Although neighbourhood structure and light availability are recognized as factors that limit survival and species coexistence, its relative importance on plant design is not well understood.

Pedersen et al. present analyses of morphometric and AFLP data from populations of Geodorum (Orchidaceae) – a study conducted in preparation of the Flora of Thailand account.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play a key role in phosphate (P) uptake of many crop species, but the mechanisms by which P uptake in the AM

Orchids are particularly sensitive to environmental changes due to their narrow ranges in secondary-successional habitats, and partially cryptic which impede the observation during monitoring. Here

In orchid species that have populations occurring in strongly contrasting habitats, mycorrhizal divergence and other habitat-specific adaptations may lead to the formation of reproductively isolated

Two genes PvXTH9 and PvXTHb have been suggested to regulate the polyethylene glycol-reduced cell-wall Al accumulation in root tips. Through the spatial and temporal

Ni-hyperaccumulating species produce high-Ni litters and potentially influence important ecosystem processes such as decomposition. According to the elemental allelopathy hypothesis of hyperaccumulation, the restriction

Miscanthus has a high yield potential, but even though it is less cold sensitive than other C4 species, it emerges later in spring than C3 species.

In gypsum soil communities, above-ground vegetation and seed banks are tightly connected, but mechanisms involved in their organization may differ. Peralta et al. investigated the

Although a few plant lineages have lost one copy of the plastid genome (plastome) inverted repeat (IR), its near ubiquity among streptophytes has fostered speculation about
