Barley #plants produce unique antifungal compounds called hordedanes.
But one of them, B. sorokiniana, exploits these defenses to thrive. By neutralizing theme, it extends its parasitic phase, showcasing the evolutionary battle between plants and pathogens.

A volcano erased an island’s plants. Their DNA revealed how life starts over
Their findings offer a rare glimpse into the very earliest stages of ecosystem development in an isolated environment.

A joint research team has discovered a new molecular switch that determines when plant leaves begin to age. The research team has identified for the first time a new mechanism in which RNA made from the nucleus moves to chloroplasts and regulates the aging of plant leaves.

In a recent greenhouse study, researchers showed that yellow flag iris plants, working in symbiosis with fungi on their roots, can take up and transform certain PFAS compounds from water. This plant–fungus partnership enhanced pollutant removal compared with plants alone.
