Plant Cuttings
Taken at face value that is a pretty daft question. After all, it is well known that chloroplasts are for photosynthesis. True, but what about the

Ontogenetic changes in anti-herbivore defences are common and result from variation in resource availability and herbivore damage throughout plant development. However, little is known about

Interactions between species are especially sensitive to environmental changes. The interaction between plants and pollinators is of particular interest given the potential current global decline in

Plant reproduction is often limited by the availability of pollinators, which are themselves dependent on larval host plants. The Palamedes swallowtail butterfly is abundant in the

The carbon balance of boreal terrestrial ecosystems is sensitive to increasing temperature, but the direction and thresholds of responses are uncertain. Jensen et al. measure seasonal-

A study of half a million Chinese participants found that those who ate chilli peppers at least twice a week had a 10% reduced mortality rate, while those who consumed them 6-7 days a week had a 14% reduction.

Leaf longevity is controlled by the light gradient in the canopy and also by the nitrogen (N) sink strength in the plant. Stand density may influence

Kennedy’s Plants and the human brain is not only a work of considerable erudition and obvious scholarship, it is also a true labour of love.

Plants regulate cellular oxygen partial pressures (pO2), together with reduction/oxidation (redox) state in order to manage rapid developmental transitions such as bud burst after a
