Miscanthus lutarioriparius is a plant that grows back every year. It is known for producing a lot of biomass. This makes it useful for making biofuels and other eco-friendly products. Scientists have been studying this plant to understand how it handles tough conditions like too much salt or not enough water. They built special libraries of its genes to find out more...

Ever wonder how plants survive harsh conditions like dry spells or salty soils? One key player is the Sec14 gene family, a group of genes with a special domain that helps regulate lipids, the building blocks of cell membranes. This family has been around since the days of yeast, and it's found in all eukaryotic cells, including ours. But what about in soybeans? Not m...
