Growth & Development
In addition to preventing water loss, plant cuticles must also regulate nutrient loss, leaching. The eceriferum mutants in Hordeum vulgare (barley) potentially influence these functions by altering epicuticular wax structure and composition.
Computational Models
POM parameter estimation led to a model that converged on manual parameterization.
Growth & Development
Changes in leaf anatomy, more than hydraulics, allowed the ferns to thrive in a high light environment.
Cells, Genes & Molecules
Noccaea caerulescens has some tricks that help it cope with heavy metals.
Growth & Development
Li and colleagues combined the use of transmission electron microscopy, x-ray microtomography, and transcriptome methods to characterize the major anatomical and molecular changes that occur during the development and death of velamen radicum cells of Cymbidium tracyanum, a typical epiphytic orchid.
Growth & Development
Why would a flower want sterile stamens. An investigation into their development yields some clues.
Computational Models
Turgor pressure within a plant cell represents the key to mechanistically describe plant growth, combining the effect of both water and carbon availability. The high level
Growth & Development
Lomatia stores the ingredients for cyanide, somewhere in its flowers.
Computational Models
Improved modelling of carbon assimilation and plant growth to low soil moisture requires evaluation of underlying mechanisms in the soil, roots, and shoots. The feedback between
Growth & Development
It’s the differences in individuals that make one Protea more successful than another.
Ecosystems
Native and invading plants vary differently in leaf shape in response to climate. Curiously, sometimes the native plants are more acquisitive than the invaders.
Growth & Development
Some associations hold true within closely related groups, but none span the breadth of CAM plants.
