Mechanism to adapt to cold temperatures of plants

US scientists have recently discovered the development mechanism of flowering plants, which can help them survive in cold weather conditions.

According to Nature World News, the team identified three mechanisms to help plant species survive the cold winter . To avoid colds, some plants choose defoliation , stopping the process of transporting water from the roots to the leaves, and will develop new leaves and restore the water transport process when the temperature is warmer.

Other plants protect themselves through the winter by narrowing the water transporting cells, streamlining the plant's plumbing and avoiding freezing in the winter. Meanwhile, many species avoid the risk of being cold by hiding in the shape of nuts or tubers.

During the study, scientists from Columbia's Department of Arts and Sciences, George Washington University, and colleagues used data to track the evolution and evolution of more than 32,000 species of flowering plants. .

Science Daily quoted Jeremy Beaulieu of the University of Tennessee, a member of the research team, saying evidence of fossils and weather data shows that the first flowering plants on Earth lived. In tropical environments, there is a warmer temperature.

During development or when introduced in cold areas, these plants have evolved in many ways to adapt to low temperature conditions.

Unlike animals, plants cannot move to avoid cold or self-heating to keep the body warm. This research has helped scientists understand how plants evolved and evolved many years ago, helping them adapt to conditions in the cold regions of the world.
