Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology and the University of Kiel have provided experimental evidence ...

The Secret Language of Plant Stress Signals When plants face stress, they activate a signaling cascade involving multiple ...

Imagine if a plant in a farmer's field could warn a grower that it needs water? Or if a farmer could signal to plants that dry weather lies ahead, thereby prompting the plants to conserve water? It ...

Plants mobilize their immune defenses far earlier than scientists have believed for decades—and through a previously ...
