A research team in Korea has discovered a method to allow crops to remain productive even in adverse or unpredictable weather ...

· Better growth, better results: Every cell type has its ideal pH — mammalian cells prefer about 7.4, while many plant cells ...

A research team from Korea have uncovered how plants rapidly activate a hidden genetic “switch” helping them survive in cold ...

A new method uses the auxin-inducible degron (AID) system to tune protein levels with precision in living C. elegans.

Mango growers know the sound of loss: the soft thud of immature fruit hitting the ground long before it has a chance to ...

Researchers have found a way to control protein levels inside different tissues of a whole, living animal for the first time.
