The cell wall forms a boundary around every plant cell that protects the cell from stress and determines its expansion and shape. Pectins are highly conserved and abundant components of the primary ...

A gene that regulates the development of roots in vascular plants is also involved in the organ development of liverworts—land plants so old they don't even have proper roots. The Kobe University ...

Scientists identified a gene responsible for triggering plants to develop fruits and seeds. This finding may help agriculturists bypass pollination altogether for food production, which will be ...

Researchers at the Department of Biochemistry, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), have uncovered a long-sought mechanism employed by primitive land plants such as bryophytes (including mosses and ...

A new discovery changes ideas about the origin of branching in plants. A new discovery by scientists at the University of Bristol changes ideas about the origin of branching in plants. By studying the ...

Twenty five years ago, the IAEA initiated a research programme on the development of in vitro mutagenesis in banana at the Plant Breeding Laboratory and since then has developed considerable and ...
