Plant biologists have developed a method for growing transgenic and gene-edited plants that cuts the slow and expensive process down from months to weeks. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

Synthetic seed technology represents a significant biotechnological advancement in plant science, enabling the encapsulation of explants—such as nodal segments, shoot tips or embryos—in a gelling ...

When injured, plants trigger regenerative and defense processes. Until now, it has been unclear whether these “fix and fight” responses activate together or represent biological trade-offs. A new ...

The ability to self-repair damaged tissue is one of the key features that define living organisms. Plants in particular are regeneration champions, a quality that has been used for centuries in ...

A new nanotube-based RNA delivery system boosts plant regeneration by switching off a molecule that blocks shoot growth, without changing the plant's DNA. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Plant biotechnology has ...

After injury, plants make a trade-off between repairing damaged tissue and ramping up their defenses, according to a new study. Understanding how plants regulate these responses enabled the ...

Peptide REF1 is a local wound signal promoting plant regeneration. Credit: IGDB In a study published in Cell on May 22, researchers led by Prof. Li Chuanyou from the Institute of Genetics and ...

Osaka, Japan – Plants have an impressive ability to regenerate damaged tissues, but how they do it is not fully understood. Now, researchers from Japan have discovered the mechanisms involved in this ...

This study reveals that water availability at the wound determines plant regeneration outcomes. High water availability induces root regeneration whereas low water availability triggers callus ...

GA, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Plant regeneration relies on a delicate balance between stem cell renewal and differentiation, yet the ...
