Kobe University researcher has uncovered the purpose of the structure that inspired its name — revealing a novel mechanism by which plants ensure reproduction.
“An upright leaf structure harvests more sunlight and will respond in yield if sunlight is the limiting factor,” Ferrie notes. “Corn hybrids with more of a ‘floppy’ leaf type will maximize leaf area ...

A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules. Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories -- using E. coli and yeast -- to produce a special class of plant ...
