Potato-associated bacteria can act as bodyguards
Bacteria found with potatoes can help protect their hosts against late blight. The aid comes from their volatile emissions.
Aquaporins and apoplastic barriers in nutrient-limited barley
Aquaporins can change their activity reversibly, if exposed to a change in nutrients.
Is auxin behind adventitious root formation in petunia cuttings?
Yes, but you’ll need nitrogen and somewhere dark.
CIPK9 regulates ammonium-dependent root growth in rice
What interacts with IDD10 to manage ammonium uptake in rice? New research points to CIPK9.
Wild tomatoes have the genes to partner with fungi
Foraging for nutrients is easier when something else does it for you, but how can tomatoes better attract a partner?
Root growth and plant height connected to an auxin-related gene
What makes a plant tall? Scientists think it may be connected to a gene involved in responding to the hormone Auxin.
How important is meat to a curious carnivorous plant?
Drosophyllum lusitanicum, also known as the Portuguese sundew or dewy pine, is unusual even for carnivorous plants in that it lives in dry environments. Typically, carnivorous plants live in nutrient-poor wetlands, so does it really gain much from carnivory?
A new molecular mechanism reveals how plants keep their cool
How do plants adjust their body plan to cope with high-temperature stress?
