The AoBP Awards for Emerging Voices in Botany
Providing early career researchers with a new platform to have their voices heard and to quash the inequity in academic publishing.
Cells, Genes & Molecules
Phylogeography of the invasive Brazilian peppertree in South Africa
Can a better understanding of the origins of the invasive tree species Schinus terebinthifolia in South Africa help to inform its management?
Ecosystems
Poor acclimation to drought in subalpine forest tree seedlings
How do subalpine fir and Engelmann spruce seedlings respond to experimental drought when grown under field conditions?
Plants & People
Can field botany be effectively taught as a distance course?
COVID-19 forced many academics to teach remotely; for field botany this required a complete rethink of how such a course could be taught.
Ecosystems
Photochemical performance of bunchgrass reproductive structures
How does drought influence the photochemical performance of reproductive structures of native and exotic bunchgrasses of the Great Basin?
Growth & Development
Interactive effects of drought and pollen intensity on seed production
Seed production of flowering plants is influenced by water availability and pollen deposition, but is there an interaction between these factors?
Growth & Development
Transgenerational effects of heat stress in Arabidopsis thaliana
Heat stress can have transgenerational effects on a plant’s offspring but how important are the timing and frequency of these events?
Taxonomy & Evolution
Morphological characterisation of trichomes
Can we use electron microscopy and statistical analyses to better classify the trichomes of the large plant genus Solanum?
Ecosystems
Roles of wood anatomical traits in the coexistence of Mexican oak species
Can wood anatomical traits of oak species explain their coexistence along environmental gradients in the mountains of Mexico?
Growth & Development
Computer vision for phenotyping of photomorphogenesis
Can high-resolution imaging and computational processing be used to quantify variation in photomorphogenesis among Arabidopsis seedlings?
Computational Models
Principles of resilient coding for plant ecophysiologists
Tired: Remembering if ‘ACi_sol_C_1.xlsx’ or ‘ACi_sol_D_v3.xlsx’ has correct parameter estimates. Wired: Using reproducible, scalable code to analyse data.
Ecosystems
Estimating genetic variation in seed collections using seed morphology
Can variation in seed morphological traits allow us to estimate genetic variation in seed banks of vulnerable plant species?
