Making LAZY plants stand up: Research reveals new pathway plants use to detect gravity
A study by researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison has revealed a previously unknown pathway plants use to detect gravity and orient the direction they grow in. Publishing in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study may one day open the door for improvements in crop cultivation.

Mathematical models reveal a 'hidden order' in dryland vegetation worldwide
If you've ever traveled through drylands, you may have noticed striking vegetation patterns—stripes, spots, or rings—scattered across otherwise barren landscapes. From "tiger bush" in West Africa to the enigmatic "fairy circles" of Namibia, these patterns have long inspired wonder and scientific curiosity.

Death Valley plant yields blueprint for building heat-resilient crops
In California's Death Valley, where summer temperatures regularly soar above 120 degrees Fahrenheit, life seems almost impossible. Yet among the cracked earth and blinding sunlight, one native plant not only survives—it thrives.

Randomness reveals hidden order in the plant world
In the intricate architecture of plant tissues, beauty often emerges from chaos, according to new research from Cornell researchers. Findings from a recent study show how randomness and growth together create the striking cellular patterns that shape plant organs—and perhaps all multicellular life.
