A silencing signal in plants with an RNA specificity determinant moves through plasmodesmata and the phloem. To identify the mobile RNA, we grafted Arabidopsis thaliana shoots to roots that would be a ...

Purdue professor Stanton Gelvin sits next to Arabidopsis seedlings in his laboratory. A team led by Gelvin identified a gene that could be the key to faster and easier genetic modification of plants ...

Scientists are experimenting with new genetic modification technology that “supercharges” plants to enhance what they already excel at– sequestering carbon. As the world scrambles to find innovative ...

Researchers have revealed a previously unknown way plants shape their growth in response to light — a breakthrough that could better equip crops to handle environmental stress. In a first-of-its-kind ...

JSE- and ASX-listed Coal of Africa Limited (CoAL) announced last week that it had appointed mineral processing and associated infrastructure solutions company Sedgman South Africa to undertake the ...

In an ideal world, industrial plant managers, fearing that their company's toxic emissions might endanger the health of their families and neighbors, would install the best pollution controls they ...
