Plant researchers and bioinformatics researchers have succeeded for the first time in identifying the functions of the different cell types in the leaf vasculature of plants. The leaf vasculature of ...

Plants with more complex water transport structures are more resistant to drought conditions, making them more likely to survive and pass this characteristic on to their offspring. That’s the ...

Vascular plants that moved back into the water did not simply shed complexity and shrink their genomes. New genomic work shows that many aquatic lineages instead rewire and expand key gene families, ...

Plant structure -- Introduction to plant taxonomy -- Botanical nomenclature -- Taxonomic evidence -- Classification systems -- Systematic methods and classification -- Floras, manuals, and botanical ...

Forget your favorite flowers, because we’re talking all about the mean green sporing machines. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we dive into the first few branches of plants’ phylogenetic ...

The leaf vasculature of plants plays a key role in transporting solutes from where they are made - for example from the plant cells driving photosynthesis - to where they are stored or used. Sugars ...
