Scientists mapped genetic variants linked to plant climate adaptation ... Arabidopsis thaliana, for example, thrives in regions as climatically distinct as Sweden and Italy. Understanding how plants ...

The genetic material of plants, animals and humans is well protected in the nucleus of each cell and stores all the information that forms an organism. For example, information about the size or ...

But although excellent plant systems such as maize existed ... mechanisms of biological processes, a striking example being the genetic networks that integrate environmental signals, such as ...

Farmers also use plants’ genetic flexibility to mash up different varieties to produce useful hybrids. Wheat, for example, has three separate pairs of chromosomes because three types were ...

Chinese researchers have developed a technology that sheds light on how the three-dimensional (3D) organization of plant ...

Fortunately, plants can adapt remarkably well to diverse environments and climates: Arabidopsis thaliana, for example ... provides new insight into the genetic underpinnings of plant climate ...

When an altered form of a virus is injected into a banana sapling, the virus' genetic material quickly becomes a permanent part of the plant's cells ... products. For example, Australian ...

Genetics-based research could help identify ... but also other organisms that influence plant communities. For example, changing conditions may increase pest and pathogen outbreaks or allow ...

for example, the plants will rely most on those alleles that will protect them. The variability of the environmental forces acting on the plants seems to lead to greater genetic heterogeneity. “As a ...

Another way of looking at this is that there was a disconnect, at an intermediate stage, between our understanding of plant genetics and a plant's characteristics. Scientists first sequenced corn ...

For example, when a newly evolved form of stem ... of the availability of the N.P.G.S.’s extensive collections of plant genetic resources. Such collections are the raw materials for plant ...
