Scientists in China and the United States have collaborated to develop a new plant-based nanoparticle treatment for ...

The research team used the nanoparticles to deliver synthetic mRNA that produces a green fluorescent protein into multiple plant species including Arabidopsis, a miniature member of the canola and ...

Researchers explored L-arginine-loaded lipid nanoparticles from fenugreek seed oil, finding they enhance drug stability and ...

"We used the secretion of the pitcher plant and treated it with silver nitrate, which helped us produce these nanoparticles. Our team also found that these biosynthesised silver nanoparticles ...

The field of agricultural science is increasingly focusing on the application of green technologies to combat plant stress induced by both abiotic and ...

Recent research into bacterial cellulose patches may speed plants' recovery, improve grafting and help with preservation.

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

Examples include the use of plant extracts, bacteria, fungi, and biomolecules (e.g., proteins, DNA) as reducing and stabilizing agents. Gold nanoparticles exhibit excellent catalytic activity for ...

Plants have two basic immune pathways. First, a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) on the plant cell’s surface recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) released by invaders—say, the ...
