The adaptations of water lilies include: Strong roots to anchor the plant in the stream bed. ... Adaptations of climbing plants include: Ivy has sticky pads to help it attach to trees.
New research from Northern Arizona University points to the idea that under some conditions, plants can “curate” their microbiomes—selecting good microbes and suppressing harmful ones—to adapt to ...
Some plant species have evolved a water-saving trait called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM). CAM plants like most Tillandsia species -- the most species-rich genus in the pineapple family ...
Genetic heterogeneity facilitates the adaptation process. The conventionally farmed barley also became more genetically uniform over time, meaning that the genetic material in the individual plants ...
