A new technique to quantify leaf day respiration

By Isabel Blog, ECRi, Plant Science, Post

Respiration in plants is a process that consumes sugars (e.g., glucose) and oxygen, produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water, and releases energy to maintain the primary metabolic and physiological functions during growth. It determines the net carbon gain for plants…

Researchers Reveal Global Biogeographical Patterns and Correlates of Floral Longevity

By Isabel News, Plant Science

The length of time a flower remained open (i.e., from anthesis to flower senescence) is called floral longevity. Floral longevity has been considered as one of the most important reproductive traits as it determines opportunities for pollen dispersal and capture…
