Between Drought and Rain: How a Tropical Moss Teaches Us To Survive in an Increasingly Unstable Climate
A tiny tropical moss defies expectations by suffering more cell damage during the rainy season than the dry. Now scientists think they know why.
From concrete jungles to living carpets: how moss on bioreceptive concrete can transform our cities
When you imagine a city of the future, do you still picture “concrete jungle”? A novel study shows how concrete can become a living surface for mosses.
Cannabinoids Beyond Cannabis: The Hidden Potential of Liverworts
Liverworts are emerging as unexpected sources of cannabinoid-like compounds with promising anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
Miniature, Yet Fire-Resilient: What Mosses Can Teach Us on a Warming Planet?
In the Cangas, where the soil boils under the sun and fire turns everything into ash, tiny mosses found their way to endure.
The Seed Dispersal Crisis
We often hear about species populations declining. But what about the services that those species provide? One of the most remarkable is seed dispersal. Last year, Mendes and colleagues published an article in Science shedding light on the conservation status of seed dispersal in Europe.
Microscopic Engineers: the Beads that Carry the Future of Ecological Restoration
A Brazilian team develops a scalable bioengineering method using alginate beads to deliver mosses, algae, and cyanobacteria for restoring degraded soils.
Unlocking crop efficiency: A practical guide for Rubisco Assays
Researchers describe a new method for accurately measuring the activation state and quantity of Rubisco.
Wolffia globosa and its potential for space agriculture
Have you ever wondered what space food looks like? A recent study published in Scientific Reports by Romano and collaborators, explores the adaptive responses of duckweed to space-simulated conditions and confirms its potential as a sustainable food source for space missions.
Interpreting Elatinaceae’s Tiny Flowers in The Evolutionary Saga of Malpighiales
To understand the evolution of the flowers of a megadiverse group, Brazilian researchers had to delve into the floral anatomy of a family whose position on the evolutionary tree of plants has been controversial.
