Recent research into bacterial cellulose patches may speed plants' recovery, improve grafting and help with preservation.

Researchers have successfully uncovered the molecular mechanisms by which bacterial cellulose patches stimulate the regeneration of plant wounds.   - The regeneration process requires the activation ...

A study has elucidated the mechanism by which bacterial cellulose mediates plant tissue regeneration. The work has been ...

Darwin's theory of natural selection provides an explanation for why organisms develop traits that help them survive and reproduce. Because of this, death is often seen as a failure rather than a ...

Evolution is traditionally associated with a process of increasing complexity and gaining new genes. However, the explosion of the genomic era shows that gene loss and simplification is a much more ...

Gaining insight could help understand the timing and process of life's emergence. A research team led by a Rutgers-New ...

Global warming is producing a rapid loss of plant species -- according to estimates, roughly 600 plant species have died out since 1750 -- twice the number of animal species lost. But which species ...

Low-fiber fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids tend to be easier on an inflamed gut, ...

Plants encounter various abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures, which can significantly hinder their growth and ...

This study has revealed that an enzyme in E-coli bacteria breaks down the contents of cells into nutrients after death ...

Chronic dehydration can be linked to higher serum ... results suggest that staying well hydrated may slow down the aging process and prevent or delay chronic disease.” The new study was ...
