A rare fossil plant reveals how early plants moved water and food, helping to explain the secrets of tree growth.

Vascular plants that moved back into the water did not simply shed complexity and shrink their genomes. New genomic work shows that many aquatic lineages instead rewire and expand key gene families, ...

A research team has revealed the molecular steps that led to the emergence of this plant-specific vacuolar transport system. Their work shows that the acquisition of this pathway was driven by the ...

This illustration shows how the membrane trafficking protein VAMP72 gradually changed during plant evolution to give rise to VAMP727, which functions in transporting storage proteins to vacuoles. The ...
