A biologist has found that at least some plant adaptations can occur almost instantaneously, not by a change in DNA sequence, but simply by duplication of existing genetic material. Plants adapt to ...
How do plants adapt to drought and heat? New studies on plants of the Canary Islands show that adaptation is not determined by a single character but by the interaction of entire sets of characters.
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 ...
A recent study from researchers at the University of Toulouse has revealed a fascinating insight into the origins of life on land. The study, published in Science, highlights how a gene transfer ...
Annals of Botany, Vol. 112, No. 9 (December 2013), pp. 1921-1930 (10 pages) • Background and Aims Local adaptation enables plant species to persist under different environmental conditions.
Scientist have found genetic evidence of how some plants adapt to live in unfavorable conditions, a finding he believes could one day be used to help food crops survive in new or changing environments ...
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 ...
This may sound more like a line from a poem than a scientific enquiry. But new analysis suggests that plants can pass on climate adaptation tips to their offspring. From devastating floods to rising ...
