From cross to self-pollination: Examining how plants develop different routes to replication

By Isabel News, Plant Science

There are flowering plants that have the ability to self-pollinate, meaning that they can fertilise themselves without a partner. However, selfing also has clear negative consequences for the plants – first and foremost the loss of genetic variability and biological…

Dynamic plants: Origin and geographic evolution of cycads clarified

By Isabel News, Plant Science

Paleobotanists have made an important breakthrough in understanding the origin and geographic distribution of cycads. By combining genetic data with leaf morphological data from both fossil and living species for the first time, the researchers created a phylogenetic tree of…

New imaging technique can capture entire plant tissues in 3D

By Isabel News, Plant Science

The cellular life inside a plant is as vibrant as the blossom. In each plant tissue—from root tip to leaf tip—there are hundreds of cell types that relay information about functional needs and environmental changes. Now, a new technology can…

Plant ecology study shows dominant influence of climate on vegetation

By Isabel Botany, Climate change, Forestry, News

For several years, ecological research has argued that climate often has no determining influence on the distribution of forests and savannas in tropical regions. However, an international research team has now succeeded in proving that it depends mostly on climatic…

Identifying new genes may elevate efficiency of photosynthesis in crops, could boost yields

By Isabel Agriculture, News

Corn leaves on the lowest rung of a plant’s stem spend much of the day shrouded in shade. A gust of wind can crack the window to photosynthesis, and growth, for those leaves, but they typically can’t adjust in time…

Short-Lived Solutions for Tall Trees in Chile’s Megadrought

By Isabel Forestry, News, Plant Science

Some southern beeches in the Andes have plumbed deeper for moisture as the surface has dried up. But doing so may deplete resources and undermine the trees’ future health.
