Engineered petunia emits a continuous green glow thanks to genes from a light-up mushroom.

Angiosperm flowers reached their greatest morphological diversity early in their evolutionary history

The study marks the first time researchers have been able to “visualize plant-to-plant communication,” the senior author of the study said.

Given the lack of genetic diversity in the farmed crop, the race is on to preserve wild macadamia trees to improve traits like disease resistance, size and climate adaptability.

Honeybees are one of the most common pollinators. But their flower-visiting habits make it harder for some plants to produce good seeds.

Thanks to CRISPR, farmers may finally have a good defense against rice blast, a fungal disease so devastating, it’s known as the “cancer of rice.”

New species named Pinanga subterranea as Kew botanists admit they have no idea how its flowers are pollinated

They tend backyards brimming with cactus varieties, consuming the produce. Prudence Gibson meets a hidden group of gardeners and ponders the allure – and – danger of psychoactive plants.

Data from 123 sites across all continents, including Antarctica, show mosses affect all major soil functions critical for sustaining life on Earth.

A flower's ability to mimic the sexually attractive traits of pollinators to lure them to its nectar has long fascinated scientists.

Use the five best plant identification apps we tested to identify plants along your trail walks, keep away from harmful plants while camping or set up your dream garden

In the wake of wildfires, floods and droughts, restoring damaged landscapes and habitats requires native seeds. The U.S. doesn't have enough, according to a report released Thursday. "Time is of the essence to bank the seeds and the genetic diversity our lands hold," the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) report said.

Some species of carnivorous pitcher plant, Nepenthes, have switched from capturing and digesting insects to absorbing animal poop for their daily dose of nutrients – and it's a switch that's proving very beneficial.

Cloaked by the shadows of enchanting Asian woodlands, strange growths can be seen peeking out from between leaf litter like the ghosts of long-dead flowers.

Compounds derived from eucalyptus and other plants are formulated into an ink for printing electronic components.

Agri-tech company Gardin uses sensors and artificial intelligence to see how well crops are growing.

My beautiful home of Guam is being laid waste by a superpower – even the butterflies are in danger

However, as counterintuitive as it sounds, alcohol has the opposite effect on plants. A recent study published in Plant & Cell Physiology shows that pre-treating soil with ethanol significantly enhances crop plants’ drought tolerance — without genetic modification. The stakes are high for climate resilience in food systems.

Andernach's city center has fruit and vegetable gardens that anyone can harvest for free. By making edible plants a feature of public space, this town is trying to change the way locals think about their food.

There's something really peculiar about ferns.
