Plant Research (Environment and Climate)

 

Researchers develop a highly sensitive novel technique capable of detecting chiral molecules within complex gas mixtures more

Discovery that plants protect their most essential genes transforms our view of evolution more

Nitrogen may boost plant productivity, but the imbalance with phosphor reduces water use efficiency. more

Plants collected by Darwin have helped reveal the ancestry of European potatoes more

Metabolites in above-ground parts of a plant reveal a plant’s successful mutualism with mycorrhizal fungi more

A biochemical mechanism controls which nanostructures are formed in calcite-forming microorganisms more

RNA interference protects potato plants against herbivore attack more

The symbiosis by which nodule bacteria make atmospheric nitrogen available for plants has very likely exactly one evolutionary origin, about 100 million years ago more

Plants produce greenhouse gas from the amino acid methionine more

Researchers discover an additional level of this insect-plant symbiosis more

The greenhouse gas methane is also released by fungi more

During the evolution of plants of the mustard family a leucine producing enzyme mutated into an enzyme that protects plants against herbivores more

With many regions of the world becoming more arid as a result of the climate change, the crop yield also decreases. New types of crops should therefore be more resistant to aridity. more

Molecular biologists have discovered how the growth of leaves and the aging process of plants are coordinated more

UV radiation and rising temperatures increase methane emissions from plants more
