npj Science of Plants - Plant molecular farming for pharmaceuticals: the state of the art

The programme is aimed at early career researchers as well as established academics and scientists from countries on the OECD DAC list in Latin America, Asia and Sub Saharan Africa.

Osmotic stress reduces turgor pressure and relaxes the cell wall. Qin et al. reveal the critical role of the extracellular domain of FER in sensing turgor reduction, triggering FER clustering and acti...

Key message Scalable moss bioreactors enable the production of high-quality recombinant prolyl-hydroxylated human collagen without heterologous P4H expression, offering a sustainable and vegan alterna...

All organisms fuel and build themselves through their energy metabolism. While classic biochemistry conceptualizes the fluxes of energy and matter, our understanding of how energy metabolism works in ...

Nature Protocols - This protocol details the quantitative imaging of apoplastic pH in Arabidopsis thaliana roots using confocal microscopy combined with the fluorescent pH probe...

In many algae, photosynthesis is boosted by biophysical CO2-concentrating mechanisms, which pack the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco into liquid-like organelles called pyrenoids. Engineering C3 crops with a...

Plants coordinate resource uptake, developmental pace, and morphological efficiency. This ensures that energy use is balanced across time and tissues, enab

We are hiring a Tenure-track Assistant Professor and Curator in Bryology at the National Natural History Museum Denmark, in central Copenhagen. Duties are collection-based research, curation of a h...

That’s much faster than what most scientists thought.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

The study titled "Thylakoids reorganization enables driving photosynthesis under far‐red light in the microalga Nannochloropsis gaditana," published in «New Phytologist» and conducted by the research…

Target of rapamycin (TOR) is a conserved protein kinase and an important signalling hub in eukaryotes. The moss Physcomitrella ( Physcomitrium patens ) is a model organism for plant physiology, develo...
