Plants survive climate change using genetic variations. Scientists studied Marchantia polymorpha to find key adaptation ...

Hungarian researchers at ELTE Eötvös Loránd University and the HUN-REN Center for Energy Research have shown that the leaves ...

Plants are under immense pressure to adapt to climate change, crucial for crop resilience. A study reveals genetic insights ...

New research has uncovered a surprising silver lining to drought conditions—enhancing the color and quality of grapes by increasing anthocyanin levels through a finely tuned molecular pathway.

This may help plants adapt to water stress under future drought conditions, though more research is needed to tease out the effects on growth. The study reveals that soil and plant water ...

Addressing these challenges requires multifaceted approaches, including making plants more resilient ... which regulates stomatal closure during drought stress, directly inactivates TOT3 through ...

Drought problems will continue to get worse if we don’t start seeing real precipitation soon and through the spring and ...

Plant stress responses describe the suite of molecular and cellular processes that are triggered by the detection by the plant of some form of stress. Stresses can be abiotic, such as drought or ...

Scientists have discovered how plants adapt their root systems in drought conditions to grow steeper into the soil to access deeper water reserves. Plant scientists from the University of Nottingham, ...

The research, led by Dr. Gabriele Nocchi, Ph.D., is a first look at whether distantly related plant species—from sunflowers to poplars—use the same genes to adapt to similar stress.

This adaptation, known as “drought escape,” allows plants to complete ... suggesting that even under stress, the relationship between plants and pollinators remains pivotal. “Our results show that ...

A European research-led consortium has been established to pioneer technologies to improve crop resilience to drought stress ...
