Biologists at Indiana University Bloomington have shown that the surfaces of plant leaves are coated with a diverse array of RNA molecules. The finding suggests that the RNA present on the leaf ...
The intricate dynamics of RNA biology in plant interactions with biotic factors, including both microbes and insects, have a major impact on plant health and productivity. Understanding the molecular ...

Plants are constantly on guard. Their roots are equipped with molecular alarm systems that detect invading microbes and ...
Univeristy of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) scientist Ana Maria Vélez is pioneering a genetic treatment to contain western corn rootworm. The research seeks to contain agricultural pests by targeting ...
Plants need an internal communication system to coordinate their development and growth. Within a plant, cells message each other with pieces of RNA. A professor discovered a protein that carries ...
RNA reveals plants' real-time biological response to stress, which occurs long before conventional tools detect problems, ...
The discovery of RNAi dates back to the 1990s when researchers observed unexpected gene silencing in plants and fungi. In 1998, Andrew Fire and Craig Mello published a groundbreaking study ...
How does a developing plant shoot know how, where, and when to grow? Dividing cells need to pass messages from one another to coordinate growth. In plants, important messages are packaged into RNA, ...
