Before seedlings can photosynthesize, they depend on fatty acids—and on peroxisomes to process them. Researchers discovered ...

For most of their lives, plants get their energy from photosynthesis. But during the seed to seedling stage, when they can't ...

Rice University scientists used advanced CRISPR techniques to study PEX11, a protein coded by five genes in Arabidopsis plants, revealing its role in controlling peroxisome growth during the ...

Plants spend most of their lives using photosynthesis to make energy. However, in the earliest phase after a seed begins to grow, they cannot yet ...

Researchers at the University of Virginia (UVA) School of Medicine have uncovered a potential path to treatment for persistent COVID-19 symptoms impacting the lungs. The work, published in Science in ...

For the first time, the researchers have identified and molecularly characterized the RADAR pathway (“Receptor Accumulation and Degradation in the Absence of Recycling”) in baker’s yeast. This ...
