The flower clock: How a small protein helps flowers to develop right and on time

How flowers form properly within a limited time frame has been a mystery. Now researchers have found that KNUCKLES, a small multi-functional protein, supports the correct timing of floral development for the proper formation of flower reproductive organs

Mediterranean old-growth forests exhibit resistance to climate warming

European old-growth forests are estimated to occupy only 0.7% of the total forested area; they are of prime ecological value, representing small vestiges of how Europe's past primeval forest may have looked. In addition, old-growth forests provide various and important…

Discovery of mobile disease detectors in plants could boost crop resilience

Many important crop plants can be devastated by pathogens including bacteria, fungi and viruses. Knowing exactly how some plants respond could give researchers the information to breed crops with the best disease-fighting power or even design new and improved immune…

Dynamics of genome evolution shape diversification of fern lineages

Ferns are the second most species rich lineages of land plants and highly suitable to test the association between genome diversity and lineage diversification. Many studies have recovered substantial differences in genome diversity. However, less attention has been given to ferns.
