Growth & Development
You would expect to see flowers of Utricularia australis on display just above the surface of a pond or lake. Now botanists have found open U. australis flowers on a lakebed over four metres below the surface.
Cells, Genes & Molecules
Integrating plant functioning at organ scale can simulate the phenotypic plasticity of plants.
Ecosystems
Agricultural intensification affects butterfly populations, but so does the abandonment of farmland.
Growth & Development
A combination of morphological and physiological traits contribute to drought mortality, along with responses to night warming.
Reviews
It depends on whether or not it’s a good picture book about plants.
Growth & Development
In the prairies of Minnesota, Liatris aspera is almost a real-life phoenix
Ecosystems
A new model can help botanic gardens discover where they should source endangered plants when they want to aid conservation efforts.
Close Encounters
By timing their visits to twilight, just as nocturnal flowers are opening, some bees can grab most of Pseudobombax longiflorum‘s pollen.
Plants & People
Adult plants provide sustenance, sequester carbon and help keep healthy soils. But what is the role of seeds?
Growth & Development
Las plantas adultas son fuente de alimento, capturan carbono y ayudan a mantener suelos saludables. Pero ¿qué papel juegan sus semillas?
Ecosystems
Climate change is about more than simply warming, and these other effects should not be overlooked.
Cells, Genes & Molecules
Botanists find it’s easier to find the gene to cope with a problem if you carry more copies of genes.
