Root hairs more important than root exudate in rhizosheath formation
Exudates did bind soil to the roots, but were unable to compensate for the absence of root hairs.
Historical angle important in centre-periphery approaches to species performance
Accounting for the historical range can help explain trait variation in some cases.
Is there a yield cost for limiting water loss during the hot hours of the day in wheat?
Evaluating how limited transpiration at high evaporative demand affect grain yield across Australia using computer models.
The shape of “baby plants” in the amaranth family show adaptations to extreme habitats
Adaptation to extreme habitats starts in the seed.
Modelling the potential of soybean cropping in Northern European regions
Soybean is not commonly grown in Northern Europe, but can it be, and how?
What traits govern root sprouting in temperate herbs?
The ability is most common in dry, open habitats, and most vigorous where disturbance is frequent.
Hakea drought resistance determined by climate factors rather than functional traits
Cavitation resistance appears to be genetic, making it useful as a predictor of drought resistance.
The comparative adaptation to water-limitation of sorghum and maize
A new study unravels why maize has higher yields and sorghum is more drought tolerant using a cropping systems modeling platform.
Local adaptation of invasive species occurs in clonal plants too
In transplant experiments, closely-related sexual and asexual species both showed evidence of local adaptation.
