Researchers have found that a peptide hormone regulates two different cell division processes that generate centrally important structures for the flow of water through plants. By binding to different ...

• Xylem anatomy and function have large implications for plant growth as well as survival during drought, but the impact of nutrient limitation on xylem is not fully understood. This study examines ...

Study results released Wednesday show surprising parallels between the "plumbing" systems of plants and people. The research reveals the distribution of vital fluids through pipe-like structures of ...

Green plants and algae use light energy to make glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. Temperature, carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity can affect the rate of photosynthesis.

University of Utah researchers spent two years slicing stems and leaves to discover that the plumbing system carrying water through many plants obeys a 1926 law describing how arteries and vessels ...

SMART researchers have pioneered the first Covalent Organic Framework (COF) sensors integrated within silk fibroin (SF) microneedles capable of detecting pH changes in plant xylem tissues These pH ...
