They beautified it with plants.

It captures the energy which plants produce during photosynthesis, a process of converting sunlight into energy.

Some desalination plants exist where feasible, but they are costly to run and can need constant repairs.

The slugs can manufacture chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants that captures energy from sunlight, and hold these genes within their body.

When we think of animals and plants, we have a pretty good way of dividing them into two distinct groups: one converts sunlight into energy and the other has to eat food to make its energy.

In addition, at that time a greater percentage of homes and electrical plants were run on petroleum than today.

The plant's carbon-capture technologies would serve as a pilot project for other new coal-burning plants.

David Card, an economist at UC Berkeley, notes that the ones who profit most directly from immigrants' low-cost labor are businesses and employers – meatpacking plants in Nebraska, for instance, or agricultural businesses in California.

They found fossils of microscopic marine plants which suggest that the region was once open ocean not solid ice.

"The yield is never going to be high," Farrant says, so these plants will be targeted not at Iowa farmers trying to squeeze more cash out of high-yield fields, but subsistence farmers who need help to survive a drought like the present one in South Africa

Just like medical researchers use rats to test ideas for human medical treatments, botanists use plants that are relatively easy to grow in a lab or greenhouse setting to test their ideas for related species.

Many different kinds of plants have developed tactics to weather dry spells.

Many of them are the same that regulate how seeds become dryness-tolerant while still attached to their parent plants.

Native plants are coming back, and the fox once again bound about carefree.

Now they are trying to figure out what molecular signaling processes activate those seed-building genes in resurrection plants—and how to reproduce them in crops.

Resurrection plants, defined as those capable of recovering from holding less than 0.1 grams of water per gram of dry mass, are different.

She is hard at work finding a way to take traits from rare wild plants that adapt to extreme dry weather and use them in food crops.

Whether it is a transition from imported to domestic oil or from coal-powered electricity production to natural-gas power plants, politicians love to talk big.

Yet on these and similar formations in deserts around the world, a few fierce plants have adapted to endure under ever-changing conditions.
