Facing both climate change and a crashing pollinator population, plants may be evolving to attract pollinators rather than ...
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 ...
As climate change accelerates, plants face mounting pressure to adapt to shifting ecosystems and environmental conditions. This challenge is especially urgent for crops—plants resilient to drought and ...
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 ...
Both plant genera use the water-saving CAM photosynthesis (crassulacean acid metabolism), which is also found, among others, in cacti. The plants close the stomata of their leaves on hot, dry days and ...
The incandescent orange flowers of the California poppy light up meadows across the Golden State. The fact that this one species is found from hot, dry San Diego all the way to the cool, rainy Klamath ...
Plants have developed multiple morphological, physiological and molecular strategies to cope with adverse environmental conditions. Extremophile plants, however, are unique in that they likely evolved ...
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 ...
Johanna Schmitt, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, is a plant geneticist and evolutionary ecologist. (Gregory Urquiaga/UC Davis) How can plants adapt to their environment, and how will ...

One day, all of Earth's plants will disappear. Scientists think they know when
New research suggests plants on Earth could survive for nearly another two billion years — far longer than previously ...
"It's really important to look across the plant kingdom because plants have solved so many problems already. Why not read their genomes like a book and try to understand it and solve the problems ...
