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 ...
A UNIGE research team reveals a genetic mechanism that strengthens the protective barrier in roots and helps plants adapt to arid conditions. Staining of suberin deposits in the roots of 5-day-old ...

Hot enough for ya? We’ve barely turned the page to July, but we’ve had more than our share of relentless heat. Have you ever wondered how plants cope with heat? It’s not as if they can turn on their ...
Phytochemical diversity plays a critical role in determining plant adaptation and fitness, as well as ecosystem functions and services. However, phytochemicals and their ecological adaptations have ...
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 ...
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 ...
Every April for the past decade, systems biologist Rodrigo Gutiérrez has driven 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) to reach one of the driest places on Earth: Chile’s Atacama Desert, parts of which ...
Ph.D. student Zarluis Mijango Ramos reveals some of the bizarre and specialized adaptations plants have developed to allow them to grow in most environments around the globe. Plants are fascinating ...
