Biologists at Indiana University Bloomington have shown that the surfaces of plant leaves are coated with a diverse array of RNA molecules. The finding suggests that the RNA present on the leaf ...

ORNL scientists created a biosensor technology that lets researchers visualize and track RNA activity in living plants, using a molecular splicing technique and a fluorescent marker protein. *This ...

RNA interference (RNAi) is a fundamental cellular mechanism that regulates gene expression by inducing sequence-specific mRNA degradation. Researchers could utilize the RNAi as a powerful tool to ...

RNA acts as a messenger inside cells, carrying instructions from DNA that are translated into proteins that are essential for how cells function. In plants, RNA signals change rapidly as the plants ...

Texas A&M AgriLife researchers uncovered a promising target for controlling gene expression and other cellular processes, which could lead to advancements in crop resilience and our understanding of ...

A new nanotube-based RNA delivery system boosts plant regeneration by switching off a molecule that blocks shoot growth, without changing the plant's DNA. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Plant biotechnology has ...
