Altitudinal differentiation in water-repellency of bud-wrapping leaves
In rosette-forming plants, rosette leaves locate near the ground, and their upper surfaces are exposed, whereas the opposite surfaces are more exposed for leaves on flowering stems.
Contrasting effects of yeast and bacteria on floral nectar traits
Guests in flowers can make a location more attractive – or can put off pollinators from visiting.
CAM recycling and salt tolerance in Talinum triangulare
Can more water efficient photosynthesis be induced in plants? Montero and colleagues find Talinum triangulare can switch on CAM photosynthesis.
Why are the seed cones of conifers so diverse at pollination?
Wind-pollinated plants rely on the same breezes to deliver pollen. If the problem’s the same for all of them, why do conifers have different shaped cones to catch pollen?
A reassessment of the genome size – invasiveness relationship in reed canary grass
The smaller a plant’s genome, the more likely it is to be invasive? Or so it was thought but newer techniques are casting some doubt on the idea.
Evolution and function of Scots pine aminopropyltransferases
Vuosku and colleagues find an evolutionarily old gymnosperm, Scots pine, has a bifunctional SPDS able to produce both Spd and Spm, while angiosperms seem to depend on separate enzymes in Spd and Spm biosynthesis.
Xylogenesis and IADF formation in Mediterranean softwoods and hardwoods
How do tree growth rings, species and climate interact? A study into xylogenesis in Annals of Botany takes a closer look.
