Reproductive isolation is generally regarded as the essence of the speciation process. The evolution of reproductive isolation allows differentiation and permits local adaptations to become fixed

Separate sexes and sex chromosomes evolved independently many times in plants. As well as the XY system humans have, some plants have a ZW system. But

It has been reported that low temperatures and the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) induce the expression of CBF/DREB1 transcription factors in vegetative tissues and

There were many great articles concerning cross-disciplinary research at the interface between plant biology, mathematics and computer science before the launch in silico Plants (isP). We are excited for isP to be home to these types of articles in the future.

With climate change, plants start colonising new areas, but how will new regions become tropical? A new study hints at the start of the process.

Pyroloids, forest sub-shrubs of the Ericaceae family, are an important model for their mixotrophic nutrition, which mixes carbon from photosynthesis and from their mycorrhizal fungi.

As angiosperms became one of the megadiverse groups of macroscopic eukaryotes, they forged modern ecosystems and promoted the evolution of extant terrestrial biota. Unequal distribution of

Identifying the processes that generate and maintain biodiversity requires understanding of how evolutionary processes interact with abiotic conditions to structure communities. Edaphic gradients are strongly associated
