To address the role of insect herbivores in adaptation of plant populations and the persistence of selection through succession, we manipulated herbivory in a long-term field experiment. We suppressed ...

Plant structural biology sits at the leading edge of research on how plants adapt to abiotic and biotic stresses, ...

Annals of Botany, Vol. 112, No. 9 (December 2013), pp. 1921-1930 (10 pages) • Background and Aims Local adaptation enables plant species to persist under different environmental conditions.

In the face of rapid climate change, it is important that plants can adapt quickly to new conditions to ensure their survival. Using field experiments and plant genome studies, an international ...

Rising temperatures affect the plants that agriculture — and we —depend on. New research sheds light on how plants resist drought. All life forms have to adapt to the environment in which they live. A ...

It is an open question how we can ensure that our crop plants remain productive in a changing climate. Plants are confronted with similar climate adaptation challenges when colonising new regions, as ...
