Synchronization of senescence in Arabidopsis thaliana
Is floral senescence synchronized across accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana?
Growth & Development
Can photosynthetic traits offer insight into the success of a widespread invasive grass?
Johnsongrass has been described as one of the world’s worst weeds, but what makes it so invasive?
Ecosystems
Plant community assembly on restrictive gypsum soils
Do environmental factors influence plant community assembly on restrictive gypsum soils?
Taxonomy & Evolution
Uncovering the evolutionary history of the Potentilla genus
Can new genomic tools help us to understand the evolution of polyploid species?
Ecosystems
Convergent nitrogen–phosphorus scaling relationships in different plant organs
Does a general relationship exist to describe N and P partitioning within and among plant organs?
Computational Models
Individual variation in plant dispersal and fecundity increases rates of spatial spread
The highest increases in spread rates occur when variation in dispersal positively co-varies with fecundity.
Ecosystems
Can epigenetic diversity act as an evolutionary backup for threatened wild plants?
Genetic diversity defines the evolutionary potential of a species, yet mounting evidence suggests that epigenetic diversity could also contribute to adaptation.
Ecosystems
Functional traits restrict plant community assembly at high elevations
Community structure is most likely regulated by both elevation and soil nitrogen availability.

Advancing an interdisciplinary framework to study seed dispersal ecology
Although dispersal is generally viewed as a crucial determinant for the fitness of any organism, our understanding of its role in the persistence and spread of

Plant-mSubP: a machine learning tool to predict single- and multi-target protein subcellular localisation
Plant cells are three-dimensional spaces composed of several compartments, each with its own physicochemical environment and function. The subcellular localisation of proteins, the cell’s

Invasion, isolation and evolution shape population genetic structure in Campanula rotundifolia
The genes of Harebell populations show the history of post-glacial colonisation.

The importance of quantitative trait differentiation in habitat restoration
Successful restoration of habitats relies on the sourcing of seed appropriate to the restoration environment. The use of non-adapted genotypes can compromise the long-term
