Water scarcity is projected to intensify across many major agricultural regions in the coming decades. According to the World Resources Institute, by 2040 more than one third of global cropland is ...

With the timsTOF Ultra, researchers can now dive into single-cell metabolomics in plants, offering a clearer, more detailed look at how alkaloids are made and where they’re coming from.

New research solves a mystery as to why mitochondria in some plants evolve faster than others. The University of Texas at Austin Evolution is a slow process occurring over many generations, but it can ...

More than a billion years ago a hungry cell devoured a tiny blue-green alga. But instead of the former simply digesting the latter, the duo struck a remarkable evolutionary deal. Now scientists are ...
