Yet despite close scrutiny, scientists have been unable to determine the exact mechanism by which the bacterial DNA crosses the plant's so-called plasma membrane.

Compared to a wild type Arabidopsis (WT, left), plants that lack either UBP12 and UBP13 (#1-7 and #12-8, centre) or BRI1 (bri1-null, right) have extremely stunted growth.

When plants are subjected to Zn deficiency, the transcriptional levels of Zn-absorbing transporters (such as ZIP4, ZIP9, and ZIP12) are significantly upregulated due to the plant's stress response ...

Now, chemical engineers at the University of Bath have made an effective and more sustainable plant-based nanofiltration membrane, which—in a world first—does not use fossil fuel-derived ...

This increased the factory’s production capacity by 40%. Based on results such as this, we are confident that making the effort and investment to optimise plant protein processing using membrane ...

They are used in cleaning our drinking water, treating sewage, processing foods and keeping pharmaceuticals safe – membranes are a crucial part of everyday life. Now, chemical engineers at the ...
