Growth & Development When phosphorus levels are low, mycorrhizae outcompete root hairs in maize The two adaptations both aid in nutrient uptake, but may work against each other Erin Zimmerman 11 Sep 2020
Growth & Development Global warming and earlier flowering: a thermogradient tunnel experiment Winter annual Arabidopsis ecotypes have a distinct advantage over summer annuals in expected global warming scenarios. Juniper Kiss 08 Sep 2020
Ecosystems Are a few, large seeds or many, small seeds a better strategy for a plant? For the first time, estimates of comparative seed yield and number for over 800 annuals and their predictor equations have been produced and the ecological importance of these regenerative traits has been illustrated.
