Plants are consistently threatened by various types of abiotic stress. Strides have been made over the past couple of decades in understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate plant responses to ...

The field of plant epigenetics is increasingly recognized for its crucial role in mediating plant responses to diverse environmental stressors intensified ...

In the field of plant biology, a growing body of evidence shows that plants possess the remarkable ability to “remember” previous encounters with ...

The National Science Foundation has awarded a $1.1 million grant to Purdue University’s Gyeong Mee Yoon to research how plants acclimate to environmental stress. Her findings could have implications ...

Plants first took root on Earth some 500 million years ago, surviving and adapting as Father Time and Mother Nature have walked hand in hand. Some plants have defended themselves against animals by ...

For decades, ever since biologists recognized the potential environmental harms from climate change, they have worried that plants will not be able to evolve fast enough to adapt to a rapidly warming ...

UC Riverside scientists have significantly advanced the race to control plant responses to temperature on a rapidly warming planet. Key to this breakthrough is miRNA, a molecule nearly 200,000 times ...
