Science, Volume 389, Issue 6764, September 2025. Summary Without specific content from a hypothetical September 2025 issue of Science, I can only offer a general summary based on what the journal typically contains. A September 2025 issue of Science (Volume 389, Read More
These Glow-in-the-Dark Succulents Could Replace Your Night Light – New
Scientists have found a way to turn ordinary succulents into living night lights by infusing them with special glowing compounds. After just a few minutes of sunlight or LED exposure, these plants can shine for Read More
Breeding climate-resilient crop plants: Mapping method reveals key regulatory switches
Natural genetic variation in the genome ensures biodiversity and drives evolution. However, as natural evolutionary processes require millennia, we cannot wait for them to adapt crop plants to the rapidly changing climatic conditions. To safeguard Read More
Flowering time and pollinator visits together shape which plants thrive
A new paper in Annals of Botany indicates that pollination can have a dramatic effect on how plants grow and change. The study shows that when plants and pollinators become uncoordinated, even for a brief Read More
Sucrose provides plants with more than energy. It acts as a temperature sensor, signaling growth in warm conditions. Summary Sucrose, beyond being an energy source for plants, also functions as a temperature sensor. When sucrose Read More
A sensor that can measure hormone concentrations in plants precisely and in real time with minimal damage can shed light on how hormones affect plants’ response to disease and stress. With further development, it could Read More
