Light doesn’t just help plants grow, it also strengthens their internal structure by tightening the connection between tissues. This added rigidity can actually slow growth, revealing a hidden balance ...

Plastic particles are infiltrating crops, reducing growth in tomatoes and wheat and raising new concerns about contamination.

Light doesn’t just help plants grow—it may also quietly hold them back. Researchers have uncovered a surprising mechanism where light strengthens the “glue” between a plant’s outer skin and its inner ...

Scientists are looking to plant tissues that are capable of motion to inspire the design and fabrication of artificial actuators. These bioinspired actuators hold significant potential in applications ...

Study finds micro and nanoplastics in the leaves and stems of both tomato and wheat crops, reducing reducing plant growth and ...

"Tissue culture is something that is becoming a very emergent industry," Kellar said. "It's in the backbone of many food ...

A mutant seedling revealed how plant tissues scatter incoming light, allowing plants to sense its direction and move toward it. On a shelf lined with terra cotta pots, herbs bend their stems toward ...

Plants constantly juggle oxygen inside their cells, but scientists have now discovered a surprising twist in how that balance works. Researchers at the University of Helsinki found that ...
