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 ...

Scientists have visualised plant respiration in real time, capturing stomata opening and closing. This breakthrough offers ...

Death Valley, in California, is among the hottest areas worldwide, and temperature levels during summer often surpass 120ºF.

Think about a garden where flowers bloom beside nuclear reactors. It sounds impossible, yet it's happening right now. Since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, scientists have watched in amazement as ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Mutualism between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is common, and plant populations are expected to have adapted to the AM fungal communities occupying their roots. Tests of this ...
