A new study found that trees synchronize during a solar eclipse through shared electrical signals, revealing forest-wide ...

Early blight, caused by Alternaria solani, reduces potato yield and quality and is best managed with cultural practices and ...

All coconut palms produce water, though some, like tall varieties, will produce more than others, like dwarf varieties. The ...

Published in Science Bulletin, the study introduces a composite that mimics the layered stem structure of plants. By aligning cement and PVA hydrogel layers, the material achieves a Seebeck ...

Spruce trees anticipated a solar eclipse by syncing their signals. Older trees responded first. Forests may behave as one ...

The water is a filtered sap that’s drawn up from the roots and transported through the tree’s vascular system (its water and nutrient transport system), specifically the xylem tissue.

Woody tissue of plants contains many different cell types with different functions. While there is a relatively good understanding of the cell types that are highly differentiated, such as ...

Cut into a beautiful green avocado only to find strings laced through it? Here's what they are and whether they're safe to ...

Rain, however, isn’t what makes sap rise up through a tree’s vascular tissue, or xylem. It’s temperature changes and root pressure that make sap rise up in the trees. The moisture from the ...

This advanced technology can detect a reduction in acidity in plant xylem tissues, providing early warning of drought stress in plants up to 48 hours before traditional methods. Drought—or a ...
