United States Department of Agriculture scientists have discovered a tree that may be resistant to citrus greening.

Resistance to disease should mean a longer life, but researchers have found that a mutant protein that helps a plant fight ...

Scientists have unearthed surprising details about how our bodies handle insulin—the hormone that plays a crucial role in ...

In genetically predisposed subjects, the combination of excess caloric intake and reduced physical activity induces a state of insulin resistance. When beta cells are no longer able to compensate for ...

At the same time, common logging practices, which removed the biggest, most fire-resistant trees and often clear cut and replanted at high density, also made the forest more fire prone.

Koch finished her survey at the 4,800-acre park with only five or six trees that she thought might be resistant to the disease. But it was enough. That handful of specimens helped her return to ...

Chile’s ancient rainforest is home to a 5,000-year-old tree. Scientists and activists are fighting to stop a highway that would threaten the fragile ecosystem. Deep in the rainforests of ...
