Led by plant biology associate professor José Dinneny, the Dinneny Lab explores plant growth in relation to environmental stressors, particularly investigating how plants’ roots sense water ...

PlantGPT connects plant sensors to artificial intelligence software and analyzes environmental conditions to provide feedback about plant health.

Chopping down trees and processing the wood isn’t the most efficient or environmentally friendly way to make furniture or building materials. Scientists at MIT have now made breakthroughs in a process ...

Even if you don't know what 3D microfluidic networks are, that doesn't change the fact that they have some very valuable possible uses. Scientists have now devised a much easier method of making the ...

A common lab plant that’s been poked and put under microscopes for decades may seem unlikely to keep secrets. But in widely studied Arabidopsis thaliana, scientists have identified the “cantil” — a ...

For all the ways that humans have toyed with nature, how we grow and extract materials from the forest and fields remains fundamentally unchanged. To get lumber, for example, we plant a tree, let it ...

Morris Arboretum is aiming to unlock the genetic keys to sustaining native trees and ferns with a new plant science lab. The facility, which will sit on the Chestnut Hill arboretum's Bloomfield Farm, ...
