Gene regulator that allows plant rehydration after drought

New genetic insights into the plant rehydration process: this is why your plants don’t die after you forgot to water them.

Scientists have decoded the genomes of two species of shark, bringing the grand total of sequenced shark genomes to three.

Scientists show that two epigenetic factors improve the success rate of cloning via somatic cell nuclear transfer.

Scientists designed transgenic plants that survive drought-like conditions by bumping up acetic acid production only when water is scarce.

Scientists have discovered a gene that allows plants to cope with extreme heat by changing the composition of chloroplast membranes.

Blue light alters some gene expression in plants by changing the transcription start sites to downstream locations.
