Are you using callipers and microscopes to measure seeds? Well, not anymore! Traitor comes to the rescue of seed scientists and technicians.

Chiminazzo and colleagues shed light on the intriguing survival strategies of woody plants in fire-prone ecosystems, using the Brazilian Cerrado as an example.

Scientists reveal how wheat's unique hydraulic system can cleverly reroute water supply to safeguard its reproduction during severe water shortages.

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.

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.

Some Brazilian Cyperaceae are the fastest post-fire bloomers in the world!

Forest herbs adapt to climate change by adjusting their growth patterns within individual plants, which helps them better capture light and conserve water in response to environmental challenges like drought and shading.

Scientists discover how deepwater rice thrives during floods, providing hope for a sustainable food supply in a changing climate.

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.

The study reveals that a plant's current nutrient environment has a stronger influence on its traits than the nutrient environment of its ancestors, shedding light on how plants adapt and evolve under changing conditions.
