Vascular plants that moved back into the water did not simply shed complexity and shrink their genomes. New genomic work ...

Aquatic plants are specialized evolutionary groups adapted to life in water. They play critical roles as food and medicinal ...

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 ...

Researchers find a native plant rapidly splitting into unique urban types as heat islands and city microclimates accelerate evolution.

Plants are exposed to constant environmental changes, and their survival depends on their ability to sense and adapt to environmental stimuli. Protein molecules in the cell membrane play a crucial ...

In the plant world, there is a standard for doing business. You don’t rely on food from other sources, you make it yourself using sunlight energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose ...

"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 ...

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 ...

Humans evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to be the ultimate flexible eaters—chasing carbohydrates and fats from plant and animal sources alike. A new study in the Journal of Archaeological ...
