Evolution of pollination systems involving edible trichomes in orchids
Edible trichomes have been recorded in several plant families. However, food hairs have not been recorded among the Catasetinae, a subtribe of Orchidaceae. In a recent

Plant biotic interactions and fitness in habitat edges
Habitat variations influence the richness and composition of insect guilds. This affects plant reproduction, which depends upon functional relationships with insects involving both pollination and predation.

Methane emissions from emergent aquatic macrophytes
Aquatic plants can function as conduits for methane from sediment to the air, and thus contribute to the global methane balance. In a recent Editor’s

Arabidopsis gene expression in hypobaria
Extreme hypobaria represents an environment that is mostly outside of the evolutionary experience of terrestrial plants, and yet hypobaria may be a part of plant habitats

Effect of asymmetric warming on plant invasion
Although many studies have documented the effects of global warming on invasive plants, little is known about whether the effects of warming on plant invasion differ

Population-level plasticity drives plant trait variation along elevation
Within a species, plant traits may vary substantially along environmental gradients. However, is such variation (1) consistent across locations and (2) genetic or non-genetic (i.

Stigmatic limitations on reproductive success in a paleotropical tree
Success in reproduction is subject to the successful initiation as well as successful completion of a chain of consecutive events starting from flower formation and ending

Factors driving the global decline of cycad diversity
There is mounting evidence that we have entered the sixth mass extinction period, where species diversity is being lost at an unprecedented rate. Cycads are the

Genetic evaluation of an endemic plant from Patagonia
Oxalis laciniata is endemic to the Patagonia region of South America, inhabiting high mountains and steppe and even growing on the coast. In a recent study
