The March 2013 issue of Annals of Botany is now Free Access. The cover image is of two generations of moss, the younger sporophytes growing from the parent gametophyte. AJ Cann blogged about this paper last year. If you...
Funaria hygrometrica calyptra may represent the earliest occurrence of maternal protection via structural provisioning of a cuticle in green plants.
Over a century ago, the gametophytic calyptra was predicted to be covered by a cuticle that protects the sporophyte apex from desiccation. Budke et al. examine the moss Funaria hygrometrica using electron microscopy...

I disagree! A weed is a plant that has perfected the art of reproduction and regeneration. Something doesn't have to have worth to humans to be inherently valuable.

Loving your posts, but I have to say I am discouraged by subscription links.
Thanks for the comment +Eric Hunt (I put up this post). That's useful feedback. We put up a lot more subscription links on Facebook than Google+, but they're different audiences so we try to do things differently. It's a balancing act between being able draw scientists' attention to papers and being able to talk about what's going on in plant science to everyone.
Thinking about this, if we put out a press release then we make sure the paper is free access immediately. It's annoying to be told "Hey! Come look at this cool thing!" and discover you can't. For things like this, scientists might discover papers by RSS or Twitter and so on, but by photo? Not really, this is more a public thing, so I should have thought about that.
I'll bear this in mind with future images.
