Spirodela polyrhiza and crop-related species as our model systems. Currently, we are working on three main topics: 1) the mechanisms involved in plant adaptation to recent human-related environmental ...

Plants adapt in many ways so that they survive in different habitats. These adaptations exist because they give a survival advantage. Adaptations include the ability to survive in dry conditions ...

Understanding how plants naturally adapt to different local conditions is key to predicting their response to climate change, and can help produce more resilient crops. A recent study provides new ...

To adapt to dynamic light environments, plants have evolved sophisticated light-signaling mechanisms. Epigenetic modifications, particularly histone covalent modifications, play a crucial role in ...

Research in the Bowman lab focused on multiple areas of plant ecology, primarily on the interactions between plants and their resources, ranging from plant adaptations to low ... a result the alpine ...

Todd Michael, Salk Institute for Biological Studies Unlike animals which can migrate to find more hospitable conditions, plants are largely rooted in place. Their dispersal is slow and limited, so ...
