A biologist has found that at least some plant adaptations can occur almost instantaneously, not by a change in DNA sequence, but simply by duplication of existing genetic material. Plants adapt to ...

Plants change their character, or adapt so they can survive in the wild. But understanding about plant adaptations can also guide gardeners in the care and maintenance of our own plants. Two really ...

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 ...

A new study in Current Biology identified genetic variants in Marchantia polymorpha that enable climate adaptation. By integrating genomic and climate data, researchers uncovered genes linked to ...
