A new microscope lets scientists observe both large structures and tiny particles inside living cells at the same time, ...

Day to day, it might be tempting to take plants for granted. But you'd do so at your peril; our leafy brethren are staggeringly complex, as revealed when they're put under the microscope. To give ...

UIUC's platform, christened Stomata In-Sight, combines laser scanning confocal microscopy, gas exchange instruments and machine-learning image analysis, to simultaneously observe anatomical ...

A new leaf imaging system lets scientists watch plant stomata control water loss and carbon uptake in real time.

Scientists have created a new way to watch plants breathe—live and in high definition—while tracking exactly how much carbon ...

We reveal the structural basis of transport activity and substrate selectivity of LciA, a key bicarbonate channel that is part of the CO 2-concentrating mechanism in the green alga Chlamydomonas ...

This research integrates leaf physiology, anatomy, and cell wall composition to understand species habitat specialization. The findings suggest that wet forest species vary in hydraulic function via ...

This breakthrough could guide the breeding of smarter crops, plants that know when to open or close their pores, using water ...

For a team of researchers at KU, fungal doomsday looks less like parasitic mushrooms transforming people into zombies, and ...
