University of Queensland researchers have for the first time introduced genetic material into plants via their roots, opening ...

To plan for the future, it's sometimes necessary to look to the past. To improve natural history collection and analysis in ...

Shady areas in landscapes and gardens require plants that need or tolerate shade. If you need ideas, attend the class “Some ...

A Stanford-led study has identified key genetic pathways in corn that help its roots branch out to find water in soil; the varieties adapted to temperate regions like the U.S. corn belt showed large ...

The ideal time of year to propagate stem cuttings depends on the species, and usually, woody plants root best in soil or potting mix rather than in water. Dipping the fresh-cut end in rooting ...

The lack of gravity precludes plants’ roots from growing downwards, in addition to making nutrient delivery a difficult task. Since water tends to cling to any surface it touches in microgravity, when ...
