UNIVERSITY PARK, Pennsylvania, July 31 -- Pennsylvania State University issued the following news:
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. Grasses cover about 40% of the Earth's land surface, thriving in a multitude of environments. The evolutionary success of this plant family, which includes rice, maize, wheat and bamboo, likely results from a history of whole-genome duplications, according to a new analysis led by Penn State biologists.
