Bilateral flowers tend to receive less pollen than radial flowers, so why would a plant want a bilateral flower?
The flower, first discovered over 150 years ago, has yielded new clues from its pollen.
The complex relationships between plants and their pollinators in subarctic Finland have changed dramatically across the last century
Herbivory is a key factor in controlling nitrogen limitation and carbon sequestration by tropical forests affected by climate change.
Mobile and plant-based measurements of fossil fuel CO2 can help quantify decarbonization progress in cities
Cambridge researchers have shown that plants can regulate the chemistry of their petal surface to create iridescent signals visible to bees.
Heat during flowering damages the kernels before they develop.
Stress memories using epigenetics are helping plants adapt to climate change.
Plants might not feel pain as such, but they need a way to get damage signals around their body. A new study uncovers some of the process.
Sometimes it takes a shorter plant to help a liana get to the top.
Field experiment shows that competition for light is the key mechanism driving loss of plant diversity under eutrophication and lack of grazing.
