What is chemical communication in plants? Plants rely on chemical signals to communicate with each other and themselves. Some of these chemicals are volatile (known as volatile organic compounds--VOCs ...
Traffic lights signal to cars and buses when to stop, slow and go. Much like traffic lights, plant cells send signals to each other to perform photosynthesis to grow or fight off destructive viruses ...
Scientists have puzzled for years in understanding how plants pass signals of stress, due to lack of water or salinity, from chloroplast to nuclei. They know that chloroplasts—the cellular organelles ...

Researchers at Purdue University and UC Davis have found that petunias cannot properly form reproductive structures without chemical signals delivered between different parts of the plant. The work ...
The DNA transfer method shown involves using a syringe to inject a specific species of bacterium into the petunia stigma to activate targeted genes, then isolating the resulting proteins. Credit: ...
Researchers at the University of Toronto have cracked the code of plant-to-fungi communication in a new study published in the journal Molecular Cell. Using baker's yeast, the researchers discovered ...
Why it matters: Since the 1980s, it's been known that plants possess defense mechanisms that operate through the air. Recently, a team of Japanese researchers has not only demonstrated but also ...
In an interdisciplinary study, researchers discovered that symbiotic bacteria communicate with legume plants through specific molecules and that this communication influences which bacteria grow near ...
Vesna Bacheva, a postdoctoral associate in CROPPS, tests part of a prototype system designed to detect a stress response in a gene-encoded reporter plant. Credit: Cornell University Vesna Bacheva, a ...
