Plants produce an astonishing variety of chemical substances. Most of these metabolites are involved in chemical ...

When sunlight shining on a leaf changes rapidly, plants must protect themselves from the ensuing sudden surges of solar energy. To cope with these changes, photosynthetic organisms have developed ...

Moran also discovered a gene in the sea anemone, HYL-1, which is essential for the microRNA biogenesis in plants and was never detected in any other animal model organism before.

Plants appeared on Earth 100 million years earlier than scientists previously thought. The evolution of plant life on Earth is fundamental to the history of our planet. It has provided resources and ...

Evo is a large language model that is not trained on words but on the genomes of millions of microbes. It can accurately predict the effects of mutations.

New research from Northern Arizona University points to the idea that, under some conditions, plants can "curate" their ...

Animal and plant cells can be visualised using a model. Find out how to make them with Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

Neurologists have the roundworm. These are model organisms: plants and animals that scientists in each of these fields study to make sense of almost all other plants and animals in the world.

The majority of living organisms (micro-organisms, plants and animals) have the ability to determine the origin of a light source, even in the absence of a sight organ comparable to the eye.
