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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
