Botanists have identified key regulatory networks controlling how plants grow 'outwards,' which could help us to grow trees to be more efficient carbon sinks and increase vegetable crop yields. Two ...

An inter-university research group has succeeded in constructing the gene expression network behind the vascular development process in plants. They achieved this by performing bioinformatics analysis ...

Scientists from the University of Helsinki have uncovered how plants restore the vascular cambium stem cells, a key tissue type that forms wood and phloem, when it gets damaged. Plants cannot move ...

New study from the University of Helsinki reveals how plant hormones control the dual fates of xylem-pole pericycle cells, a population of pluripotent stem cells embedded within vascular tissue of ...

When plants evolved a vascular system containing cells that facilitate the transport of water and nutrients, this not only allowed them to conquer land, but also provided the structural stability that ...
