A new study provides insight into the physiological and genetic control of transpiration in faba bean and opportunities for marker-assisted selection to improve its performance in water-limited environments.
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...
Warming temperatures and land reclamation are causing a significant increase in harmful greenhouse gas emissions from alpine meadows, intensifying the effects of climate change.
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.
Since the release of the first plant genome in 2000, the field of next-generation sequencing applied to botanical species has bloomed and expanded from model organism (Arabidopsis thaliana) to crops, thus becoming a...
Scientists are exploring a new way to improve food security in the face of climate change by studying "feral crops" - wild plants that have escaped cultivation and continue to thrive without human intervention.
Water Hyacinths can help clean up polluted water when grown in artificial wetlands, but nanoplastic pollution could dramatically reduce their efficiency.
