Epistemic Objects and Tools on the School Grounds: Addressing Plant Blindness and Knowledge Construction

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants mediate the supply of energy and matter for all animals, including human beings yet we are faced with “plant blindness” whereby we pay limited attention to and accord little value to plants. Plant blindness is evident in school curricula whereby students have limited opportunities to learn about plants.

Crystal structure of the plant GABA aminotransferase AtGABA‐T from Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section F, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of A. thaliana γ‐aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (GABA‐T) reveals that plant GABA‐T belongs to the class III aminotransferase family and employs a C‐terminal arginine residue for γ‐aminobutyric acid recognition, in contrast to the N‐terminal arginine used by class II enzymes.γ‐Aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (GABA‐T) is a ...

The multiple dimensions of intraspecific variation in seed dispersal

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Seed dispersal plays a central role in plant ecology and evolution, and understanding its variation is key to predicting species demography and range dynamics. However, dispersal is difficult to measure, and most modelling and field studies assume uniform dispersal ...

Complex multitrophic species interactions and fitness costs: Intricate consequences of jasmonate and salicylate induced plant defences

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals how long‐term activation of jasmonic and salicylic acid signalling reshapes arthropod communities and plant fitness across seasons. By showing that induced defences generate contrasting outcomes and cascading trade‐offs across trophic levels, it challenges the assumption that induced resistance is uniformly beneficial in natural ...

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.
