Summary Theory predicts that natural selection should favor coordination between leaf physiology, biochemistry and anatomical structure along a functional trait spectrum from fast, ...

Researchers have developed machine-learning algorithms that teach a computer system to analyze three-dimensional shapes of the branches and leaves of a plant. The study may help scientists better ...

When looking at forests, we hardly get to see beyond a bunch of green. However, for a plant ecologist, forests represent a much more complex world consisting of different species. This diversity of ...

A joint research team led by Professors Pyungok Lim, Jongchan Lee, and Minsik Kim from Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science & Technology (DGIST; President Kunwoo Lee) has discovered a new molecular ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The ...

Knowing the leaf structure and ear flex characteristics of the corn hybrids you’ve purchased can help you decide where to place them in the field to maximize growth and performance this season. If you ...

Farmers who understand how corn hybrid ear type and corn plant structure can work together are on the road to being able to make better hybrid selections for their fields, says Ken Ferrie, Farm ...
