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

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

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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Plants have a sophisticated mechanism for monitoring the production of new proteins. The U1 snRNP complex ensures that the protein blueprints are fully completed. This is important because cells tend ...

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 ...
