Because nitrogen fertilizers contribute to global greenhouse gas emissions, scientists are looking for ways to modify agricultural plants so that they rely on less nitrogen. In research published ...

The university team, led by Ayami Nakagawa and Keiko Torii, synthesized Stomidazolone, a chemical compound that inhibits stomatal differentiation in plants. Stomata are microscopic pores located ...

In Nijmegen, Netherlands, researchers have installed the world's first microscope capable of live imaging of biological processes in such detail that moving protein complexes are visible. This new ...

Basal angiosperms exhibited floral traits associated with higher water and carbon costs, such as petal stomatal density, stomatal pore area index, pedicel hydraulic diameter, maximum vessel diameter, ...

A team from the Research Institute for Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology (IBMCP), a joint center of the Universitat Politècnica de Valencia (UPV) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), ...

Using genetic, cell biological, and pharmacological approaches, we report here that ERECTA-LIKE1 (ERL1), the major receptor restricting plant stomatal differentiation, undergoes dynamic subcellular ...
