The researchers discovered a new mechanism where ABA promotes the production of auxin, which enhances root gravitropism to grow them at steeper angles in response to drought. Experiments showed that ...

leading to increased root gravitropism and the ability to grow at steeper angles in response to drought. Studies revealed that, in comparison to normal plants, plants with genetic mutations that ...

An international research team has described a newly discovered algae species Streptofilum arcticum and its cell functions ...

As climate change accelerates, plants face mounting pressure to adapt to shifting ecosystems and environmental conditions.

Earth systems models are an important tool for studying complex processes occurring around the planet, such as those in and between the atmosphere and biosphere, and they help researchers and ...

Promoting mutually beneficial relationships between plants and soil microbes that enhance nutrient acquisition by plants could improve crop production without increasing inorganic-fertilizer use.

Agricultural science is increasingly focusing on the utilization of biostimulants as a means to enhance plant stress tolerance, which is crucial for crop ...

Plants that survive a freeze may need extra attention to ensure they bloom again. It's a scenario that plays out several times each year in the Greater Houston area: overnight temperatures dip ...
