Plants maintain populations of pluripotent stem cells in shoot apical meristems (SAMs), which continuously produce new aboveground organs. We used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to achieve an ...

As global temperatures continue to rise, extreme heat waves pose a significant threat to agricultural productivity. Studies estimate that for every 1°C increase above pre-industrial levels, crop ...

Plant roots have their own thermometer to measure the temperature of the soil around them and they adjust their growth accordingly. Through extensive experiments, a team was able to demonstrate that ...
