VIENNA (ANI) – As climate change accelerates, plants face increasing pressure to adapt to new environmental conditions. This is especially critical for crops, as drought- and heat-resistant plants are ...

Plant hydraulic functioning is a core determinant of how terrestrial vegetation responds to climate change from a functional ...

In the face of rapid climate change, it is important that plants can adapt quickly to new conditions to ensure their survival. Using field experiments and plant genome studies, an international ...

Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in understanding how genetic drivers influence the evolution of a specific photosynthesis mechanism in Tillandsia (air plants). This sheds light on the complex ...

Salinity and drought represent two of the most critical abiotic constraints limiting global crop productivity and threatening food security amid escalating ...

Annals of Botany, Vol. 112, No. 9 (December 2013), pp. 1921-1930 (10 pages) • Background and Aims Local adaptation enables plant species to persist under different environmental conditions.

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 ...

Aquatic plants are specialized evolutionary groups adapted to life in water. They play critical roles as food and medicinal supplies (e.g., lotus root and foxnut) and industrial raw materials (e.g., ...
