Simulating grass phenotypic plasticity as an emergent property
Integrating plant functioning at organ scale can simulate the phenotypic plasticity of plants.

Seminal roots help maize grab nutrients
When humans selected for bigger seeds in maize, they may have also unintentionally improved its root system.
Improving roots for crops could improve habitats for wildlife
New research finds that root capturing more nutrients could help wildlife breathe many miles away.
Connecting soil nitrogen and gypsy moth herbivory in a US oak forest
Can a better understanding of ecosystem nitrogen cycling allow us to more accurately predict invasive insect outbreaks?
How much nitrogen does rice need to produce high yields?
Researchers use 3D modelling of rice canopies to determine how nitrogen availability affects photosynthetic productivity.
Optimising photosynthetic resource distributions to improve wheat yield
How does the optimality of photosynthetic resource distribution relative to light availability vary across a wheat population?
Aging Mosses Can Be Nitrogen Sinks: Tracking Tissue Nitrogen During Senescence
Regulatory effect of phosphorus and nitrogen on nodulation and plant performance of shrubby legumes
The four species showed similar patterns in their absorption and use of phosphorus and nitrogen.
Mutualistic relationship between mangrove plants and diazotrophs
Effect of simulated warming on Leymus chinensis grasslands of northeast China
Is auxin behind adventitious root formation in petunia cuttings?
Yes, but you’ll need nitrogen and somewhere dark.
How important is meat to a curious carnivorous plant?
Drosophyllum lusitanicum, also known as the Portuguese sundew or dewy pine, is unusual even for carnivorous plants in that it lives in dry environments. Typically, carnivorous plants live in nutrient-poor wetlands, so does it really gain much from carnivory?
Ecophysiology of early lineage vascular plants
The modelling, allocation and redistribution of biomass
Evaluation of a generic biomass partitioning model demonstrates accurate temporal patterns of biomass and nitrogen partitioning.
