Current technologies have changed biology into a data-intensive field and significantly
increased our understanding of signal transduction pathways in plants. However, global …

Recent evidence sheds light on the peculiar type of plant intelligence. Plants have
developed complex molecular networks that allow them to remember, choose, and make …

This study compiles and summarizes the existing knowledge about observed and projected
impacts of climate change on forests in Europe. Forests will have to adapt not only to …

Cell and tissue plant cultures are used either to save vulnerable species from extinction or to
multiply valuable genotypes, or both, and are widely applied for economically important …

Plant epigenetics has recently gained unprecedented interest, not only as a subject of basic
research but also as a possible new source of beneficial traits for plant breeding. We discuss …

A history of exposure to a range of different types of stress alters subsequent plant
responses. The process of priming or hardening involves prior exposure to a biotic or an …

Genomics research is generating new tools, such as functional molecular markers and
informatics, as well as new knowledge about statistics and inheritance phenomena that …

Fully drought-resistant crop plants would be beneficial, but selection breeding has not
produced them. Genetic modification of species by introduction of very many genes is …

Over the past twenty years conservation genetics has progressed from being mainly a theory-
based field of population biology to a full-grown empirical discipline. Technological …

Epigenetic factors determine responses to internal and external stimuli in eukaryotic
organisms. Whether and how environmental conditions feed back to the epigenetic …
