Plants & People
Results-based agri-environmental payment schemes (RBAPSs) successfully boost plant diversity, nurture pollinator interactions, and fortify ecological stability in a new Irish study.
Ecosystems
Zettlemoyer’s study casts a new light on plant conservation, illustrating the power of a holistic, multifactorial examination of stressors.
Cells, Genes & Molecules
Hybrid Douglas-fir trees, with mixed ancestry from coastal and interior varieties, may offer greater resilience to climate change due to their higher water use efficiency and heat tolerance, making them a better choice for reforestation efforts.
Close Encounters
A flower has found a shortcut to attracting males through sexual deception.
Cells, Genes & Molecules
Water Hyacinths can help clean up polluted water when grown in artificial wetlands, but nanoplastic pollution could dramatically reduce their efficiency.
Growth & Development
Analysis of 31 tropical woody species with spines on their trunk has uncovered new explanations for the presence of spines on trees.
Growth & Development
If a plant wants to produce a clone of itself, then it’s usually best to keep the new shoots close.
Growth & Development
It’s not enough to have phosophorus in the soil, plants have to be able to use it. A new study examines how salinity interacts with the ability to take up phosphorus.
Growth & Development
Genes candidatos y haplotipos favorables pueden facilitar los esfuerzos de mejoramiento basado en marcadores para mejorar la eficiencia del uso de fósforo en B. napus.
Cells, Genes & Molecules
The phylogenetic pattern in phytolith shape was successfully revealed by applying geometric morphometrics to 2D phytolith shape outlines, strengthening the potential of phytoliths to track the evolutionary history and paleoecology of grasses.
Growth & Development
Non-cylindrical stems have evolved multiple times within climbing plants and are a common climbing mechanism, aiding the climbers in anchoring to other plants or surfaces in search of light.
Cells, Genes & Molecules
This study sheds light on the evolution of two endemic juniper species from the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau and their responses to Quaternary climate fluctuations
