One way to preserve plants suffering from rising temperatures is to relocate them in new areas that have become suitable for them. But when a plant grows in the sands of a harsh desert, you don't want that habitat to...
Hybrid Douglas-fir trees, with mixed ancestry from coastal and interior varieties, may offer greater resilience to climate change due to their higher water use efficiency and heat tolerance, making them a better choice...
Forest herbs adapt to climate change by adjusting their growth patterns within individual plants, which helps them better capture light and conserve water in response to environmental challenges like drought and shading.
Researchers discover that the horticultural plant L. virgatum has higher fitness and broader habitat tolerances than the invasive plant L. salicaria, potentially leading to rapid evolution and adaptation.
A recent study reveals that specific leaf traits, such as vein architecture and mechanical properties, play a crucial role in helping desert plants withstand herbivory damage.
A Brazilian plant manipulates bats into more effective pollination by controlling nectar secretion patterns, which encourages them to visit a variety of flowers.
Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework to understand how grapevine leaves adjust their structure and function under varying light conditions, revealing that thicker, less porous leaves with specific cell...
Researchers have uncovered the unique structure and function of the S1-type nuclease enzyme DAN1 in the Lance-leaved sundew, Drosera adelae, which aids the carnivorous plant in breaking down prey for nutrient absorption.
Marginal habitats, previously thought to be subsets of the rain forest, have distinct evolutionary paths, challenging our understanding of the Atlantic Forest's diversity.
