Feeding (or not feeding) a fungus: plants may not be so good to their fungal partners after all
Interactions between plants and fungal symbionts are not always balanced affairs.
Scottish barley may have the genes to aid cultivars in marginal lands
Botanists have been examining the genomes of Scottish varieties of barley to see if they can pass its ability to manage manganese to popular cultivars.
Bulking up: do plants make gains in secondary metabolites through genome duplication?
Whole genome duplication is often associated with gains in plant developmental complexity. Does this include secondary metabolites?
Higher cytokinin levels give Dutch tomatoes an edge
Greater secondary xylem development in Dutch cultivars may be the source of their lead over Japanese cultivars in fresh fruit weight.
It’s epigenetics after all! How environmentally-induced traits might support plant ecosystems
Diversity of parental environments could have comparable effects to genetic diversity in Arabidopsis.
Short- and long-term responses to elevated carbon dioxide use the same genetic controls
Manipulating stomatal traits could produce more crops for dry regions.
Life in the canopy is different : How genetics impacts variation in herbivory on oak trees
Trees may invest more in protecting their canopy leaves from munching insects than their other leaves
