Scientists at Umeå University have found a way to break open the protective walls of pollen grains – one of the hardest biomaterials in the world – without damaging the inside cell and its components.

miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression and influence key developmental processes. In plants, these molecules are produced through a multistep biogenesis pathway involving the ...

A team of chemists led by Northwestern University has resolved a structural mystery that lingered for roughly three decades, completing the total synthesis of two rye pollen compounds whose exact ...
