Technology that transfers computer-generated information onto the physical world is being tested for use in poultry plants to improve communication between computers and workers. Using augmented ...

Researchers at Michigan State University have uncovered a surprising mechanism that plants use to regulate their growth — one ...

A study suggests a new model for how glutamate receptor-like proteins (GLRs) function in plant cells. Working with Arabidopsis thaliana pollen cells, the researchers found that GLRs form the basis of ...

Compounds emitted by trees, diterpenes, could have a previously unconsidered impact on the formation of particles in the ...

A photo of a cyst nematode's head viewed through a high-power microscope shows its esophageal glands, which produce effectors it uses to infect host plants. The image was digitally edited to highlight ...

Plant cells share a strange and surprising kinship with animal neurons: many plant cells have proteins that closely resemble glutamate receptors, which help to relay nerve signals from one neuron to ...
