"This study is a testament to the unexpected connections between plant biology and microbiology." Scientists make astonishing ...

MS/MS-based method for quantifying plant-specialized metabolites for determining the quality of medicinal and aromatic plants ...

A homemade, chlorophyll-rich fertilizer known as "green gold" is gaining attention among gardening enthusiasts.

When applied with synthetic nitrogen, it is optimized by 50%, so in other words rates can be reduced–dramatically,” Darin ...

Researchers have now identified a plant metabolite called MEcPP that can disrupt biofilm formation. In plants, this metabolite helps generate critical molecules and is related to biochemical signaling ...

For instance, proteins are stored in the vacuoles of seeds, and rubber and opium are metabolites that are stored in plant vacuoles. Plant cells have certain distinguishing features, including ...

Generally when we consider the many plants around us, we imagine them efficiently using the electromagnetic radiation from the Sun via photosynthesis in their leaves — pulling carbon-dioxide ...

The Metabolite Profiling Facility (MPF) provides state-of-the-art technologies that enable both qualitative (defining all components of a metabolome) and quantitative (determining differential ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have invented a new method that uses DNA sequencing to measure metabolites. This enables rapid and precise analysis of biological compounds, such as sugars ...
