(Natural News) Scientists have found that there is solidarity among trees. They found that trees can “reach out” using their roots to help old and damaged trees. The scientists discovered this when they ventured upon an old tree stump in New Zealand that was still clinging to life despite not having any leaves. The discovery […]

(Natural News) Experts from the University of Sheffield in the U.K. have revealed how plants provide air to every cell in their bodies. Furthermore, they point out that human intervention has influenced how plants breathe. The study was headed by Andrew Fleming, a professor at Sheffield’s Institute for Sustainable Food. Their study was published in the journal Nature Communications. Plants […]

(Natural News) It may not seem like it, but plants can also experience stress – oxidative stress, that is – from absorbing too much light. Now, scientists are looking into the process by which plants manage oxidative stress. Researchers from Kobe University have recently released the results of a study that looked into how plants manage oxidative stress. The […]

(Natural News) While the northern pitcher plant (Sarracenia purpurea) is well-known for consuming insects and other invertebrates as supplementary food, a recent study published in the journal Ecology points out that about one in five pitcher plants in Ontario’s Algonquin Provincial Park has upgraded its menu to include juvenile salamanders. While Asiatic pitcher plants such as the Philippines’ Nepenthes […]

(Natural News) Carbonphobia is sweeping the globe as leftists continue to fear-monger about the “horrors” of carbon dioxide (CO2), and the “need” to eradicate it in order for “global warming” to end. And their latest “solution” to the “problem” is to unleash new varieties of genetically modified (GMO) plants that have the engineered ability to […]

(Natural News) Early this year, China’s lunar probe Chang’e 4 landed on the unexplored far side of the moon carrying with it a canister of plant seeds. A couple of days later, Chinese scientists confirmed that some of the cotton plants have sprouted – the first time plants were able to do so on the far side […]

(Natural News) No plant in the world has a feature that’s remotely similar to a brain. However, British researchers recently found out that flowering plants contained proteins that can store information about changes in their environment, such as shifts in temperatures when one season gave way to another. These data served as “memories” for a plant. When the plant experienced stimuli […]

(Natural News) What do you get when you combine an edible mushroom, photosynthetic bacteria, 3D printing, and nanotechnology in one package? A solar-powered bionic fungus, stated a Phys.org article, which can produce usable electricity. This Frankenstein’s Monster is the brainchild of researchers from the Stevens Institute of Technology (Stevens). They used a 3D printer to create cyanobacteria clusters and graphene-based […]

(Natural News) Thanks to the collaborative work of an international team of researchers, a self-sealing mechanism has been discovered in the seed pods of Banksia plants. The study, which was published in the Journal of The Royal Society Interface, involved researchers from Kings Park and Botanic Garden in Western Australia, the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (MPIKG), TU Dresden, and the University of […]

(Natural News) It’s a great time to start thinking about herbal medicine: A recent report estimates that the herbal medicinal product market is expected to continue its upswing well into the near future, thanks to the availability of raw herbs and the increasing awareness and acceptance of people on traditional medical systems. That, combined with a […]
