How do the different parts of an adult plant communicate with each other when it suffers an injury, is waterlogged, burnt or ...
Plants communicate through volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that help them respond to herbivorous pest attacks. This review explored the mechanisms behind these plant communications and their ...
Researchers have cracked the code of plant-to-fungi communication in a new study. Using baker's yeast, the researchers discovered that the plant hormone strigolactone (SL) activates fungal genes and ...
New research has found when plant leaves physically touch each other, they seem to form a biological signalling network to ...
Students at Spelman College have developed an artificial intelligence system that allows anyone to communicate verbally with ...
Pamela Medina van Berkum collects volatile organic compounds from communities and individual plants in the field at the Jena Experiment field site (https://the-jena-experiment.de/). In her experiments ...
A photo of a cyst nematode's head viewed through a high-power microscope shows its esophageal glands, which produce effectors it uses to infect host plants. The image was digitally edited to highlight ...
Researchers investigated the molecular basis of plant-plant interactions mediated by VOCs, aiming to develop alternatives to chemical pest control for agricultural and horticultural applications.
