Cells, Genes & Molecules
Transferring annotation information between species through machine learning
A new machine learning strategy allows genomic knowledge to be transferred from information-rich to information-poor species.
Cells, Genes & Molecules
Control of the stomatal response to VPD in sunflower
Stomata close in response to increasing VPD but what is the mechanism responsible for this response?
Ecosystems
View from the sky sees new hope for restoring degraded forests
Degraded tropical forests are not lost causes. Restoration could help capture carbon and aid ecosystem recovery.
Close Encounters
Kicking a plant whilst it’s down – caterpillar herbivory on nematode infested plants
Does the impact of above-ground herbivory on root-knot nematode-induced responses depend on the nematode’s life cycle stage?
Growth & Development
3D aquatic plant carnivory by the waterwheel plant and deformed snap-traps
The research contributes to the understanding of a complex, fast and reversible underwater plant movement
Plants & People
Finding Meaning in the Undergraduate Research Experience
Meet them where they’re at, and show them they’re making an impact, say speakers.
Cells, Genes & Molecules
A new tool for discovering transcriptional regulators of co-expressed genes
TF DEACoN is an in silico “screen” to identify candidate transcription factors using a public database.
Plants & People
Symposium looks at new frontiers in collecting & collections
Collections may be poised for a “renaissance of biodiversity specimen collecting.”

Tales of 100 trees
A new book explores how trees have changed the way we live.
Growth & Development
Has agricultural intensification impacted maize root traits?
How have the roots of maize changed since the introduction of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser in the 1940s?
Ecosystems
A carnivorous plant suffers poisoning from microplastics
Botanists identify microplastics entering traps as reducing the growth of a carnivorous plant.
Close Encounters
Buckleria paludum, the caterpillar that has a taste for danger
Far from being a victim, the caterpillar of Buckleria paludum feeds on carnivorous plants. But how?
