When plants take in too much energy, they don’t get fat — they lighten up. They absorb more sunlight than they need to power photosynthesis, and they get rid of the excess solar energy by emitting it ...

A professor of plant molecular biology wants people to know that plants have stem cells too. Just like in the medical world, plant stem cells could support human growth and development when used to ...

It happens without warning: a once-thriving plant suddenly freezes in its tracks. Leaves stop stretching, stems stall, and ...
