Carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere have gone up by a third since the mid 20th century. Parthenin concentrations in invasive Parthenium hysterophorus have gone up by a half.
Interactions between plants and fungal symbionts are not always balanced affairs.
How will plants respond to rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere? Botanists at BIFoR, the Birmingham Institute for Forest Research have gone underground to find some of the answers.
This study strengthens the hypothesis of incremental rather than early acquisition of stomatal regulatory processes through land plant evolution.
Morfopoulos et al. hypothesize that NADPH availability for isoprene biosynthesis depends on the balance of electron supply and Calvin cycle demand.
