A rare fossil plant reveals how early plants moved water and food, helping to explain the secrets of tree growth.

Vascular plants that moved back into the water did not simply shed complexity and shrink their genomes. New genomic work ...

The tallest plants alive today can grow to over 100 meters tall. But they evolved from ancestors that were just a few ...

[Ben Krasnow] has a knack for showing us what’s inside of things while they’re moving. This week’s Applied Science experiment has him making time-lapse X-ray videos of things. This plant’s vascular ...

Plant researchers and bioinformatics researchers have succeeded for the first time in identifying the functions of the different cell types in the leaf vasculature of plants. The leaf vasculature of ...

Researchers led by Núria Sánchez-Coll, CSIC researcher at the Centre for Research in Agricultural Genomics (CRAG), have characterized for the first time the function of AtMC3, a protein of the ...

Plant scientists have identified a protein that plays a previously unknown role in controlling cell differentiation and determining gender in vascular plants, using a fern model. The discovery ...

How certain is the continued survival of animal and plant species? How high is the risk that they might become extinct? The answers are collated in regional, national and global threat assessments; ...
