New techniques in plant chloroplast division hold hope for agriculture
Ground-breaking research at the University of Leicester into the division of chloroplasts holds out hope of a safer way of genetically modifying crops, with implications for agriculture particularly in the developing world. Using three plant types - Arabidopsis, tomato and rice - Dr Simon Geir M'¸ller has been working with colleagues in the... view more... (2003-01-20)
Climate change opens new avenue for spread of invasive plants
Plants that range northward because of climate change may be better at defending themselves against local enemies than native plants. view more (2008-11-20)
MIT's pint-sized car engine promises high efficiency, low cost
MIT researchers are developing a half-sized gasoline engine that performs like its full-sized cousin but offers fuel efficiency approaching that of today's hybrid engine system-at a far lower cost. view more (2006-10-30)
How Increased UV Exposure Impacts Plants
As the first plant life to emerge from the water and develop on dry earth, bryophytes offer a unique opportunity for researchers to understand the development of protections against ultraviolet radiation. view more (2009-03-10)
Woody and aquatic plants pose greatest invasive threat to China
Although China currently has fewer invasive woody plants than the United States, China's potential for invasion by nonnative trees and shrubs is high, according to an article in the May 2008 issue of BioScience. view more (2008-05-01)
UCLA researchers develop new method for producing transparent conductors
Researchers at UCLA have developed a new method for producing a hybrid graphene-carbon nanotube, or G-CNT, for potential use as a transparent conductor in solar cells and consumer electronic devices. view more (2009-05-14)
APL regulates vascular tissue identity in Arabidopsis
Plants have a conductive tissue, phloem, for transporting sugars and hormones to non-green parts after photosynthesis. Phloem has two basic cell types, enucleate sieve elements (SE) and companion cells (CC). Scientists from the University of Helsinki have developmentally analyzed the process of phloem development in Arabidopsis plant and... view more... (2003-11-13)
Pioneer and Devgen to collaborate on pest resistance research
Devgen has announced a research collaboration with Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., a subsidiary of DuPont, to develop crop varieties with increased resistance to plant pests. view more (2004-09-14)
Nitrogen research shows how some plants invade, take over others
Biologists know that when plants battle for space, often the actual battle is for getting the nitrogen. view more (2009-07-07)
Plant pathologists call for more data to support pre-harvest food safety interventions
In meetings with USDA, FDA, NSF, EPA, the Office of Management and Budget, and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy last week, key leaders from The American Phytopathological Society (APS) Public Policy Board (PPB) addressed concerns related to human pathogens on plants and noted that significantly more research is needed to... view more...

Getting plants to rid themselves of pesticide residues
Scientists in China are reporting the "intriguing" discovery that a natural plant hormone, applied to crops, can help plants eliminate residues of certain pesticides. view more (2009-09-10)
Mopping up mercury - a new solution to an old problem
A pilot plant employing a new type of bioreactor has successfully been used to treat mercury-contaminated wastewater in Germany. Dr Irene Wagner-Döbler and colleagues from the GBF National Research Centre for Biotechnology, Germany, developed the technical scale plant based on previous work on mercury-resistant bacteria. Biofilms of bacteria... view more... (2001-04-01)
Internal Clock, External Light Regulate Plant Growth
Most plants and animals show changes in activity over a 24-hour cycle. Now, for the first time, researchers have shown how a plant combines signals from its internal clock with those from the environment to show a daily rhythm of growth. view more (2007-07-10)
The shape of allergy - what makes an allergen an allergen
An enduring mystery for allergy researchers has been the unpredictable distribution of allergens in plants. For example, being allergic to birch pollen can predispose a person to allergy from distantly related plant foods such as celery, apple or soy. view more (2005-01-07)
Molecular imaging enables earlier, individualized treatment of thyroid cancer
In a study to determine the diagnostic value of molecular imaging in nodal staging of patients with thyroid cancer, researchers were able for the first time to accurately distinguish between cancerous cells in regional lymph nodes and normal residual thyroid tissue directly after surgery. view more (2009-01-05)
In evolutionary arms race, a bacterium is found that outwits tomato plant's defenses, Cornell study finds
An arms race is under way in the plant world. It is an evolutionary battle in which plants are trying to beef up their defenses against the innovative strategies of pathogens. view more (2007-07-19)
Food safety begins as vegetables grow
Monitoring vegetables while they are growing is crucial in the prevention of contamination of fresh produce with harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella, say plant pathologists who are members of The American Phytopathological Society (APS). view more (2007-06-12)
Being green doesn't make a plant environmentally friendly â€" Microbiology Today: May 2005 issue
Britain's gardens are under threat from new species of microbes introduced on exotic plants, according to an article in the May 2005 issue of Microbiology Today, the quarterly magazine of the Society for General Microbiology. view more (2005-04-26)
Plant protein 'doorkeepers' block invading microbes, study finds
A group of plant proteins that "shut the door" on bacteria that would otherwise infect the plant's leaves has been identified for the first time by a team of researchers in Denmark, at the University of California, Davis, and at UC Berkeley. view more (2009-06-29)
Mileage from megawatts: Study finds enough electric capacity to "fill up" plug-in vehicles across much of the nation
If all the cars and light trucks in the nation switched from oil to electrons, idle capacity in the existing electric power system could generate most of the electricity consumed by plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. view more (2006-12-12)
