Learn about the Moon-Rice project, which aims to create rice crops that can grow in space and help keep astronauts healthy.

A plant called Arabidopsis thaliana has been studied widely for decades, favored by scientists for its compact, easy-to-grow nature. But scientists never noticed one of its organs, until now. ...

Arabidopsis may seem like a simple plant, but at the University of Missouri, plant biochemist Jay Thelen is using it as a ...

TurboID uncovers new meiotic proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2023 / 03 / 230313121018.htm ...

In the study, researchers planted the seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana — a plant related to mustard greens, as well as other cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli and cauliflower — in lunar ...

Tending a garden is hard work. Imagine it from the plants' perspective. Each relies on fine-tuned genetic processes to pass down accurate copies of chromosomes to future generations. These processes ...

Stanford researchers discovered how plant cells decide whether to form breathing pores based on size and neighbor signals.

A research team has discovered a previously unknown type of peptide that guides pollen tubes to ovules in Arabidopsis ...

Molecular genetic studies rely on well-characterized organisms that can be easily manipulated. Arabidopsis thaliana — the model system of choice for plant biologists — allows efficient ...

The study identified many proteins associated with the nuclear matrix in Arabidopsis thaliana. Among them are well-known nuclear matrix proteins, including AtSUN1, AtSUN2, and AHL22, along with ...
