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.
Tracing the phylogenetic patterns in native edible plants of Mexico shows how indigenous cultures have sustainably utilized regional botanical diversity for millennia.
Scientists studied how the scents of a Solanaceae species vary and how they affect pollinator visitation and found that although floral perfume is an important factor, other signals might affect pollinators visits.
Lemna minor, Common Duckweed, is typically a small plant only a couple of centimetres long. New research finds that it gets even smaller when microbes interact with the plant.
Discover how the survival strategies of grass species, intertwined with climate and functional traits, could forecast the fate of ecosystems amid climate change.
Plants have an amazing ability to remember and adapt to different environments, which helps them survive and grow better, and scientists are using different scientific approaches to understand how this works, unlocking...
The 'virtual leaf' that simulates leaf physiology in 3D, promises breakthroughs in understanding plant responses to environmental changes and boosting our agricultural strategies.
Chiminazzo and colleagues shed light on the intriguing survival strategies of woody plants in fire-prone ecosystems, using the Brazilian Cerrado as an example.
As the climate warms, shifts in temperature and water availability, affects competition and interaction among native and exotic plant species in Southern British Columbia.
Hu and team reveal a rich diversity of chromosome counts in the Rhododendron genus, potentially reshaping understanding of species diversification and offering crucial insights for biodiversity conservation.
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.
