Plants living in unusual soils, such as those that are extremely low in essential nutrients, provide insight into the mechanisms of adaptation, natural selection, and endemism. A seminal 1951 paper on ...

Phytochemical diversity plays a critical role in determining plant adaptation and fitness, as well as ecosystem functions and services. However, phytochemicals and their ecological adaptations have ...

VIENNA (ANI) – As climate change accelerates, plants face increasing pressure to adapt to new environmental conditions. This is especially critical for crops, as drought- and heat-resistant plants are ...

The Earth is home to a diversity of plants with highly varied forms and functions. This extraordinary morphological, physiological and biochemical diversity determines how plants adapt and respond to ...

A new study in Current Biology identified genetic variants in Marchantia polymorpha that enable climate adaptation. By integrating genomic and climate data, researchers uncovered genes linked to ...

Scientists first to visualize live plant respiration with advanced imaging. Real-time gas exchange through stomata was recorded at cellular-level detail. Breakthrough reveals plant adaptation, aiding ...
