[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 ...

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 ...

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

Vascular plants that moved back into the water did not simply shed complexity and shrink their genomes. New genomic work shows that many aquatic lineages instead rewire and expand key gene families, ...

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