More Genome Copies in Switchgrass Linked to More Climate Flexibility and Adaptation

Varieties of switchgrass with different numbers of genome copies use different strategies in adapting to changes in climate and location.

Composite of false colored micrographs of roots from four Brassicaceae plant species this research studied. The research revealed differences in how the stress hormone ABA regulates the growth of tissues in the roots.

‘Extreme’ Plants Grow Faster in the Face of Stress

Comparative genomics reveals physical differences in how a stress hormone regulates growth in plants that can survive extreme environmental conditions.
