Cells, Genes & Molecules
Old or dying leaves move nutrients to living tissues (i.e. resorption) but some nutrients remain in the dying tissues and are recycled in the environment
Computational Models
Light interception is closely related to canopy architecture. Few studies based on multi-view photography have been conducted in a field environment, particularly studies that link
Growth & Development
The plant has a unique arrangement for carrying out C4 photosynthesis without the typical C4 anatomy.
Growth & Development
Sap must flow, so the xylem must change.
Growth & Development
Not all Sphagnum moss manages water in the same way.
Growth & Development
Plant functional traits often vary across space, particularly when species encounter contrasting environmental conditions throughout their range. Such phenotypic variation is determined by both genetic and
Growth & Development
Daffodils and Snowdrops need the right temperatures in a few seasons to germinate. Will a changing climate cause problems?
Growth & Development
You can’t predict how a Yucca gloriosa will react to drought from its anatomy alone.
Computational Models
Models considering only the maximum photosynthetic capacity for all leaves over-estimated net carbon dioxide exchange by nearly a third.
Growth & Development
How do plants react when circumstances change? One method can be to evolve a local adaptation. Another can be be phenotypic plasticity, changing the shape of
Growth & Development
When fungal infection comes to Pinus radiata, it can run through the bottom of the crown of the tree, removing its leaves. What effect does this
Computational Models
L-Cucumber’s leaf prototype mimics leaf shape of stressed plants.
