A new study provides insight into the physiological and genetic control of transpiration in faba bean and opportunities for marker-assisted selection to improve its performance in water-limited environments.
Hybrid Douglas-fir trees, with mixed ancestry from coastal and interior varieties, may offer greater resilience to climate change due to their higher water use efficiency and heat tolerance, making them a better choice for reforestation efforts.
Warming temperatures and land reclamation are causing a significant increase in harmful greenhouse gas emissions from alpine meadows, intensifying the effects of climate change.
Researchers have uncovered the unique structure and function of the S1-type nuclease enzyme DAN1 in the Lance-leaved sundew, Drosera adelae, which aids the carnivorous plant in breaking down prey for nutrient absorption.
