The phenomenon was first documented 100 years ago and is commonly taught to biology students as an example of a plant-insect interaction.

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time one way that a small molecule turns a single cell into something as large as a tree.

The green world that we live in would not have been possible without hidden changes to the plant body over the last 400 million years.

When eight-year-old Hugo Deans discovered a handful of BB-sized objects beneath a log in his backyard, he thought they were a type of seed.

Plants lengthen and bend to secure access to sunlight. Despite observing this phenomenon for centuries, scientists do not fully understand.

A common weed harbors important clues about how to create drought resistant crops in a world beset by climate change.

“And so we lift our gaze, not to what stands between us, but what stands before us.” – Amanda Gorman, from “The Hill We Climb.”

Even drops of a few degrees can be tough on growing plants. If temperature swings become too large, that means less food for the planet.

The bloom of a giant and stinky Sumatran flower nicknamed the "corpse plant" because it smells like a dead body is drawing huge crowds.

Using specialized nanoparticles embedded in plant leaves, MIT engineers have created a light-emitting plant that can be charged by an LED.

Charles Darwin made a powerful observation that a mixture of species planted together grow more strongly than species planted individually.

In this new study, we've shown that you can use light instead of DNA to define plant populations, at a similar level of detail.

Botanists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and UBC have discovered a new carnivorous plant in western North America.
