Amazon deforestation linked to long distance climate warming

New research reveals that deforestation in the Amazon not only warms immediate surroundings but also impacts areas up to 100 kilometers away. Analyzing data from 2001 to 2020, the study links regional forest loss to a significant temperature rise—4.4 °C…

Secrets of Plant Cell Communication

Plants employ plasmodesmata for cell communication, but protein targeting to these structures is poorly understood. Studying PDLP5 and related proteins, researchers discovered unconventional targeting signals in their extracellular regions, crucial for regulating viral movement. New study aims to uncover the…

Does Urbanization Trigger Plant Evolution?

Urban environments have become hotspots for understanding how rapid evolution occurs in response to extreme environmental changes. These habitats exert selective pressures on resident organisms that impact their evolutionary trajectories. Recently, researchers from Japan investigated how the creeping woodsorrel plant…
