Researchers have discovered that plants benefit from a greater variety of interactions with pollinators and herbivores. Plants that are pollinated by insects and have to defend themselves against ...

Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in understanding how genetic drivers influence the evolution of a specific photosynthesis mechanism in Tillandsia (air plants). This sheds light on the complex ...

A new discovery from researchers at Northeastern University has uncovered previously unknown aspects of plant evolution, with major implications for creating new lifesaving drugs. The researchers' ...

Dozens of plants on a small Japanese island may have shrunk themselves to avoid hungry deer – suggesting that persistent pruning by herbivores could drive the evolution of dwarf plants. Miniaturised ...
