Growth & Development
The variation in genome size between different plant species is enormous, with a variation of 2300-fold in flowering plants alone. Whilst variation in plant genome
Plants & People
More efficient sampling could capture greater diversity without overwhelming space constraints.
Close Encounters
Sometimes it’s a good idea not to send a consistent message to your pollinators.
Cells, Genes & Molecules
Were there land-bridges in the past that enabled trees to travel from mountaintop to mountaintop?
Growth & Development
C4 photosynthesis is an efficient way of harnessing energy, yet trees rarely use it. Why is that?
Taxonomy & Evolution
The genes of Harebell populations show the history of post-glacial colonisation.
Taxonomy & Evolution
Climate change is generally thought to affect plant distribution by reducing the suitability of a species to its environment and diminishing its effective range. Modelling can
Cells, Genes & Molecules
The core Heterotropa group was divided into nine subclades, each of which had a narrow geographic distribution.
Taxonomy & Evolution
More so than reproductive or anatomical features, morphology defines evolutionary relationships among early vascular plants.
Taxonomy & Evolution
The Piedra Chamana fossil forest in northern Peru is an assemblage of angiosperm woods and leaves preserved in volcaniclastic rocks dated at 39 Ma (late Middle
Cells, Genes & Molecules
The genes hornworts share with other living plants may tell us something about their ancient common ancestor.
Cells, Genes & Molecules
Analysis of over 3300 single copy genes has produced a well-supported topology with some significant changes.
