A team from the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology of Plants (IBMCP), a mixed center of the Higher Council of Scientific Research (CSIC) and the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), has developed a study that determines the key role of BDH protein in the correct growth of plants, due to its effect on a process that organizes genetic material within cells. In addition, the team has used artificial intelligence to verify that the struct…

Genetic secret revealed for successful climate adaptation in plants

Groundbreaking new study has identified DNA underpinnings responsible for whether a species is well equipped to change with its environment.  The research was undertaken by Gregor Mendel Institute [GMI] of Molecular Plant Biology, former GMI group lead Kelly Swarts, now of Sweden’s Umeå Plant Science Centre, and Masaki Shimamura at Hiroshima University. First appearing in Current Biology last week, the analysis has wanted to understand how genet…

Diversity and genetic basis of hydropatterning in inbred maize lines

For more than a hundred years, plant biologists have been fascinated by how plants sense and respond to environments that are spatially and temporally heterogenous. Many of these responses occur through the remarkable developmental plasticity of plant growth, such as phototropism and photomorphogenesis. Below ground, root growth and branching patterns as well as root hair formation are highly… Source
