These plants would utilize two "glowing" sensors that react to stress-related compounds in the leaves. When plants are subjected to stress, their leaves produce chemicals known as signaling ...

Undernourished plants may face stunted growth, deformation, or reduced chlorophyll production, which explains signs like yellowing and curling leaves. Primary macronutrients are the nutritional ...

Each night at sunset, a handful of plants "fall asleep." Species as diverse as legumes and daisies curl up their leaves and petals for the evening and do not unfurl until morning. Now, a new study ...

Question: My caladiums are not sprouting leaves as normal. Will they regrow or do I need to plant new bulbs? Answer: Hopefully by the time you receive this response there are lots of new shoots.

Nankai University researchers have found that plant leaves can directly absorb microplastics (MPs) from the atmosphere, leading to a widespread presence of plastic polymers in vegetation.

Researchers in China have developed a robot that identifies different plant species at various stages of growth by "touching" their leaves with an electrode. The robot can measure properties such ...
