Before I retired, I taught science to fourth graders in Midland’s gifted and talented program. As a scientist myself, I ...

A new study reveals that roots don’t just support plants - they absorb carbon dioxide too, changing how we understand plant ...

When I was little, my family measured how tall I was. They marked it on the wall. It was amazing to see how much I grew. I talked about how plants grow with Helmut Kirchhoff. He’s a scientist at ...

WASHINGTON — When scientists want to figure out how climate change might disrupt the world’s food supplies, they often explore how rising temperatures could shift growing seasons or how more frequent ...

Crops have already gone through aeons of evolution and millennia of human selection, so improving their growth even further isn’t easy. That’s where synthetic biology comes in: using engineering ...

Scientists have discovered that certain plants can survive stressful, dry conditions by controlling water loss through their leaves without relying on their usual mechanism - tiny pores known as ...

Australian researchers have created tiny compartments to help supercharge photosynthesis, potentially boosting wheat and rice ...

Artificial light-type plant factories are an emerging agricultural innovation that enables crops to be grown year-round in ...

A new, biomass-based material can be used to repeatedly capture and release carbon dioxide. The material is primarily made from lignin, an organic molecule that is a main component of wood and other ...

Scientists discovered that certain plants can survive stressful, dry conditions by controlling water loss through their leaves without relying on their usual mechanism -- tiny pores known as 'stomata' ...
