Jan. 24, 2024 Plants produce a range of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds that influence their interactions with the world around them. In a new study, researchers investigated how the type and amount ...
Mar. 7, 2022 Scientists helped discover a way to enhance tomato smell and taste. Scientists showed that five of the compounds are part of a biochemical pathway for synthesis of these important flavor ...
Feb. 18, 2022 Why have some plant species changed pollinators in their evolution? An international team of researchers studied the reproductive systems of three sister species pairs, where one species is ...
Sep. 12, 2023 Growing several plant varieties in the same field for disease resistance is a longstanding agricultural practice, but can have unpredictable results. A study suggests that plant-to-plant interactions ...
Mar. 29, 2021 Research into the flower preferences of pollinating moths may have delivered a vital clue to the simple factors needed for the emergence of new ...
Aug. 23, 2023 Many plants and crops rely on insects to pollinate them so they can reproduce. A new study has shown that several flowering plants from the group Euonymus are pollinated by fungus gnats, a dipteran ...
Oct. 19, 2022 The Laramie chickensage is unusual among the hundreds of species of sagebrush, most of which are primarily pollinated by the ...
Sep. 29, 2021 Clover plants grown in Mars-like soils experience significantly more growth when inoculated with symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria than when left uninoculated, researchers ...
June 9, 2022 When a plant community is exposed to drought, the different species undergo evolutionary changes. An international study with UZH participation now shows that this leads to improved resilience to ...
July 31, 2023 Researchers have identified a genetic sequence that is essential for plant reproduction. As this region is found in all plant species, it is expected to contribute to future crossbreeding initiatives ...
