To C4 or not to C4 if you’re a tree? Some possible answers
C4 photosynthesis is an efficient way of harnessing energy, yet trees rarely use it. Why is that?
How to eat bugs without really trying? Insights from the genomes of carnivorous plants
Genes for carnivory arose from a duplication of the genome turning plants into hunters.
How do some plants become flammable? Insights from Dracophyllum
Why would a plant not frequently exposed to fire evolve to burn well?
7 Plants You’ll Be Seeing More Of As Model Species
What plants will be shaping botanical research in the future? Here are seven candidates.
V-Mango model: an intricate 3D simulation of the King of Fruits
The computer-modelled mangoes could identify when their real-life counterparts were most at risk from mango blossom gall midge.
Job-sharing by the barley cuticle
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.
Pattern-oriented modelling a useful tool for FSP models when experimental data is lacking
POM parameter estimation led to a model that converged on manual parameterization.
Hydraulic adjustments are of limited use in bracken fern
Changes in leaf anatomy, more than hydraulics, allowed the ferns to thrive in a high light environment.
