How “The Week in Botany” works
I’ve changed the system for sending the emails out for The Week in Botany, so I thought now was a good time to revisit how

Tracking down the DNA for salt removal in a rice leaf sheath
The ability for salt removal at the leaf sheath level is considered to be one of the major mechanisms associated with salt tolerance in rice
Close Encounters
Nectar thieves prefer daylight robbery
Displaying flowers in light rather than shadow should help them attract pollinators, but a good display can also attract thieves.
Close Encounters
