Analysis of 31 tropical woody species with spines on their trunk has uncovered new explanations for the presence of spines on trees.
In the future, some plants may wear monitors to keep track of water loss.
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.
If a plant wants to produce a clone of itself, then it’s usually best to keep the new shoots close.
