Defence dichotomy: coping with herbivores in air and water (Review)
Plant defence against herbivores is a crucial theme in the evolution of both plants and animals, yet it is expressed very differently in water and on

Novel genetic sources of salinity tolerance in rice: molecular and physiological characterization
A diverse set of rice accessions was characterized for diversity using SNP markers and phenotyped to identify novel sources of salt tolerance. Three major clusters corresponding

Calling all botanical student societies
We talk a lot about how to inspire the next generation of plant scientists. But how do our students inspire us? Last week, I met one

Something in the air? Volatiles influence mollusc attack on seedlings
Although pulmonate molluscs are the principal seedling herbivores in temperate grasslands and agriculture, we understand little about what drives seedling selection. Shannon et al. examined the

What are root hairs for?
A question with a long history, but not always a long enough bibliography, as Nigel Chaffey learns.

Hawaiian seedlings fail to recover from simulated herbivory
Herbivory is a key threat to seedlings, driving plant community composition and the evolution of seedling defences. In Hawaii, seedling herbivores are not part of the

Phylogeography of a widespread species: Pre-glacial vicariance, refugia, occasional blocking straits and long-distance migration
Phylogeographic studies give us the opportunity to reconstruct the historical migrations of species and link them with climatic and geographic variation. They are, therefore, a key

Standardization and validation of leaf wetness traits
Leaf wetness traits have often been used to describe ecophysiological and ecohydrological processes. However, the effect of droplet size when measuring these traits and their use

Polar growth and the development of aquatic carnivorous plants
Cytokinin and auxin biosynthesis and distribution patterns have been studied intensively in many terrestrial plant species. Until now, no direct phytohormonal screening has been carried out

Phylogeny and genome sizes of Betula
The genus Betula (birches) is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere from the arctic to the tropics. Its woody species are an important component of many
