Discovering the genetics of climate adaptation 

Understanding how plants adapt to different environments is crucial for addressing climate change. A new study by the groups of Liam Dolan and Frédéric Berger at the Gregor Mendel Institute (GMI) of Molecular Plant Biology links climate data with genetic variation, revealing how Marchantia polymorpha adapts to different climates.
