Arabidopsis thaliana plants produce beta-cyclocitral when attacked by herbivores. This volatile signal inhibits the MEP pathway which is instrumental in plant growth processes, such as the production ...

Despite their fundamental differences, plants, animals, and fungi share certain metabolic processes. Biologists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced naturally during cellular metabolism often cause oxidative damage to cells. However, ...

Researchers at The Australian National University (ANU) have uncovered a mechanism that helps plants continue ...

Oil refineries are among the most complicated dynamical structures, requiring smooth, effective and safe operation to continuously produce high quality products at competitive costs. Extremely ...

Based on new analyses of satellite data, scientists have found that hydrologic conditions that increase flash drought risk occur more often than current models predict. The research also shows that ...

Plant recruitment is a multi-stage process determining population dynamics and species distributions. Still, we have limited understanding of how the successive demographic processes depend on the ...

This month, René Floris, NIZO Food Research Division Manager and FoodNavigator advisory panel member, asks Ruud Heshof, Senior Project Manager at NZIO, about the journey to prove the viability of a ...

In a new study in PNAS, an international team of researchers including scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology has shown that Arabidopsis thaliana plants produce beta-cyclocitral ...
