For decades, the basics of plant growth have been taught in grade school: Plants make their food out of water from the soil, light from the sun and carbon dioxide from the air in a process called ...

The recent discovery of plant life deep underground is causing a stir in the scientific community, as it challenges longstanding biological theories. This groundbreaking research reveals that plants ...

A newly proposed biochemical cycle explains the function of photorespiration in plants, long thought to be a 'wasteful' energy consuming process.

Researchers have used a unique microscopic technique to examine the dynamics of pollen tubes in the Arabidopsis plant. They were able to observe the mechanism of one-to-one pollen tube guidance, a ...

With their own botanical collection material and their research knowledge on the evolution of cruciferous plants (plants of the cabbage family), bioscientists at Heidelberg University have contributed ...

The life sciences focus on patterns, processes, and relationships of living organisms. Life is self-contained, self-sustaining, self-replicating, and evolving, operating according to laws of the ...

In classrooms across India, Life Processes lessons are often reduced to a hurdle: a list of enzymes, flowcharts for transport, and diagrams to be labeled. But to treat this topic as mere coursework is ...

If the perspective of space and time is not properly applied to plant research, the understanding of biological processes is limited as well as the response to the threats that endanger the life of ...
