The study, "Improving the Efficiency of Rubisco by Resurrecting Its Ancestors in the Family Solanaceae," published April 15 in Science Advances. The senior author is Maureen Hanson, the Liberty ...

I am a specialist on the taxonomy of the nightshade family, Solanaceae, and have spent much time in the field in Central and South America collecting plants. My particular focus of research is the ...

And while they do belong to the nightshade plant family (Solanaceae), those “poison apples” weren’t really poisoning the aristocrats who ate them. Instead, it’s now understood that highly ...

A pivotal study sheds light on the evolutionary conservation of stem cell homeostasis in Solanaceae, revealing how receptor compensation mechanisms ensure the continuous and orderly formation of ...

The discovery represents the oldest evidence of plants within the genus Physalis, which are part of the Solanaceae family, or nightshades, a plant group that boasts among its members potatoes ...

The theory goes that members of the plant family Solanaceae – which includes tomatoes, capsicums, chilli peppers, eggplant and potatoes – contain toxins designed to stop us from eating them ...
