Matching gene expression to metabolite production in single plant cells

A research team at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology has successfully combined single-cell RNA sequencing ...

Growing transgenic plants in weeks instead of months by hijacking a plant's natural regeneration abilities

Plant biologists have developed a method for growing transgenic and gene-edited plants that cuts the slow and expensive ...

Engineered E. coli use direct, cell-to-cell contact to grow into new structures

Plant a seed and, if the conditions are right, the seed grows. The process seems simple enough at first glance and is something many of us may feel like we learned in elementary school.

Plant microbial fuel cells can generate electricity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in soils

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology has received considerable attention in the field of wastewater treatment over the past decade. This technology can simultaneously generate electricity and treat ...
