How a bromeliad plant finds sunlight and water in the tropical rainforest.

A recent study provides new insight into the genetic underpinnings of plant climate adaptation. By combining population genetics and global climate data, the researchers identified genetic ...

Few trees can find a way to survive in the liminal space where dry land meets the sea. Mangroves are the exception.

The interdependence of multiple traits allows plants to perform multiple functions. Acquiring an accurate representation of the interdependence of plant traits could advance our understanding of the ...

This review summarizes the available data and our current understanding of isoprenoid emissions from tropical plant species and the spatial and temporal variation in emissions, which are strongly ...

New data from a non-profit reveals that humans have degraded or destroyed roughly two-thirds of the world’s original tropical rainforest cover - raising alarm that a key natural buffer against ...

A breakthrough study focusing on Marchantia polymorpha uncovers genetic blueprints of plant climate adaptation through a blend of population genetics and climate data. The study deciphered the ...

Every plant species has a unique way of responding to environmental stress. Some grow deeper roots to access water, while others alter their reproductive cycles to match changing seasons. These ...
