Plants constantly juggle oxygen inside their cells, but scientists have now discovered a surprising twist in how that balance works. Researchers at the University of Helsinki found that ...

A new study from the University of Helsinki reveals how plant mitochondria draw molecular oxygen away from chloroplasts, an ...

Scientists discovered that mitochondria inside plant cells can pull oxygen away from chloroplasts, revealing a hidden mechanism that may help plants adapt to stress.

Scientists are looking to plant tissues that are capable of motion to inspire the design and fabrication of artificial actuators. These bioinspired actuators hold significant potential in applications ...

This Research Topic is centered on the complex physiological processes plants undergo when responding to stress, which often occur at the organ and tissue levels. Traditionally, the focus has been on ...

A mutant seedling revealed how plant tissues scatter incoming light, allowing plants to sense its direction and move toward it. On a shelf lined with terra cotta pots, herbs bend their stems toward ...

In areas where freshwater is scarce, farmers often turn to treated wastewater to irrigate crops. And many regulators and ...

Researchers have successfully uncovered the molecular mechanisms by which bacterial cellulose patches stimulate the regeneration of plant wounds. The regeneration process requires the activation of ...
