University of Illinois Chicago: Pressed plants reveal living genetic messages, decades later . “In a new study, researchers from the University of Illinois Chicago extracted viable RNA, the essential messenger of genetic information, from plants from museum collections. This research breakthrough will make it possible for scientists to study plant evolution, gene regulation and adaptation using […]

🔬 Takeaway: The evolution of vascular systems in early seed plants was far more complex than previously thought, involving multiple adaptive modifications and transitional stages. Ancient plant evolution was anything but simple. 🌱 (9/9)

🌸Takeaway: In Aquilegia, nectar-collecting pollinators appear to be the main evolutionary drivers of floral form, perhaps because they’re more efficient pollinators. (9/9)
