Researchers did lab experiments and tested real plants, like corn, to see how the plastics entered the leaves. They found that the tiny plastic particles float in the air, land on the leaves, and ...

Plants know how to defend themselves against pathogenic microorganisms. In turn, pathogens have sensors to detect such defense mechanisms. What happens when plant and pathogen are locked in that duel?

Nankai University researchers have found that plant leaves can directly absorb microplastics (MPs) from the atmosphere, ...

In a breakthrough with promising real-world applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers, and plant biologists has captured the first live images. In a groundbreaking study, researchers ...
