Plant receptors that regulate growth, immunity have common origin: Study
Updated : 2 years, 1 month ago IST
As in animals, plants have immune responses that help them defend against pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. Before invaders can be stopped, they must first be detected, and this is accomplished by pattern recognition receptors located on the surface of plant cells

Study finds regulation of photosynthesis under changing light conditions
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Plants are commonly grown in controlled lighting environments for research purposes, which does not mimic real-world conditions. Researchers revealed the significance of two key proteins for the dynamic control of photosynthesis in a series of experiments with changing light conditions, simu

Microbial enzymes are the key to pectin digestion in leaf beetles: Researc
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 9 (ANI): A research team shows in a new study how leaf beetles could successfully use new and previously indigestible food sources in the course of evolution. The insects acquired enzymes from microorganisms via horizontal gene transfer that enabled them to degrade p

Study finds what makes plant cell walls both strong and extensible
Updated : 4 years, 10 months ago IST
Washington [US], May 15 (ANI): A plant cell wall's unique ability to expand without weakening or breaking- a quality required for plant growth- is due to the movement of its cellulose skeleton, according to new research Penn State researchers that modelled the cell wall.
