While earlier studies had shown that plants had more than one type of phytochrome, Arabidopsis, for example, has five types: phytochrome A-E (R. Sharrock, P. Quail, Genes and Development, 3:1745-57, ...

The study also highlighted the role of phytochrome, a plant pigment involved in light perception, in mediating these effects, suggesting that laser treatment can enhance seed vigor and salt ...

Plants 'see' this through the light-sensitive pigment phytochrome," says Ronald Pierik, professor of molecular biology at Wageningen University & Research. The pigment is like a switch ...

Jan. 16, 2025 — A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules. Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories -- using E. coli and ... Gene-Edited Soil Bacteria ...

Botanic Gardens Must Team Up to Save Wild Plants from Extinction Jan. 27, 2025 — The world's botanic gardens must pull together to protect global plant biodiversity in the face of the extinction ...

While it’s easier than ever to buy live plants online, sometimes, despite our best intentions, those live plants become, well, dead plants. Artificial plants — fake plants, silk plants ...

Plants deploy cell-surface and intracellular immune receptors to recognize pathogens. In a comparative analysis of 808 angiosperm genomes, we reveal that during plant adaptation to diverse special ...

Plant-based diets have soared in popularity as people look for ways to improve their health, reduce their carbon footprint, and consume less (or no) animal products. But while following plant ...

CNET’s expert staff reviews and rates dozens of new products and services each month, building on more than a quarter century of expertise.

The field of plant photobiology has evolved rapidly over the past decade, expanding our understanding of how light influences every aspect of plant life, from gene expression to ecosystem interactions ...

Light provides material energy to plants as the basis for cell division and differentiation, chlorophyll synthesis, tissue growth and stomatal movement, and light intensity, photoperiod, and light ...
