Dynamic role of iron supply in amelioration of cadmium stress in mungbean
Although iron (Fe) is abundant in the earth’s crust, it is largely unavailable for plants, especially those growing in alkaline and calcareous soils. Higher plants

Effects of increased precipitation on life history traits of the cold desert annual Erodium oxyrhynchum (Geraniaceae)
Due to climate warming, the global and regional water cycle is changing, and this will have a great impact on terrestrial ecosystems. Since plants are a

Completing the hybridization triangle: the inheritance of genetic incompatibilities during homoploid hybrid speciation in ragworts (Senecio)
Hybridization is an important contributor to biodiversity and speciation, with approximately 25 % of all plant species and 10 % of all animal species estimated to have experienced

Evidence for a double mutualistic interaction between a lizard and a Mediterranean gymnosperm
Mutualistic relationships between different species are common in all ecosystems however double mutualisms, where two interacting species benefit each other for two different functions, e.g.

Herbivore-specific induction of indirect and direct defensive responses in leaves and roots
Herbivory-induced defensive responses in plants can be direct (e.g. secondary chemicals to suppress herbivory) or indirect (e.g. extrafloral nectar attracting ants). These different

Trait divergence determines the success of a newly invasive plant
It is often assumed that the ability of plants to acclimatize to the local environment through non-genetic changes in their anatomy and physiology (phenotypic plasticity)

Low-intensity logging and hunting have long-term effects on seed dispersal but not fecundity in Afrotropical forests
Hunting and logging can alter ecological communities, but their long-term effects are seldom studied in Afrotropical forests.

The response of mesophyll conductance to short- and long-term environmental conditions in chickpea genotypes
Mesophyll conductance to CO2 (gm), which regulates the diffusion of CO2 from substomatal cavities to the sites of carboxylation, is now recognized as a significant and
