A Johns Hopkins engineer co-led a team that has sequenced the genome of the world's most widely used model plant species, Arabidopsis thaliana, at a level of detail never previously achieved. Up until ...

Plants with more complex water transport structures are more resistant to drought conditions, making them more likely to survive and pass this characteristic on to their offspring. That’s the ...

Scientists are using artificial intelligence software to analyze plant root systems, laying out a protocol that can be applied to gather data on crop and model plant phenotypes (physical ...

Diagnosing plant disease is essential to meet the world’s growing food demand, which is expected to increase with a population of 9.1 billion by 2050. Diseases can reduce crop yields by 20-40% , so ...

Plants rely on efficient internal transport systems to distribute essential mineral nutrients, yet how this distribution is spatially organized within complex plant structures remains poorly ...
