It's easy to create a sensory garden for your children that is not only beautiful to look at but tantalises their senses too! These plants offer a great way to catch children's imagination and get ...

However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their sensory transduction systems remain largely unknown, primarily due to challenges in visualizing plant responses to external stimuli in real time.

In the microscopic battlefield of plant-microbe interactions, plants are constantly fighting off invading bacteria. New research reveals just how clever these bacterial invaders can be.

Second, some plants possess mechanisms or structural features that provide advantages when growing in certain types of nutrient limited soils. In fact, most plants have evolved nutrient uptake ...

"We want to continue to identify other ion channel genes involved in this process and aim to explain the various mechanisms of plant senses on the microscopic level," Professor Aoki added.

Studies have revealed that the urothelium is involved in sensory mechanisms (i.e. the ability to express a number of sensor molecules or respond to thermal, mechanical and chemical stimuli ...
