Global warming and mass extinctions: What we can learn from plants from the last ice age

Global warming is producing a rapid loss of plant species — according to estimates, roughly 600 plant species have died out since 1750 — twice the number of animal species lost. But which species are hit hardest? And how does altered biodiversity actually affect interactions between plants? Experts from the Alfred Wegener Institute have tackled […]

It’s Been One Year Since Wildfires Devastated Los Angeles. What Have We Learned? – State of the Planet

Aftermath of the Altadena fire. Photo: Ralph Allison Loar The wildfires that ravaged Los Angeles a year ago were among the worst in California’s history. They were exacerbated by persistent drought, a buildup of vegetation and Santa Ana winds which, at times, exceeded 80 mph. The most damaging fires, which reduced Altadena and Pacific Palisades to ashes, […]

When the oceans died and life changed forever

Around 445 million years ago, Earth underwent a dramatic transformation that reshaped the future of life. In a remarkably short geological period, massive glaciers spread across the southern supercontinent Gondwana. As ice locked up water, vast shallow seas dried out, triggering an “icehouse climate” and radically altering ocean chemistry. The result was catastrophic. Roughly 85% […]

Exploring PDR Gene Family and miRNAs in Wheat

In a groundbreaking study that promises to shed light on the intricate genetic adaptations of wheat, researchers have conducted a genome-wide analysis of the pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) gene family. This pioneering research, spearheaded by a team of scientists including M.S. Kesawat, B.S. Kherawat, and M.L. Reager, aims to uncover the multifaceted roles these genes […]
