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 ...

Plants adapt genetically over time to the special conditions of organic farming. This has been demonstrated in a long-term study conducted at the University of Bonn. The researchers planted barley ...

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 heretofore unknown molecular mechanism helps plants save water in extreme drought and intense sunlight. A research team at ...

It was suggested that the ability of a plant to adjust or adapt to an environment depends upon the organism not having a deficiency of some essential enzyme or metabolite at the new environment. In ...

Adaptive differentiation evolves as a result of spatially varying selection (Garcia-Ramos and Kirkpatrick, 1997; Kirkpatrick and Barton, 1997; Doebeli and Dieckmann, 2003) and is usually detected by ...

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 ...

Which plant hormones are critical in responding to drought conditions? How do plant hormone responses adjust to environmental ...

Intellectually, I always realize summer is coming. But, I never actually believe in it until the temperatures soar and then, suddenly, I miss spring. Heat not only affects us, it also affects plants.

In Central California, a narrow, 15-mile wide belt of the Southern Sierra Nevada hosts an ecosystem unlike any other in the world. It’s a climatic niche — vast reserves of groundwater under deep, ...
