Oxygen atoms in 15‑million‑year‑old giant eggshells reveal how plants reacted to a hotter

Some periods in Earth's history are so different from our own that they may as well belong to another planet. Many people are interested in the age of dinosaurs or the Ice Ages, but it is an intermediate world, the Miocene Epoch—a sort of "in-between" world, geologically speaking

Scientists uncover evolutionary edge behind plant invasions

Plants that become invasive may owe their success to an advantage shaped long before they arrive, according to new research led by King's College London.

Ancient algal defenses against UV may have helped plants conquer land

A new study sheds light on how the ancestors of modern land plants survived one of the most challenging aspects of life outside water: exposure to harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. By examining a microscopic alga closely related to the earliest land plants, researchers have unc

Injectable silk-kudzu hydrogel achieves complete wound closure in laboratory tests

Researchers at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation have developed an injectable hydrogel, a water-based gel material, made from silk proteins and a plant-derived compound. In laboratory tests, the material promoted complete wound closure within 72 hours, suggesting a

These tiny soil microbes could rescue crops from salty farmland

Researchers have discovered that beneficial soil bacteria give plants an unexpected survival advantage in salty soils. Instead of helping plants keep salt out, the microbes stimulate the production of lignin, a natural compound that strengthens roots and makes plants more resilie

Why Europe's rising plant diversity may signal habitat disruption, not ecological recovery

The number of plant species in many ecosystems in Europe has grown rather than shrunk over the last 100 years. However, this is not necessarily cause for celebration, as this local increase is primarily due to generalists and non-native species, which compete with the original na

Some boreal forest species fail to recover even 100 years after clearcutting

Boreal forests are being clear-cut faster than some of their wildlife and plant species can recover, with a few failing to return even 100 years after harvesting, according to University of Alberta-led research.

Rice grown on the moon? Air-to-fertilizer technology helps rice grow in lunar soil simulan

Securing sustainable food supplies is a key challenge for long-term human exploration and potential habitation of the moon. The moon's soil contains no organic material, and essential plant nitrogen sources like ammonia and nitrate are virtually nonexistent.

Houston power plant emerges as dominant source of cloud-forming aerosols

Research by atmospheric scientists at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography and colleagues pinpointed an individual coal-fired power plant in Houston as the main source of particles most likely to encourage the formation of clouds around the metropolitan area.

Tiny ancient fish fossil with preserved brain offers clues to early fish evolution

Over 300 million years ago, a minnow-sized fish died and fell to the bottom of a prehistoric swamp near the village of Trawden, Lancashire, in northwest England. The remains of this tiny fish—known as Trawdenia planti—became fossilized, embedding proof of its existence in a layer
