Plant immunity is the inherent or induced capacity of plants to withstand or ward off biological attack by pathogens. Molecules released from pathogens are recognised by plant cell surface ...

Jan. 16, 2025 — A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules. Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories -- using E. coli and yeast -- to produce a special ...

While it’s easier than ever to buy live plants online, sometimes, despite our best intentions, those live plants become, well, dead plants. Artificial plants — fake plants, silk plants ...

Russia and Ukraine have exchanged hundreds of prisoners of war in a deal brokered by the United Arab Emirates. The Russian defence ministry said it had swapped 150 Ukrainian soldiers held captive ...

Jan. 20, 2025 — Researchers have profiled the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells showe how changes in the viral polymerase -- a ...

Figure 1. The biogenesis of exosomes and their regulation on the phenotype and function of macrophages. Intraluminal vesicles from multivesicular bodies release exosomes into the extracellular space.

The formation of exosomes begins with the inward budding of the endosomal membrane, which results in the creation of intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) within the MVBs. This process is facilitated by ...

The arrival of the new year brings with it the opportunity to sow seeds indoors for the year ahead. For some plants, including tropical crops like chillies and aubergines, sowing as early as January ...

Bare-root fruit trees are generally cheaper to buy than potted trees, and the time to buy and plant them is from November to March. When planting them, good soil preparation is vital, especially if ...
