Research has shed intriguing new light on the genetics underlying the diverse plant organ shapes seen in agriculture and nature. Despite more than a century of scientific investigation into the role ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed the first-ever method of detecting ribonucleic acid, or RNA, inside plant cells using a technique that results in a visible fluorescent ...

A groundbreaking imaging method for tracking salt inside plant cells has rewritten knowledge of how roots handle toxic levels of sodium ions. The findings might aid efforts to boost plant resilience ...

ORNL scientists created a biosensor technology that lets researchers visualize and track RNA activity in living plants, using a molecular splicing technique and a fluorescent marker protein. *This ...

At first glance, plant and animal cells have a lot in common: they’re both highly organized, keep their DNA tucked away in an envelope, and are kinda juicy inside. But plant cells have evolved some ...

Scientists have created a new atlas of plant cells during immune response, in turn discovering a new rare cell state, called Primary IMmunE Responder (PRIMER), that acts as an immune response hub to ...
