Researchers propose a novel approach to sustainable agriculture through induced resistance in plants.
This "new" diet has been around for thousands of years.
Despite not being herbivorous, snow leopards seem to eat more plants than you'd think.
Personalized medicine is finally becoming a reality — starting with the food we eat.
Buy you still may not know if their crying means crying or something else.
The group is way more threatened than previously assumed.
This has implications way beyond just plants.
The algorithm analyzed the relationship between leaf size and climate
Plant domestication can't be explained just by the behavior of humans.
Plants also talk, and they talk a lot under stress, but we are not sure who listens to the different sounds they emit.
It's like Shazam for plants -- you identify plants based on just taking a picture.
It could help to engineer crops that can better cope with extreme weather.
Study finds more losers than winners among over 80,000 plant species.
Even the genes that make us shed tears when cutting onions are bacterial in origin.
Sometimes the plan is all set but logistics don't help you.
We thought we knew everything about this most-studied plant. But we were wrong.
We all got to eat, right?
Turns out, watching plants grow is actually quite interesting.
Plants are on track to move from being carbon sinks to carbon sources
It has over a million entries!
Researchers want to continue exploring the island's plants, which are in danger from loggers and farmers.
Plastic waste could impact our crops.
It's just like in Avatar.
Greater plant diversity benefits everyone in the ecosystem, a new study reports. Higher levels of plant diversity allow ecosystems to utilize more energy and more efficiently, new research found. Ecosystems with 60 or more plant species contained twice the amount of living biomass, on average, than ecosystems built on plant monocultures. This is the first […]
I have the utmost respect for everyone who made this happen.
Vegetation cover is increasing across four height brackets in the area.
I like plant.
In a hotter future, plants will consume more water than they do today — which means a drier future despite the anticipated increases in precipitation. Climate heating is estimated to increase precipitation levels in places like the United States and Europe through the generation of more water vapor and weather pattern disruptions. However, humans may […]
High up in the mountains of China.
In recent times, the human diet has changed substantially. We have access to an unprecedented variety of foods, yet meat consumption has increased dramatically: from 20 kilograms a year in 1961, to around 43 kilograms in 2014. However, recent studies have increasingly found that meat consumption can have negative health effects, and substitute meat for […]
It's common sense that a plant's roots grow downward in the soil -- but it hasn't always been like this.
Please don't litter cigarette butts!
This is huge news for the biotech industry.
This might solve a long-standing puzzle about plant domestication.
The Earth's great recycle bin.
Mankind has been cooking starches for a long, long time.
We flower in peace!
Old tricks, new ways to implement them.
Lignin’ on a dream!
"They're OUR genes, tovarish plant" -- grasses.
Which is to say, slowly!
A chicken and egg problem -- rehashed in an unlikely scenario.
Well, this is an unusual problem to have.
Thanks, plants!
These plants could become our climate "canary in the coal mine".
Climate change could cause an ecological break-down.
Plants might have moved on to the land 100 million years earlier than we thought.
We all have to make ends meet. Even plants.
It's funny to realize that we've been using anesthetics for at least a century now, but we still don't *really* know why they work.
The bad news is that we need this in the first place.
