Recent breakthroughs in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA), such as the recently developed "RevGel-seq" method, have revolutionized plant cell analysis. This technique, independent of special ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced naturally during cellular metabolism often cause oxidative damage to cells. However, ...

The Penn Biology Department recently launched the Plant Adaptability and Resilience Center to research methods of enhancing plant performance in the face of climate change. Led by DiMaura Professor of ...

A new study sheds light on how the ancestors of modern land plants survived one of the most challenging aspects of life outside water: exposure to harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. By examining a ...

Root hairs represent a low-cost strategy to enhance nutrient uptake because they can significantly increase the nutrient-acquiring surface of plant roots. While primary and lateral roots are ...

Systems-level thinking has transformed how we study life across scales, from molecules and cells to populations, communities ...

Plants, as the base for ecological food chains, serve as the structural and functional foundation of natural and managed systems. The study of plant science and biotechnology provides opportunity in a ...

This book critically reviews advances in our understanding of the biology of vascular epiphytes since Andreas Schimper's 1888 seminal work. It addresses all aspects of their biology, from anatomy and ...

Plant regeneration represents a cornerstone of modern plant science, blending fundamental questions in developmental biology ...
