promoting and stabilizing these interactions. These molecular ‘glues’ bind simultaneously ...
Scientists at the University of California-Riverside recently discovered a chemical that plants produce that could help prevent infections in medical patients. Science Daily reported on the findings, ...
Imagine if our bodies could grow new organs throughout our entire lives. Plants do this constantly, thanks to tiny, powerful reservoirs of stem cells. But how do these cells know when to divide, and ...
Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are among the most destructive pests threatening global agriculture, causing annual crop losses exceeding $80 billion worldwide 1. Among these, Meloidogyne species, ...
