UC Davis plant biologists have resolved the structure of proteins vital to energy production in mung beans. Understanding these proteins gives insight into basic plant biology, stress responses, and ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Seven teams of Purdue Center for Plant Biology faculty will receive seed grant funding for various projects aimed at advancing basic plant biology. The PCPB’s first seed grant ...

Researchers at Oregon State University have made a major discovery in basic plant biology that may set the stage for profound advances in plant genetics or biotechnology. When more research is done, ...

The solutions to feeding the world are certainly multi-faceted, requiring knowledge from a diversity of fields and practices to successfully raise food production and maintain ecosystem security. Thus ...

The graduate program offers training in the breadth of plant biology and in specialized topics represented by the following four research areas: cell and developmental biology; environmental and ...

To understand why fertilizer works, we need to get some basic plant biology out of the way. Plants need large amounts of three nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. Combine those with water ...

Chemical biology is beginning to enhance our understanding of diverse cellular processes in plants, including endomembrane trafficking, hormone transport and cell wall biosynthesis. To reach its ...

Credit: Adrienne Roeder, PLoS Biology, 8, e1000367 HHMI and GBMF formed the collaboration because of concern that basic plant science research has long been underfunded in the United States. The ...

Ancient events in plant evolution have left behind large, duplicated regions in their genomes. Salk Institute scientists found that deleting these large blocks of DNA can still lead to normal plants.

The Scientific Research Center of Yucatán (CICY, for its Spanish acronym) was founded in November 1979 as part of an effort to decentralize scientific activities from Mexico City. Several of the ...

One of the planet's leading questions is how to produce enough food to feed the world in an increasingly variable climate. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations predicts that ...
