You can protect blueberries from cold with some help from the Antarctic

Botanists have found a bodyguard that can protect blueberry plants from cold or drought shocks – but instead of protecting the outside of the plant, it lives inside it.

Botanists uncover the cost of cloning

If a plant wants to produce a clone of itself, then it’s usually best to keep the new shoots close.

How does a plant vary across its range?

A French-US team studied whether Arabidopsis in its natural range varies by latitude or from a core to the periphery.

Scheme of water flowing through a plant: (1) from the soil towards the root surface, (2) from the root surface to the xylem, (3) inside the xylem from the roots towards the leaves, and (4) outside the xylem in the leaves to the sites of transpiration. Ksoil, Kroot, Kxylem, Kox are the respective hydraulic conductances. For completeness, conductance in the gaseous phase was included. These are stomatal conductance, cuticular conductance, and boundary-layer conductance

It’s all connected: modeling water potential and plant physiological processes

“As water potential is regarded the best indicator of plant water status, because it is the integrated result of above- and below-ground environmental conditions, it holds promise as a pivotal model variable to which other plant processes respond.”

Below-ground hydraulics control stomatal closure

Botanists find that during soil drying, stomatal regulation is controlled by below-ground hydraulics in a predictable way.
