Deep in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, a group of delicate-looking herbs is quietly rewriting what botanists thought they knew ...
As climate change accelerates, plants face mounting pressure to adapt to shifting ecosystems and environmental conditions. This challenge is especially urgent for crops—plants resilient to drought and ...
Plants cannot run away when the wind picks up, rain lashes down or a hungry herbivore begins chewing on their leaves. Instead ...
Drought is a major abiotic constraint limiting agricultural productivity globally, and is of particular concern in Pakistan. Harnessing drought-adapted plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) ...
While humans can escape the heat by seeking shade or shedding layers, plants remain rooted in place. So how do they survive extreme heat? It's a question many have wondered—and now, science has an ...
University of Calgary researcher Sam Yeaman and his team have determined in a recent study that there are some key genes that are particularly important for how plants respond adaptively to ...
Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in understanding how genetic drivers influence the evolution of a specific photosynthesis mechanism in Tillandsia (air plants). This sheds light on the complex ...
The pigments that give beets their red color may have helped a major group of flowering plants repeatedly adapt to dry environments, setting the stage for the evolution of traits that allowed plants ...
A warming climate is forcing Antarctica’s native plants to adapt. Not only have they risen to the challenge, they’ve adapted ...
Plants adapt genetically over time to the special conditions of organic farming. This has been demonstrated in a long-term study conducted at the University of Bonn. The researchers planted barley ...
