Light is the original source of energy for plant photosynthesis and growth, but it also acts as a signal for morphogenesis and many other physiological processes.

Perennial plants use bud dormancy as a strategy to survive stressful environments, such as cold temperatures during winter. This strategy is dependent on the ability of

In angiosperms, diverse floral architectures are shaped by pollinators, and different pollinator–plant interactions may lead to variable selection on floral traits in space and time.

Petunia is a genus of flowering plants endemic to South American grasslands. Species of this genus exhibit variation in flower colour and shape, attracting bees, hawkmoths

Hybridization is a common process that leads to relevant evolutionary and ecological consequences. The genotypes resulting from hybridization commonly show phenotypic traits with intermediate values between
AoB PLANTS
Plant populations vary over time as a result of the effects of environmental variation on life-cycle traits and genetic diversity. It is important to quantify

Soil P deficiency is a major constraint to crop yield in many parts of the world and as such the adaptations of root growth and rhizosphere
AoB PLANTS
Species-level responses to environmental change depend on the collective responses of their constituent populations and the degree to which these populations are specialized to local

Vascular epiphytes account for around 9 % of vascular plants worldwide. The presence of epiphytic flora increases the species richness and structural complexity of forests, as well
AoB PLANTS
The genetic diversity and structure of plant populations are determined by the interaction of gene flow, genetic drift and natural selection. These processes are to some

Homoploid hybrid speciation – hybrid speciation without a change in chromosome number and facilitated by ecological divergence – is well known in angiosperms but rare in gymnosperms. To

Several hypotheses have been described for the evolution of impermeable seed coat, i.e. physical dormancy. It regulates the timing of seed germination in species of
