Hot enough for ya? We’ve barely turned the page to July, but we’ve had more than our share of relentless heat. Have you ever wondered how plants cope with heat? It’s not as if they can turn on their ...

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 ...

Plants are consistently threatened by various types of abiotic stress. Strides have been made over the past couple of decades in understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate plant responses to ...

In the realm of plant biology, pollination stands as a vital process, underpinning the survival and propagation of diverse ...

In the face of rapid climate change, it is important that plants can adapt quickly to new conditions to ensure their survival. Using field experiments and plant genome studies, an international ...

Plants have developed multiple morphological, physiological and molecular strategies to cope with adverse environmental conditions. Extremophile plants, however, are unique in that they likely evolved ...

Blacksburg, Va. -- Tiny tropical plants survived their continental-drift relocation to the Arctic by adapting to its harsh climate. Research into such adaptations of millennia ago, when ancient ...

From sticky “flypaper” to lightning-fast suction, carnivorous plants have evolved various ingenious traps for finding the ...

A new study has identified the genetic underpinnings of adaptive strategies adopted by major plant lineages in a naturally harsh environment. These strategies that include the enrichment of ...

Every April for the past decade, systems biologist Rodrigo Gutiérrez has driven 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) to reach one of the driest places on Earth: Chile’s Atacama Desert, parts of which ...

In this weeks “Connecting with COSI”, NBC4’s Monica Day learned about how plants use various smells to adapt to the environment in COSI’s “Nature’s Superheroes” exhibit. Plants can produce specific ...

"It's really important to look across the plant kingdom because plants have solved so many problems already. Why not read their genomes like a book and try to understand it and solve the problems ...
