Direct fluorescence imaging of cell walls in plant roots and stems
Microscopy methods developed in the 1960s are still commonly used in plant science today but new low-cost techniques offer big advantages.

Two evolution pathways acted on the “genomic fossils” in the tea plant genus, Camillia
Camellia represents a group, where rDNA is subjected to a mixture of concerted and birth-and-death evolution.
Thicker leaves, thicker cell walls, low mesophyll conductance
Do differences in structure and anatomy impact mesophyll conductance and photosynthesis of rice leaves?
Scientists find a new chemical to induce plant defences
ssODNs are capable of inducing protection against pathogens through the activation of defence genes and promotion of stomatal closure.
Transferring annotation information between species through machine learning
A new machine learning strategy allows genomic knowledge to be transferred from information-rich to information-poor species.
Control of the stomatal response to VPD in sunflower
Stomata close in response to increasing VPD but what is the mechanism responsible for this response?
A new tool for discovering transcriptional regulators of co-expressed genes
TF DEACoN is an in silico “screen” to identify candidate transcription factors using a public database.
More DNA in golden-brown algae leads to bigger cells, but slower growth
The study fills a gap in knowledge in the effects of nuclear DNA size in single-cell algae and protists.
H202 scavenging releases axillary bud outgrowth in rosebush
High levels of H2O2 in a quiescent state prevents bud outgrowth.
Topography Leaves Its Mark in Goldenrod Genetics
The variation of montane environments means that the genetics of alpine goldenrods populations differ more than their lowland cousins.
