Hidden for 200 million years, the Wollemi pine is now the world’s most fiercely protected tree—and its survival story is ...

WITH ADVICE FROM award-winning garden designer Alan Rudden there’s no need for your garden to go to pot. Here, the designer ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a novel microsystem for investigating mechanisms of plant-root growth. To measure a generative force by plant-root growth efficiently, we developed a silicon-based ...

Overwatering is common, and it harms plants, not to mention water waste. Underwatering is also harmful, especially in hot, windy weather. How can we know we are watering correctly? Most ...

▪ As the weather turns hotter and conditions become more challenging, you can expect insect and even disease problems to ...

In the case of cocoa trees, since they are a deciduous plant ... These effects could be attributed to certain characteristics such as low soil water extraction capacity of the root system, low ...

Those trees cope better with water and nutrient scarcity, which is an important trait for forestry in the face of climate warming. Despite having enormous root systems, trees are often unable to ...

Plants have small pores on the underside of their leaves, known as stomata. When the sun rises, these pores open and the plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, which they need, in ...

In this paper, we introduce an expert system specialized in the prediction of the most suitable algorithm for both MSA and phylogenetic tree construction. To construct the knowledge base, we built ...
