Computational Models
Local adaptation is common but not universal in plants and results from the interplay of gene flow with natural selection. Gene flow can increase local genetic
Taxonomy & Evolution
The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is extremely rich in species, but why? One recent explanation is the mountain‐geobiodiversity hypothesis (MGH) by Mosbrugger et al. The
Computational Models
L-Cucumber’s leaf prototype mimics leaf shape of stressed plants.
Ecosystems
Oaks are the dominant species of tree in many Mediterranean forests. However, the climate of the Mediterranean basin is predicted to change dramatically. Will the make-
Computational Models
Making a realistic plant in a computer model is possible, but is it necessary. All the computations generating the plant slow down the speed of any
Computational Models
Plants react to both decreased red:far red ratio and decreased photosynthetically active radiation, and in different ways.
Close Encounters
Many grasses host symbiotic fungi, Epichloë spp. These fungi can help grasses tolerate herbivory, or help repel herbivores. But how do these fungi pass between plant

Cells, Genes & Molecules
Subtle damage to hydrated tissue occurs at a far lower dosage than previously thought, and may be difficult to recognize.
Close Encounters
We’re familiar with seeing insects flit from one flower to the next, carrying pollen as they do so. What happens when they carry pollen to
Close Encounters
A major challenge when supporting the development of intercropping systems remains the design of efficient species mixtures. The ecological processes that sustain overyielding of legume-based
Close Encounters
Normally you would expect plant defences to increase, the closer you get to the equator. This is where insect life is more active, and so more
