As the climate warms, shifts in temperature and water availability, affects competition and interaction among native and exotic plant species in Southern British Columbia.

Hu and team reveal a rich diversity of chromosome counts in the Rhododendron genus, potentially reshaping understanding of species diversification and offering crucial insights for biodiversity conservation.

Sarah Mathura's new study charts a vital path to understanding sweet potato growth and boosting its yield, potentially revolutionising food security in developing countries.

Syntrichia mosses, masters of water management, exhibit a range of diverse strategies for conducting and storing water.

Zettlemoyer's study casts a new light on plant conservation, illustrating the power of a holistic, multifactorial examination of stressors.

Research by Ngo and colleagues illustrates how carefully managing the use of organic and inorganic phosphorus and nitrogen sources can increase tomato yield and potentially contribute to more sustainable agriculture.

Scientists studied how plants in the Amazonian savannas survive in dry conditions. They found that different plants have unique ways of persisting in this challenging environment, like having thick leaves or special structures in their branches, which help them grow in this unique ecosystem.

One way to preserve plants suffering from rising temperatures is to relocate them in new areas that have become suitable for them. But when a plant grows in the sands of a harsh desert, you don't want that habitat to expand.

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.

A new approach to understanding the impact of weeds on crop yield has emerged, revealing that their effects are not solely due to competition for resources but rather are a result of how weeds alter the developmental and physiological processes of crops.

Researchers discover that the horticultural plant L. virgatum has higher fitness and broader habitat tolerances than the invasive plant L. salicaria, potentially leading to rapid evolution and adaptation.

Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework to understand how grapevine leaves adjust their structure and function under varying light conditions, revealing that thicker, less porous leaves with specific cell shapes are key to maximizing photosynthesis in high light environments.
