A research team has revealed the molecular steps that led to the emergence of this plant-specific vacuolar transport system. Their work shows that the acquisition of this pathway was driven by the ...

This protein storage function is unique to plant vacuoles and does not occur in other organisms. During evolution, plants developed a dedicated mechanism to transport large quantities of proteins into ...

Plants do not suffer in silence. Instead, when thirsty or stressed, plants make “airborne sounds,” according to a study published today in Cell. Plants that need water or have recently had their stems ...
