Add this universal truth to biology textbooks: the mass of a plant's leaves and stems is proportionally scaled to that of its roots in a mathematically predictable way, regardless of species or ...

We have looked at seeds and roots of plants, and now we are going to study the stems. Plant stems are defined as the axis, or the center portion of the plant, connecting the roots to the branches, ...

Stem cell research is a hot topic. With applications for a host of human medical advancements, researchers have been working with animal and human stem cells for years. But animals aren’t the only ...

May 12 (UPI) --To the surprise of scientists, new research showed stem cells in plants and animals behave similarly. "The plant and animal kingdoms were separated through evolution more than 1.6 ...
