Researchers from the John Innes Centre and the University of East Anglia have recently elucidated the structure and function of an enzyme which is involved in decorating antibiotics with sugar molecules

A new project is being launched at the John Innes Centre in Norwich to help geneticists understand how plants grow

John Innes Centre scientists have found that plants may cluster the genes needed to make defence chemicals

Scientists at the John Innes Centre in Norwich have discovered how roots find their way past obstacles to grow through soil

For any multicellular organism to work, it is essential that one cell can talk to another

The beauty of nature is partly due to the uniformity of leaf and flower size in individual plants, and scientists have discovered how plants arrive at these aesthetic proportions

A DNA-based therapy could slash the development time of new drugs to combat antibiotic resistant superbugs

A collaboration between researchers in Switzerland, the UK and France has led to the solution of the first crystal structure of a member of the Rhesus protein family and thereby shed new light on a group of proteins of great importance in human transfusion medicine

Scientists have made an important advance in understanding the genetic processes that give flowers, leaves and plants their bright colours
