In October, Poethig and fellow researcher Aaron Leichty — a former graduate student in Poethig’s lab — published research on ...

Sugar transporters are integral to the distribution of carbohydrates, which serve not only as energy sources but also as critical regulators of plant growth and organ development. These proteins ...

Plants use ubiquitin ligases to translate the presence of a phytohormone into a transcriptional response. Using cryo-EM, Vancea et al. reveal the mechanism underlying the perception of strigolactones ...

Despite 100 years of research on auxin, a plant hormone essential in regulating plants' development and responses to their surroundings, including the ability of plants to grow toward light, much ...

Ghent, Belgium, 10 March 2025 – New research from an international team of plant biologists, led by researchers at the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology, has revealed crucial insights into ...

AMES, Iowa – Hongqing Guo studies a gene that affects both how plants grow and how they respond to environmental threats, hoping to unravel – and then harness – the balancing act between fortifying ...

Researchers at the Department of Biochemistry, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), have uncovered a long-sought mechanism employed by primitive land plants such as bryophytes (including mosses and ...

New tech lets scientists study plant cells without rigid walls, using tiny droplets as growth chambers. This boosts control & speed, revealing how hormones impact cell growth & survival, aiding plant ...

Scientists have discovered that a molecule known for defending animal immune systems called itaconate also plays a powerful role in plants. Researchers showed that itaconate not only exists in plant ...

• Background and Aims The dynamical system of plant growth GREENLAB was originally developed for individual plants, without explicitly taking into account interplant competition for light. Inspired by ...
