A corn plant knows how to find water in soil with the very tips of its roots, but some varieties, including many used for ...

The study identified many proteins associated with the nuclear matrix in Arabidopsis thaliana. Among them are well-known nuclear matrix proteins, including AtSUN1, AtSUN2, and AHL22, along with ...

A n international research team, including Dr. Justyna Olas who is co-first author on the study, has uncovered fundamental mechanisms regulating flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana, as detailed ...

Plant pests such as bacteria and fungi lead to significant yield losses in agriculture. In order to develop new strategies ...

New research has identified crucial components and mechanisms of the plant immune system, potentially helping to develop ...

Biologists have identified important components and mechanisms of the molecular machinery that transmits information about a pathogen encounter within the plant organism.

The team introduced bacterial pathogens to the leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana—a flowering weed in the mustard family commonly used as a model in research. They then analyzed the plant’s ...

Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, an international team of researchers has investigated how two crucial proteins -- KNL2 and CENP-C -- dock to the centromere -- components which play a ...

Built upon in situ hybridization and sequencing technologies, PHYTOMap simultaneously visualized dozens of genes in a 3D space with a whole tissue sample of Arabidopsis thaliana. “I chose Arabidopsis ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.

Iowa State University scientists recently made a significant breakthrough in scientists’ ability to identify specific ...

Our group is studying the development of vascular cambium by using Arabidopsis thaliana root as a model. Vascular cambium produces xylem (wood) and phloem, and together with the cork cambium, which ...
