Water-conserving irrigation strategies minimize overwatering, runoff
Conserving water and reducing the environmental impact of runoff are two of the most important issues confronting container nursery operations. Current regulations and laws in five states limit water consumption by container nurseries, and some states also limit nutrient concentrations in runoff. view more (2009-11-05)
Ecosystems with many plant species produce more and survive threats better
Ecosystems containing many different plant species are not only more productive, they are better able to withstand and recover from climate extremes, pests and disease over long periods, according to a new study. view more (2006-06-01)
New screening method to help find better biofuel crops
In the face of skyrocketing gasoline prices, ethanol has become a hot commodity along with the corn used to make it. Researchers at the US DOE's Ames Laboratory have developed a method to screen other more cost effective and sustainable crops to produce ethanol. view more (2007-06-06)
Scientists genetically engineer tomatoes with enhanced folate content
Leafy greens and beans aren't the only foods that pack a punch of folate, the vitamin essential for a healthy start to pregnancy. view more (2007-03-07)
ISU researchers study insecticide-free method for control of soybean aphids
Two Iowa State University researchers are examining a new method of controlling soybean aphids without the use of chemical pesticides. view more (2009-09-16)
Important gene controlling tree growth and development found
Scientists at the UmeĆå Plant Science Centre (UPSC) and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) report today about a breakthrough in our understanding of how the growth and development of forest trees is controlled. view more (2006-05-05)
Tropical plants go with the flow ... of nitrogen
Tropical plants are able to adapt to environmental change by extracting nitrogen from a variety of sources, according to a new study that appears in the May 7 early online edition of The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2007-05-08)
John Innes Centre scientist receives two prestigious honours
The John Innes Centre (1) is pleased to announce that one of its senior scientists, Professor Caroline Dean (2), has received two prestigious honours in the last two weeks. Two weeks ago Professor Dean was made a Fellow of the Royal Society and has now been awarded an OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours list. "We are delighted that Caroline's... view more...

Shredding corn silage could produce more ethanol at less cost
A Purdue University researcher has found a way to get more bang for fewer bucks when it comes to processing cellulosic material to make ethanol. view more (2009-02-24)
Plant Communication: Sagebrush Engage in Self-Recognition and Warn of Danger
"To thine own self be true" may take on a new meaning-not with people or animal behavior but with plant behavior. view more (2009-06-22)
Researchers examine bacterial rice diseases, search for genetic solutions
As a major food source for much of the world, rice is one of the most important plants on earth. view more (2009-04-02)
Plant Microbe Shares Features with Drug-Resistant Pathogen
An international team of scientists has discovered extensive similarities between a strain of bacteria commonly associated with plants and one increasingly linked to opportunistic infections in hospital patients. view more (2009-06-17)
Annuals converted into perennials
Annual crops grow, blossom and die within one year. Perennials overwinter and grow again the following year. The life strategy of many annuals consists of rapid growth following germination and rapid transition to flower and seed formation, thus preventing the loss of energy needed to create permanent structures. view more (2008-11-10)
Tree of life for flowering plants reveals relationships among major groups
The evolutionary Tree of Life for flowering plants has been revealed using the largest collection of genomic data of these plants to date, report scientists from The University of Texas at Austin and University of Florida. view more (2007-11-27)
New hope for horse lovers as effective control for killer ragwort is proposed
Scientists propose developing an environmentally-friendly fungal spray that would specifically target Ragwort, infecting and killing the weed at a critical growth stage. view more (2007-10-11)
A new plant-bacterial symbiotic mechanism promising for crop applications
The growth of most plants depends on the presence of sufficient amounts of nitrogen contained in the soil. However, a family of plants, the legumes, is partially free of this constraint thanks to its ability to live in association with soil bacteria of the Rhizobium, genus, capable of fixing nitrogen from the air. view more (2007-06-06)
Genetic differences in clover make one type toxic
That clover necklace you make for your child could well be a ring of poison. That's because some clovers have evolved genes that help the plant produce cyanide - to protect itself against little herbivores, such as snails, slugs and voles, that eat clover. view more (2007-10-02)
Predicting growth hormone treatment success
Growth hormone treatments work better on some children than on others, but judging which candidates will gain those vital inches in height is no simple task. view more (2007-12-13)
Plant pathologists address next steps in combating soybean rust
In response to the discovery of soybean rust in the U.S., plant pathologists are offering an opportunity to learn more about this disease at a symposium held during the annual meeting of The American Phytopathological Society (APS), July 30 - August 3, 2005 in Austin, TX. view more (2005-06-23)
Plant diseases threaten chocolate production worldwide
Chocolate lovers, beware. Each year 20 percent of the cacao beans that are used to make chocolate are lost to plant diseases, but even greater losses would occur if important diseases spread. view more (2006-06-06)
