Move over Factor 50! Can increasing their number of chromosomes help protect plants against UV?
Increased chromosome number due to UV is known to occur in lab experiments, but does it happen in real environments?
What makes a good invasive species – genetics or plasticity? Insights from Impatiens glandulifera
Understanding what makes invasive plant species so good at invading may help us protect vulnerable plant biodiversity.
Plastic plants?! Nanoplastics may be bad news for plants too.
More evidence that the damaging potential of small plastics needs to extend to terrestrial environments.
