Pamela Medina van Berkum collects volatile organic compounds from communities and individual plants in the field at the Jena Experiment field site (https://the-jena-experiment.de/). In her experiments ...
Plants communicate through volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that help them respond to herbivorous pest attacks. This review explored the mechanisms behind these plant communications and their ...

One-of-a-kind experiment tracks plant evolution in response to climate change at 30 sites worldwide
For decades, ever since biologists recognized the potential environmental harms from climate change, they have worried that plants will not be able to evolve fast enough to adapt to a rapidly warming ...
An international team of researchers planted the same genetic lines of Arabidopsis thaliana in outdoor gardens stretching from North America to the Levant, then let natural selection run its course ...
The Jena Experiment provided the ideal conditions for our research," says first author Pamela Medina van Berkum. The biggest challenge in outdoor experiments is measuring the volatile compounds ...
One-of-a-kind experiment tracked plant evolution in response to climate change at 30 sites worldwide
In a one-of-a-kind experiment led by UC Berkeley researchers, biologists in Europe, the Middle East and U.S. planted 360 small plots of Arabidopsis (above) in various types of climates — from alpine ...
