Agriculture, from the outset, has been made possible by humans tweaking the genes of plants to make them grow faster, produce ...

Australian researchers have discovered that the TAK1 gene helps cancer cells survive attack from the immune system, revealing ...

A research team has identified a key gene from the rubber tree that helps plants better defend themselves against both disease and environmental stress by precisely controlling reactive oxygen species ...

Using proteins from a common tobacco plant virus, McGill chemistry researchers have developed a simple, eco-friendly way to arrange gold nanoparticles into ultrathin sheets, strengthening the ...

When a nasty bug infects a cell, the cell sends out riders called interferons that, like Paul Revere, warn the other cells: A virus is coming! A virus is coming! Interferons bind to receptors on the ...

Gold nanoparticles are only effective in strengthening optical signals when the nanoparticles are arranged on a surface and spaced at exact distances. Until now, creating those patterns required harsh ...

Different teams need to make the same conclusion multiple times before a consensus is reached and the finding can be built upon or applied. More may rest on the tools researchers use than previously ...

Goldenberries taste like a cross between pineapple and mango, pack the nutritional punch of a superfood, and are increasingly popular in U.S. grocery stores. But the plants that produce these bright ...
