A new study from the University of Helsinki reveals how plant mitochondria draw molecular oxygen away from chloroplasts, an ...

In areas where freshwater is scarce, farmers often turn to treated wastewater to irrigate crops. And many regulators and ...

Scientists discovered that mitochondria inside plant cells can pull oxygen away from chloroplasts, revealing a hidden mechanism that may help plants adapt to stress.

Plants constantly juggle oxygen inside their cells, but scientists have now discovered a surprising twist in how that balance works. Researchers at the University of Helsinki found that ...

Crops irrigated with treated wastewater can absorb pharmaceuticals, but most of the chemicals accumulate in plant leaves ...

Scientists discovered that crops exposed to trace pharmaceuticals in recycled water mostly stash the compounds in their leaves—not the parts we usually eat.

A new study finds crops irrigated with treated wastewater can absorb trace pharmaceuticals such as antidepressants and ...

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 ...
