While humans can escape the heat by seeking shade or shedding layers, plants remain rooted in place. So how do they survive ...

When a heat wave hits, plants may show the impact. Most plants grow best in temperatures ranging from 59°–86°F. When temperatures above 90°F are sustained for long periods, plant growth ...

Plants, like other organisms, can be severely affected by heat stress. To increase their chances of survival, they activate the heat shock response, a molecular pathway also employed by human and ...

Heat waves have been occurring more frequently, have been hotter, and have been lasting longer with severe consequences not only for humans and animals but also for plants. “Heat stress can negatively ...

In The Plant Cell, UMass Amherst molecular biologist Elizabeth Vierling reports that heat-stressed plants not only need to produce new proteins to survive the stress, they need to make them right ...

If your plants are feeling the effect of a summer heatwave, this simple home hack restores them to full health.

Plants, like other organisms, can be severely affected by heat stress. To increase their chances of survival, they activate the heat shock response, a molecular pathway also employed by human and ...

Apply a balanced rose fertilizer or high-potassium feed after the first major bloom period to fuel the next round of flowers.

You can’t air-condition your yard to help heat-stressed plants, but you can take heat-busting measures such as mulching bare soil, watering as needed (which also cools the soil), and choosing ...

Plants under heat stress are weakened, and we typically see an increase in disease and insect problems in the mid- to late-summer. Keep your eye out for insect pests such as mealybugs, ...

Heat-stressed plants not only need to produce new proteins to survive the stress, they need to make them right away, explain researchers. Share: Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email.
