Newswise — EAST LANSING, Mich. – As global temperatures rise, it’s imperative that plants can adapt to new and changing conditions. Michigan State University researchers from the Walker lab are ...
Infecting a maize plant is no simple task for a fungal pathogen such as Ustilago maydis. A group of researchers led by ...
Many naturally occurring molecules such as menthol or limonene exist in two mirror-image forms, known as enantiomers, that look almost identical but can differ greatly in smell, taste or effect on the ...
Plants’ Double-Headed Defenders: How Multifunctional Enzyme Inhibitors Could Reshape Crop Protection
A new review in Plant Molecular Biology defines plant multifunctional inhibitors as a distinct class of double-headed defense proteins and maps their evolution, structures, and potential for ...
Scientists have discovered that a protein responsible for the synthesis of a key plant material evolved much earlier than suspected. This new research explored the origin and evolution of the ...
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have created a new enzyme and demonstrated its potential ability to interfere with the production of lignin, a key ...
