Water deficit resistance in plants has long been a topic of interest for cultivating reliable crops. Some plants can alter their above-ground structure to lock in moisture, while others develop deep, ...

UC Davis plant biologists have resolved the structure of proteins vital to energy production in mung beans. Understanding these proteins gives insight into basic plant biology, stress responses, and ...

Cells are the smallest unit of life and the building blocks for all organisms. Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell ...

Launched this winter, the Data-Driven Plant Science course bridges experimental biology with embedded sensing, bioinformatics, and machine learning.

Hormones promote growth within plants. Plant hormones are unequally distributed throughout the stems and roots, which results in parts of the plant growing in a particular direction. In this video, ...

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 ...
