Shift of Weather Patterns Necessitates Rethinking of Reforestation Methods
Forest landowners can greatly increase the survival rate of pine tree seedlings by changing when and how they plant, according to research conducted here. view more (2005-05-27)
Root Beer May Be "Safest" Soft Drink for Teeth
Exposing teeth to soft drinks, even for a short period of time, causes dental erosion—and prolonged exposure can lead to significant enamel loss. Root beer products, however, are non-carbonated and do not contain the acids that harm teeth. view more (2007-03-21)
Salk scientists get to the root of plant cell fate
When Robert Burns compared his love to a red, red rose, he definitely wasn't referring to a topless mutant. That's because rather than being topped by a lovely, fragrant bloom, a rose mutant in the gene known as TOPLESS would be crowned by a homely second root. view more (2006-06-09)
Yam bean a nearly forgotten crop
The Yam bean originated where the Andes meet the Amazon and is locally grown in South and Central America, South Asia, East Asia and the Pacific. view more (2007-09-17)
'Pregnant' protein-coding genes carry RNA 'babies'
Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have performed a comprehensive analysis of small, non-protein-coding RNAs in the model nematode, C. elegans. view more (2006-01-10)
Researchers identify proteins making up mechanosensitive ion channels
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are the first to identify two proteins responsible for mechanosensitive ion channel activities in plant roots. Scientists have long known that plant cells respond to physical forces. Until now, however, the proteins controlling the ion channel response remained a mystery. view more (2008-06-03)
Disease damages wheat roots, thwarts water uptake
Alterations in irrigation schedules may be needed when wheat streak mosaic infection is suspected in winter wheat crops, according to a Texas Agricultural Experiment Station researcher in Amarillo. view more (2006-03-02)
Secret of Worm's Poison Pill Box Protein Could Produce New Natural Insecticide
Researchers at the University of Warwick have discovered how a protein from a bacterium acts like a cunningly designed poison pill box that could now be used as a basis of a new range of natural insecticides. view more (2007-03-13)
A Bacterial Genome Reveals Targets to Combat Disease: Press Release from PLoS Biology
A bacterial genome reveals new targets to combat infectious disease view more (2005-03-22)
Oh, brother, it's true: Plants can recognize their siblings and now we know how
Plants may not have eyes and ears, but they can recognize their siblings, and researchers at the University of Delaware have discovered how. view more (2009-10-15)
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)
Essential dental treatment safe for pregnant women, says ADA journal study
Pregnant women can safely undergo essential dental treatment and receive topical and local anesthetics at 13 to 21 weeks gestation, says a study published in the June issue of The Journal of the American Dental Association. view more (2008-06-11)
Could 'hairy roots' become biofactories?
Rice University bioengineers have reported an advance in tapping the immense potential of "hairy roots" as natural factories to produce medicines, food flavorings and other commercial products. view more (2007-10-31)
The roots of civilization trace back to ... roots
About five to seven million years ago, when the lineage of humans and chimpanzees split, edible root plants similar to rutabagas and turnips may have been one of the reasons. view more (2005-09-19)
New 'biofactories' produce rare healing substances in the endangered Devil's claw plant
Deep in Africa's Kalahari Desert lies the "Devil's claw," a plant that may hold the key to effective treatments for arthritis, tendonitis and other illnesses that affect millions each year. view more (2009-08-17)
U.S. Air Force Technology Helps Scientists Understand Plant Root Function
The McClellan Nuclear Radiation Center (MNRC) in Sacramento, CA was developed by the U.S. Air Force to detect corrosion and defects in aircraft structure using an imaging technique called neutron radiography. This technique is currently helping soil scientists understand the function of plant roots and their uptake of water and nutrients. view more (2008-09-09)
Rhododendron expansion may increase the chance of landslides on Southern Appalachian slopes
Research by U.S. Forest Service Southern Research Station (SRS) scientists and partners suggests that the expansion of rosebay rhododendron (Rhododendron maximum) in Southern Appalachian mountain hollows may increase the likelihood of landslides during and after intense rain events. view more (2009-08-31)
Can a plant be altruistic?
The concept of altruism has long been debated in philosophical circles, and more recently, evolutionary biologists have joined the debate. view more (2009-11-11)
Tree survival skills
Consider the cumulative stresses that transplanted trees must endure from the time they are harvested until they become established in a landscape. view more (2009-05-04)
Penn researchers engineer first system of human nerve-cell tissue
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have demonstrated that living human nerve cells can be engineered into a network that could one day be used for transplants to repair damaged to the nervous system. They report their findings in the February issue of the Journal of Neurosurgery. view more (2008-02-27)
