About 200 researchers from around the world attended the Third International Conference on Plant Vascular Biology (PVB 2013) held in July 2013 at the Rantapuisto ...

A new study has discovered how early plants emerged from their watery habitats to grow on land through changes to their vascular systems. The earliest land plants were small -- just a few centimeters ...

[Ben Krasnow] has a knack for showing us what’s inside of things while they’re moving. This week’s Applied Science experiment has him making time-lapse X-ray videos of things. This plant’s vascular ...

The tallest plants alive today can grow to over 100 meters tall. But they evolved from ancestors that were just a few centimeters high. Exactly how they got so big is uncertain, but new research on a ...

Plants rely on efficient internal transport systems to distribute essential mineral nutrients, yet how this distribution is ...

What do you get when a Bates biology professor joins a paleobotanist, hydrologist, plant physiologist, and plant anatomist in a research project? You get the answer to a question that has long vexed ...

Plant researchers and bioinformatics researchers have succeeded for the first time in identifying the functions of the different cell types in the leaf vasculature of plants. The leaf vasculature of ...

Researchers led by Núria Sánchez-Coll, CSIC researcher at the Centre for Research in Agricultural Genomics (CRAG), have characterized for the first time the function of AtMC3, a protein of the ...
