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
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
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 ...

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
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.
