Researchers now present the results of a unique project on the evolution of plants. Using genetic data from 1,147 species the team created the most comprehensive evolutionary tree for green plants ...

The sequencing of its genome can help better understand the evolution of these plants, which has led to an incredible diversity of more than 300,000 species identified today. The sole survivor of ...

I knew that they originated a long time ago, although they were not the first plants to live on land. But seeing this modern specimen made me think about the evolution of early land plants and the ...

A team of scientists examined what makes Earth plants green, then modeled the evolution of plants on worlds with different kinds of stars or atmospheres. The answers they came up with could help ...

These new insights into the evolution of genetic pathways governing branching were published in Current Biology. Forests are made of multi-layered canopies in which trees and other plants compete ...

Lasers, bubbles and evolution Enter Craig Brodersen of Yale University with a newly developed microscope-guided laser. It can create microscopic bubbles inside the individual cells that operate ...
