The notion that plant-based or cell-cultured meat will only ever capture a minority share of the conventional meat market is based on a false premise, says Impossible Foods, which is developing ...

Scientists have discovered how an enzyme "knows" where to insert a double bond when desaturating plant fatty acids. Understanding the mechanism may lead to new ways to engineer plant oils as a ...

Researchers at Purdue University and UC Davis have found that petunias cannot properly form reproductive structures without chemical signals delivered between different parts of the plant. The work ...

UPTON, NY—Plant biochemists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered a new level of regulation in the biochemical “machinery” that plants use to convert ...

State Key Laboratory of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry (SKLPPB) has the following research output in the current window (1 August 2024 - 31 July 2025) of the Nature Index. Click on Count to view a ...

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State University will use a $4.1 million grant from the National Science Foundation to unlock plants' biochemistry secrets. Using cultivated and wild tomato species from ...

Many plants, including crops, release volatiles in response to insect attack. The chemical compounds can be a defense or can be an aromatic call for help to attract enemies of the attacking insect.

We offer a research area focused on biochemistry in diverse environments: from water and soil to plants and even concrete! Students take three core biochemistry courses to ground their research and ...

When a caterpillar, or some other pesky herbivore, nibbles on a leaf, the plant starts sending danger signals to its furthest fronds. These signals can activate the plant’s defense mechanisms, such as ...

The roots of communication between plants lie in chemical secretions. The mechanisms of above-ground interactions on below-ground communications between neighboring plants. Credit: Elhakeem et al. A ...
