Transgenerational effects of heat stress in Arabidopsis thaliana
Heat stress can have transgenerational effects on a plant’s offspring but how important are the timing and frequency of these events?
Deep learning techniques used to predict missing data
A new model produces 3D trees that are close to reality using predicted data.
A class of chemicals that produce many of the colours of petals also regulates root response in White Lupins
Flavonoids help fine-tune a lupin’s response to low phosphorus availability.
Interactive effects of Phosphorus and salinity
It’s not enough to have phosophorus in the soil, plants have to be able to use it. A new study examines how salinity interacts with the ability to take up phosphorus.
It’s far from certain that peat bogs can continue absorbing carbon dioxide at current rates
A common claim is that rising carbon dioxide is actually good for plants. Research from Sweden shows that reality is more complicated.
Why are there no Arctic mangroves?
Research from Japan reveals that mangroves can’t cope with cold feet.
An unexpected killer lurks deep in Italian lakes
You would expect to see flowers of Utricularia australis on display just above the surface of a pond or lake. Now botanists have found open U. australis flowers on a lakebed over four metres below the surface.
Simulating grass phenotypic plasticity as an emergent property
Integrating plant functioning at organ scale can simulate the phenotypic plasticity of plants.
Warm nights without respite accelerates the death of seedlings in a drought
A combination of morphological and physiological traits contribute to drought mortality, along with responses to night warming.
Botanists find that some herbaceous use fire as a signal to prepare for boosted flowering in the following year
In the prairies of Minnesota, Liatris aspera is almost a real-life phoenix
Botanists take a step back to move forward in understanding grass
A 19th century idea of how grass grows has proven more accurate than later ideas, according to new research.
Computer vision for phenotyping of photomorphogenesis
Can high-resolution imaging and computational processing be used to quantify variation in photomorphogenesis among Arabidopsis seedlings?
Improving wine yield and quality by improving carbohydrate modelling
A new study compares the accuracy of carbohydrate allocation and transport models for grapevine.
