Sucrose is a vital energy source in plants. It also drives growth and serves as an important signaling molecule during stress and development. Sucrose is a key product of photosynthesis and the ...

A team has clarified how in plants the boric acid channels, the conduits for the necessary element boron, are transported to the plasma membrane. Botanists have come to understand the channels and ...

A new computational pipeline for analyzing three-dimensional imaging data can help biologists more accurately and quickly see how the cells in a plant's leaves respond to the environment and identify ...

Ferredoxin is a pivotal iron–sulphur protein that functions as an electron carrier in the photosynthetic electron transport chain. Within chloroplasts, photosystem I reduces ferredoxin, which in turn ...

Microfluidic technology has become increasingly important in many scientific fields, such as regenerative medicine, ...

A team of Chinese scientists has uncovered a hidden 3D structure in rice DNA that allows the crop to grow more grain while ...

The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has successfully employed 3D printing to create large rotating steam turbine blades for power plants, in collaboration with Siemens ...
