Adaptations of Plants In Deserts Deserts are too dry and hot to imagine life in them. Despite these arid conditions, few plants have adapted to thrive here. The spines on cacti help prevent excessive loss of water Succulents are such plants which can store water in their modified stems and ...
The mutualistic symbioses between plants and mycorrhizal fungi are widespread in forest communities, playing crucial roles in regulating plant interspecific competition, community structure, succession, as well as ecosystem function and stability. However, previous studies primarily focused on how mycorrhizal ...

Forest trees are efficient carbon sinks and play an increasingly leading role in the global carbon cycle and in combating climate change and global warming10,21. However, they are particularly vulnerable to maladaptation owing to their long generation times, for which climate change is likely to ha...
of plants to AM inoculation where a) soils are of the same origin as the plant, and/or b) soils are of the same origin as the fungus. Local soil type and fertility are likely to play a key role in plant adaptation to mycorrhizal fungi given the central role of mycorrhizal symbioses ...
Local adaptation is a key evolutionary process that enhances the growth of plants in their native habitat compared to non-native habitats, resulting in patterns of adaptive genetic variation across the entire geographic range of the species. The study of population adaptation to local environments and...

They found the same polymorphisms involved in one and different polymorph- isms within the same genomic region in the two other candidates. An important question is whether the limited overlap often observed is testimony of a poor performance (i.e., high rate of false positives) of the methods...
The influence of this changed perspective on the adaptation of plants to water deficits is discussed. In particular, the importance of the adaptation of roots to water deficits is highlighted and the need for more studies on the interaction between the shoot and the root is emphasized. 展开 ...
