Experiments with the common morning glory reveal drought drives faster evolutionary changes in floral signals and rewards critical for plant-pollinator interactions compared to pollinator declines.
Underground trees, a type of geoxyles occurring in Afrotropical savannas and grasslands, have unique and diverse ways of surviving in tough environments, according to recent research.
Discover how the survival strategies of grass species, intertwined with climate and functional traits, could forecast the fate of ecosystems amid climate change.
Chiminazzo and colleagues shed light on the intriguing survival strategies of woody plants in fire-prone ecosystems, using the Brazilian Cerrado as an example.
Sarah Mathura's new study charts a vital path to understanding sweet potato growth and boosting its yield, potentially revolutionising food security in developing countries.
Scientists studied how plants in the Amazonian savannas survive in dry conditions. They found that different plants have unique ways of persisting in this challenging environment, like having thick leaves or special...
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...
