From Ashes to Seeds: How Fire Affects Pollination and Plant Reproduction
After a wildfire sweeps through the landscape, it may be inevitable to be shocked by the desolate scene it leaves. Yet, a recent research led by Lucas Carbone suggests that plants can flourish in these environments as never expected.
To make a fine wine, you need to kill some dinosaurs
The event that killed off the dinosaurs had a huge impact on the Vitaceae family, the plant family that includes the wine grape.
Better sex doesn’t lead to better reproduction for a Balearic Arum
Botanists have found disturbance can increase pollination and seed set for an Arum on Mallorca. So why isn’t that good news for the plant?
The Miscanthus sacchariflorus homeland lies beneath the waves
A study of the genetic diversity of Miscanthus sacchariflorus has revealed that the centre of its diversity now lies under the Yellow Sea.
Understanding gene expression under flooding and drought stress in Phalaris arundinacea and Dactylis glomerata
A changing climate could bring drier or wetter conditions. A team of scientists has been examining how the genes of two plants adapt to both conditions.
Cultivation of Jatropha shows the importance of conservation
Jatropha curcas could be an oil crop with major biofuel potential, but the breeding germplasm has little variation. Botanists have found that there is genetic potential in previously overlooked non-toxic jatropha, but it needs conservation.
Effects of ABA dynamics on poplar acclimation to drought
Characterisation of the biochemical and genetic mechanisms that underpin plant responses to water deficit are central to the development of more productive drought-tolerant biomass crops, including fast-growing poplars.
Progression of drought drives metabolomic responses in Poplar
A plant’s response to drought might vary depending on how the drought arrives.
Root responses in Arundo donax
When soils dry they don’t dry uniformly, some parts remain damper than others. How does a reed like Arundo donax respond?
