New research has found when plant leaves physically touch each other, they seem to form a biological signalling network to ...
Researchers investigated the molecular basis of plant-plant interactions mediated by VOCs, aiming to develop alternatives to chemical pest control for agricultural and horticultural applications.
Paco Calvo, a researcher at Spain’s University of Murcia, is on a mission. According to New Scientist, he’s attempting to build a solid scientific framework for understanding “plant neurobiology,” ...
Researchers who manipulate lignin, a molecular fiber that allows plants to grow tall and transport water, unexpectedly discovered its synthesis has more far-reaching effects on plant development than ...

The more we study forests, the more it seems like plants might be cooperating and talking to each other
To the naked eye, a forest is a quiet place, and the trees are the quietest. However, researchers like Dr. Richard Karban, a formally trained ecologist and member of the UC Davis Entomology Department ...
David Kuchta, Ph.D. has 10 years of experience in gardening and has read widely in environmental history and the energy transition. An environmental activist since the 1970s, he is also a historian, ...
MANY people have seen the way a Mimosa pudica plant, also called the touch-me-not, folds its leaves when they are touched. Fewer know that if you put one into a sealed chamber with a dose of ...
Plants are constantly sending chemical messages into the air and soil around them. These invisible signals can summon pollinators, warn neighbors of herbivores, or repel attackers. But new research ...
