Same plant species, different chemistry

A new science news release highlights that plants of the same species can differ markedly in their chemical makeup. The finding matters for research that treats a species as chemically uniform, since variation within a species can affect studies of medicine, ecology and agriculture. Researchers say recognizing this chemical diversity could change how plant-based compounds are studied and used.

Why now: A newly published research release about chemical variation within plant species is drawing attention from the science community.
