A study of two species of grass in China finds that they have developed different methods to cope with the stress of saline-alkali soils.
Tea leaves might not predict the future, but they have a powerful connection to our past.
Hidden in the shadows, plants have survived catastrophic deforestation by taking refuge in caves.
The phylogeography, the study of the spatial and temporal history of a species, remains largely unclear for plant species in sub-tropical China. Zhang et al. use Tapiscia sinensis, an endemic tree species, as a model to study the phylogeographical history and patterns of genetic diversity of Tertiary relict species in subtropical regions.
