Medicine & TechnologyWhen Charles Darwin initially codified the theory of evolution by means of natural selection, he thought of the evolutionary change in flowers and plants as "gradual." He said they see nothing of these slow changes in progress.
Harvesting an agave for mescal production which includes tequila is not a major threat in northeastern Mexico, as it is in the western portion of the nation. A report specified though, as drought has strengthened to turn more often, the cattle which have customarily gazed on grasses and other native forage, have been forced to feed on agaves.
A new study was able to solve how lignins could be source of biomass to create cheap, high-quality, and sustainable products, decreasing the waste of the planet.
Scientists found the oldest fossilized flower bud in China, which could be the transitional stage that will unravel how and when the first flowering plants evolved.
A new study observed a non-random mutation pattern in genes of a roadside weed known as the thale cress. The findings gave insights to how mutations work in the evolution of organisms, including humans.
A new biological study confirmed that the gravitational tides from the sun and moon's activities influence the behavioral aspects of both animals and plants on Earth.
The Research Institute at the Goetheanum was founded a hundred years ago, prompted by the first experiments in search of a ‘reagent’ that can make life visible.
Researchers from Dartmouth College discovered how iron deficient plants protect themselves from damaging light that involves a genetic process that involves optimizing photosynthesis.
The original 20-foot specimen of what recent reports have described as a "mystery plant" was discovered in 1973 by Chicago's Field Museum's retired curator Robin Foster.
