Scientists wield CRISPR to gene hack Venus flytraps, revealing trigger hair genes assist but don't solely account for these crafty carnivores' snapping traps.

Genetic testing and leaf measurements uncover five lineages of Brazil's iconic but endangered national tree pau-brasil, signalling undiscovered diversity and an urgent need to preserve the evolutionary breadth in the wild before it's too late.

A guide to combining ecophysiological and genomic models.

Scientists have discovered why uranium contamination is harmful to plants, slowing down efforts to clean up polluted soil.

Assessing the reliability of root water uptake simulations

The parasitic dodder weed doesn't just sap soybean's strength alone - it lets in fungal gatecrashers like Alternaria too, despite soybean's attempts to biochemically barricade its roots with flavonoids.

Plants at the edge of populations have to share genes with more distant neighbours to produce offspring, and that can have benefits.

Alpine plants, according to a recent study, are more at risk from prolonged heatwaves than previously thought, as extended heat exposure lowers the temperature at which critical damage occurs.

Plants have an amazing ability to remember and adapt to different environments, which helps them survive and grow better, and scientists are using different scientific approaches to understand how this works, unlocking the secrets of nature.

Brighter light and a bit of sugar could be the formula for keeping your roses fresh for longer, as per new scientific findings.

Innovative biosensor technology has shed light on how plants react to low humidity, revealing that the leaves signal the roots to grow and find water.

Plants are known to emit sounds and respond to light changes in their surroundings. Now, a recent study suggests they can perceive organic compounds present in the air, resembling animals’ sense of smell.
