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 ...

For each plot, community-mean values (unweighted for the abundance of species) of continuous traits were calculated as an indicator of the mean response of the plant community to the site conditions.

The yellow monkeyflower, an unassuming little plant that lives as both a perennial on the foggy coasts of the Pacific Northwest and a dry-land annual hundreds of miles inland, harbors a significant ...

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 ...
