So how do plants survive? A new Université de Montréal study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has found a key mechanism that enables plants to keep dangerous gene alterations in check to ensure their continued existence. http://www.huliq.com/11/86126/how-plants-protect-their-genes#comments Science genes plants Thu, 10 Sep 2009 12:03:21 -0500 harminka 86126 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/85570/study-reveals-nutritional-value-andalusian-lupines A group of researchers from the Fat Institute (CSIC) and the University of Seville have confirmed that some wild plants have a high nutritional value. The scientists have found that several species of lupins from the mountains of Andalusia have a protein content similar to that of other cultivated legumes, as they publish in the online version of the Food Chemistry magazine. http://www.huliq.com/11/85570/study-reveals-nutritional-value-andalusian-lupines#comments Science herbs plants Sat, 29 Aug 2009 07:22:31 -0500 harminka 85570 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/0/84705/gardenologyorg-wikipedia-gardeners-surpasses-10000-articles 10,000 article milestone on Gardenology.org, the plant encyclopedia and gardening wiki. http://www.huliq.com/0/84705/gardenologyorg-wikipedia-gardeners-surpasses-10000-articles#comments Recreation botany cultivation Encyclopedia Flowers garden Gardening horticulture plants Wiki Mon, 10 Aug 2009 00:48:19 -0500 84705 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/0/84336/today-show%E2%80%99s-kathie-lee-and-hoda-kotb-feature-tickleme-plant The TODAY Show with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb featured the TickleMe Plant along with new and exciting educational products from the TickleMe Plant Company. http://www.huliq.com/0/84336/today-show%E2%80%99s-kathie-lee-and-hoda-kotb-feature-tickleme-plant#comments Science Gardening gifts Kathie Lee party favors plants Tickle me Plant TickleMe Plant today show Fri, 31 Jul 2009 17:04:45 -0500 84336 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/83039/plants-circadian-clock-improve-climate-change-models The ability of plants to tell the time, a mechanism common to all living beings, enables them to survive, grow and reproduce. In a study published in the latest issue of the prestigious journal Ecology Letters, an international team has studied this circadian clock from a molecular viewpoint and has found an ecological implication: it makes climate change scenarios and CO2 level figures more accurate. http://www.huliq.com/11/83039/plants-circadian-clock-improve-climate-change-models#comments Science climate change plants Fri, 03 Jul 2009 01:38:24 -0500 harminka 83039 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82240/advance-registered-understanding-cellulose-synthesis Cellulose is a fibrous molecule that makes up plant cell walls, gives plants shape and form and is a target of renewable, plant-based biofuels research.

Nearly $200 million of food is produced in domestic greenhouses each year, and the facilities play a vital role in producing seeds and transplantable vegetation. Understanding how to keep greenhouse plants healthy can translate to increased revenue for producers. http://www.huliq.com/11/77531/detecting-disease-greenhouse-plants#comments Science greenhouses plant diseases plants Tue, 17 Feb 2009 09:47:00 -0600 harminka 77531 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75934/top-5-invasive-plants-threatening-southern-forests-2009 U.S. Forest Service Southern Research Station (SRS) Ecologist Jim Miller, Ph.D., one of the foremost authorities on nonnative plants in the South, today identified the invasive plant species he believes pose the biggest threats to southern forest ecosystems in 2009. http://www.huliq.com/11/75934/top-5-invasive-plants-threatening-southern-forests-2009#comments Science grass plants Tue, 13 Jan 2009 02:00:11 -0600 harminka 75934 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75779/displacing-petroleum-derived-butanol-plants As a chemical for industrial processes, butanol is used in everything from brake fluid, to paint thinners, to plastics.
