Plant scientists have used a standard "gene gun" since 1988 to genetically modify crops for better yield, nutrition, pest resistance and other valuable traits.

In new research that made the cover of the journal The Plant Cell, UD researchers found that the protein — PDLP5 — that helps guard plants from the invasion of viruses and bacteria has not one, but ...

Fourteen cells from the Arabidopsis thaliana plant were imaged every six minutes for about 24 hours as they regenerated their cell walls.The glow shows cellulose, chains of sugar molecules, which ...
