Researchers at the University of Vienna, along with collaborators from France, Germany, Switzerland and the U.S., have achieved a breakthrough in understanding how genetic drivers influence the ...

As plants are sessile organisms, they must be highly flexible in their ability to adapt to a wide range of environmental conditions in order to survive. Researchers from the Department of Plant ...

Plant roots are far more than simple absorption organs: they can adjust their structure to better cope with water stress.

Plants are exposed to constant environmental changes, and their survival depends on their ability to sense and adapt to environmental stimuli. Protein molecules in the cell membrane play a crucial ...

University of Calgary researcher Sam Yeaman and his team have determined in a recent study that there are some key genes that are particularly important for how plants respond adaptively to ...

Animals can adapt quickly to survive adverse environmental conditions. Evidence is mounting to show that plants can, too. An article details how plants are rapidly adapting to the adverse effects of ...

Think about a garden where flowers bloom beside nuclear reactors. It sounds impossible, yet it's happening right now. Since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, scientists have watched in amazement as ...

Craig Brodersen, who has led groundbreaking research and provided exceptional leadership in the field of plant physiological ecology, was recently appointed the Howard and Maryam Newman Professor of ...
