As climate change accelerates, plants face mounting pressure to adapt to shifting ecosystems and environmental conditions. This challenge is especially urgent for crops—plants resilient to drought and ...

Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in understanding how genetic drivers influence the evolution of a specific photosynthesis mechanism in Tillandsia (air plants). This sheds light on the complex ...

University of Calgary researcher Sam Yeaman and his team have determined in a recent study that there are some key genes that are particularly important for how plants respond adaptively to ...

For example, Aeonium plants have a distinctive protective mechanism: the more CAM photosynthesis occurs in these plants, the more effectively the thin waxy layer on their leaf surfaces, the cuticle, ...

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 ...

Plant roots are far more than simple absorption organs: they can adjust their structure to better cope with water stress. Scientists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in collaboration with the ...
