How Plants Learnt To Protect Themselves From UV Rays
✦AI Summary
Researchers from the University of Geneva have identified how early land plants evolved mechanisms to protect themselves from harmful UV-B radiation. The study focuses on the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha to understand the genetic pathways of light stress adaptation.
Why it matters
Understanding plant adaptation to UV radiation is critical for agricultural resilience in the face of climate change.
A UNIGE team traces the evolutionary history of plant mechanisms that protect against UV-B radiation.
