Plants with more complex water transport structures are more resistant to drought conditions, making them more likely to survive and pass this characteristic on to their offspring. That’s the ...

Plant researchers and bioinformatics researchers have succeeded for the first time in identifying the functions of the different cell types in the leaf vasculature of plants. The leaf vasculature of ...

Plant species vary greatly in how efficiently they convert sunlight into organic matter, how fast they reproduce, how much nutrients and water they need, how much carbon they store, or how fast their ...

The minor is intended to give students a broad perspective plant biology. Through required coursework on diversity, evolution, and structure and function of plants, students will have a foundational ...

An international team of researchers has solved the structure and elucidated the function of photosynthetic complex I. This membrane protein complex plays a major role in dynamically rewiring ...

On Nov. 14, The Biology Colloquium, hosted by the University of Wisconsin Botany and Integrative Biology Departments, is a series of interactive lectures that cover a wide range of topics. In Birge ...
