More than 2.3 million ancient genetic switches discovered in plants reveal how key growth controls endured 300 million years ...
A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant genome evolution—a discovery that could pave the way for more precise ...
Researchers uncovered millions of ancient plant DNA switches—some older than flowering plants themselves—revealing a hidden evolutionary blueprint stretching back 400 million years. Most people have ...
Almost every plant we eat has a flower, and flowering plants populate every corner of the planet. But many questions remain about how and when this vast group emerged throughout the history of life on ...
An international team of researchers has uncovered a remarkable genetic phenomenon in lycophytes, which are similar to ferns and among the oldest land plants. Their study reveals that these plants ...

What was the very first plant in the world?
Long before dinosaurs roamed the land, Earth looked very different from the planet we know today. Around 500 million years ...
Without plants on land, humans could not live on Earth. From mosses to ferns to grasses to trees, plants are our food, fodder and timber. All this diversity emerged from an algal ancestor that ...
The evolutionary history and phylogenetic relationships of seed plants have long captivated botanists and palaeobiologists alike. Recent investigations elucidate the mechanisms underlying key ...
Liverwort uses hair-like rhizoids to collect phosphorus from its surroundings and deliver it to where it is needed. This Kobe University discovery sheds light on the evolution of one of the most ...
This volume is based on the National Academy of Sciences′ Colloquium on the Variation and Evolution in Plants and Microorganisms: Toward a New Synthesis 50 Years after Stebbins. The articles appearing ...
Plants and the animals that eat them have evolved together in fascinating ways, creating a dynamic interplay of survival strategies. Many plants have developed physical and chemical defenses to fend ...
