Some plants stay healthy even when a key nutrient drops. New research explains the root and cell tricks that help plants ...

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 ...

Higher yields, greater resilience to climatic changes or diseases—the demands on crop plants are constantly growing. To ...

Researchers have published a simple trick that improves the accuracy of techniques that help us understand how external variables -- such as temperature -- affect gene activity in plants. Researchers ...

Researchers from the University of Ottawa have discovered that plants may be able to control the genetics of their intimate root symbionts - the organism with which they live in symbiosis - thereby ...

As the human population continues to explode, the need for efficient crop growth also expands. While there have been great strides in plant genetics and modification, there is still much to be learned ...

"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 ...

Without bumble bees, a flowering plant that can self-pollinate lost substantial genetic variation within only nine generations, an experimental study found. A group of 'selfing' monkeyflower plants ...
