Zotz and colleagues ask for a re-evaluation of the occurrence, evolution, and function of the velamen radicum in both terrestrial and epiphytic angiosperms

Reductions in herkogamy with flower positions may be expected in environments with either low pollinator abundance or low nutrients.

Evidence from this study indicates that elevated [CO2] not only can aggravate the effects of water deficit on photosynthetic performance and growth of maritime pine but also it can attenuate genotypic differences in drought tolerance as compared with those observed at current atmospheric [CO2].

This work opens a novel perspective for the study of vascular pattering in crops and its potential impact in the physiology of economically relevant plants.

Novel forms of potentially antifungal linear fengycins may serve as a basis for the development of more powerful plant protective agents.

Not only is the pool-seq method remarkably accurate in measuring SNP frequencies but it can also reveal new information that biogeographic studies of plant distributions cannot, namely data on the relative amount of effective dispersal across geographic barriers.

Male gametes need only 1 min to find the egg, fuse, induce homogenous cell wall secretion and start showing adhesive properties, underlying the role of the ECM as a fast sperm block in D. dichotoma.
