It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...
At first glance, plant and animal cells have a lot in common: they’re both highly organized, keep their DNA tucked away in an envelope, and are kinda juicy inside. But plant cells have evolved some ...
Chloroplasts, the parts of cells that allow plants and algae to photosynthesize, are thought to have originated more than 1 billion years ago, when photosynthetic cyanobacteria lived symbiotically ...
A group of researchers in Japan have made quite the breakthrough. According to a new study published in the Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, these scientists have created solar-powered ...

All animals, plants, and fungi on Earth can be traced back to a common ancestor: the Asgardians
Scientists have long puzzled over the origins of eukaryotes, the domain of life defined by cells with a membrane-bound nucleus, which includes all animals, plants, fungi, and insects. If they unravel ...
New research solves a mystery as to why mitochondria in some plants evolve faster than others. The University of Texas at Austin Evolution is a slow process occurring over many generations, but it can ...
DURHAM, N.C. -- The “deathbed rally,” the “last hurrah” -- it’s not unheard of for living things to mysteriously perk up in the moments before death. It turns out that plants do it too, at least at ...
Kimberley Simpson receives funding from the British Ecological Society and the Natural Environment Research Council. All living things have a blueprint provided by the DNA that is stored in every one ...
More than a billion years ago a hungry cell devoured a tiny blue-green alga. But instead of the former simply digesting the latter, the duo struck a remarkable evolutionary deal. Now scientists are ...
A mutant seedling revealed how plant tissues scatter incoming light, allowing plants to sense its direction and move toward it. On a shelf lined with terra cotta pots, herbs bend their stems toward ...
A newly revealed molecular tug-of-war may have implications for better understanding how a multitude of diseases and ...
