Salk Institute scientists have created the first single cell genomic atlas of mature plants' outer armor layer, called the periderm, and its carbon-capturing phellem cells. The findings will be useful ...

According to the United Nations, soil salinization affects between 20% and 40% of arable land globally, with human activity ...

Plants may burrow into the ground and stretch toward the sun, but they're ultimately stuck where they sprout—at the mercy of ...

Salk scientists have created a new atlas of plant cells during immune response, in turn discovering a new rare cell state, called Primary IMmunE Responder (PRIMER), that acts as an immune response hub ...

Then they figured out why it was so susceptible to cadmium poisoning. "Normal Arabidopsis plants protect themselves by linking the toxic metal to a peptide once it's inside the plant," Goldsbrough ...

To compensate for their inability to up and move when danger strikes, many plants have evolved ways to protect themselves by altering their physiology, such as building armor around parts of their ...
