Many home gardeners are surprised when their plants grow normally at first but never reach their expected full size.

Salk scientists find a plant protein that can directly sense temperature, giving plants a built-in cellular “thermostat" that could be a useful target for creating future crops that are more resilient ...

Applying imaging technology to plant roots, researchers have developed a new understanding of chemicals that are responsible for plant growth. The chemical 'roadmap' identifies where key molecules are ...

Scientists discover how plants sense temperature using internal protein “thermostats,” helping roots grow and adapt to heat.

Scientists have developed a toolbox of transcriptional regulators for plants and show that they can be used to construct synthetic genetic circuits that predictably modify root growth. Their work is ...

Raised beds are all the rage among hobby gardeners. Thanks to their clever design, you can grow vegetables with higher yields ...

As part of an investigation to boost agricultural yields and develop crops that are resilient to climate change, Berkeley Lab scientists have introduced RhizoNet, a computational tool that harnesses ...

If you miss the spring planting window, fall is also a good time.

From deciding on the right options for your growing zone and perfecting your soil health to pruning at just the right time, ...
