In an earlier story, we discussed the characteristics of monocots and talked about some of the beautiful native monocot ...

Scientist Matt Humphry of the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research and his team identified a set of genes regulated by a common protein that has been conserved in the genome of monocot and ...

At least two components that modulate plant resistance against the fungal powdery mildew disease are ancient and have been conserved since the time of the monocot-dicot split (≈200 Mya). These ...

Plants can be largely divided into dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous ones. These groups, apart from differing in their embryonic structure, have numerous other distinguishing factors. Which is why, ...

Phytochrome is rapidly degraded in vivo after photoconversion from the stable red-absorbing (Pr) form to the far red-absorbing (Pfr) form. Previously, we have shown in etiolated oat seedlings that ...
