Pollination is a vital step for successful fertilization and seed formation in the angiosperms. Chae and Lord outline the crucial roles of small, secreted proteins in angiosperm pollination and fertilization by...

Modelling phosphorus and reproductive phenology
Modelling phosphorus and reproductive phenology Delayed reproduction in soils with low phosphorus (P) availability is common among annuals, in contrast to the accelerated reproduction typical of other low-nutrient...
Number and position of floral organs in Arabidopsis
Information regarding polymorphism of floral structure is important for understanding the genetic and evolutionary mechanisms of flower development. Penin and Logacheva conduct a wide survey of the variations in number...
Cytokinesis and pollen apertures in arabidopsis mutants
It has been suggested that cytokinesis is associated with the determination of pollen aperture pattern. Albert et al. examine the tam (tardy asynchronous meiosis) mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana, which exhibits a switch...
Natural variation in arabidopsis stomatal abundance
Our understanding of stomatal development in Arabidopsis thaliana is based on mutants with aberrant, often lethal phenotypes. Through a comprehensive analysis of stomatal abundance in wild A. thaliana accessions...
Mechanical perturbation of Arabidopsis
Mechanical perturbation of Arabidopsis Mechanical perturbation is known to inhibit elongation of the inflorescence stem of Arabidopsis thaliana but little is known of its effects on stem mechanics. Paul-Victor and Rowe ...

Arabidopsis all the way?
Forget any notion that botany is boring – if you have any interest in what the day-to-day life of a research scientist is really like, this is the most accurate and most engaging account of “doing science for a living”...
