Bees, flowers and UV

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Human‐invisible but bee‐visible UV patterns in flowers aid pollination by signalling to pollinators and protecting vulnerable DNA in pollen. ABSTRACT Ultraviolet light shining on flowers has various effects. In this review we assess functions of UV pigments and UV reflection patterns in flowers, including visual signalling by reflectance, fluorescence,

Responses of grapevine cells to physiological doses of ethanol, including induced resistance to heat stress

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Ethanol priming enhances heat tolerance in grapevine cells, offering a novel strategy for improving plant resilience to climate stress. Abstract Grapevine is naturally exposed to stresses like heat, drought, and hypoxia. A recent study found very low oxygen levels inside grape berries, linked to ethanol content.

Off‐the‐shelf image analysis models outperform human visual assessment in identifying genes controlling seed color variation in sorghum

open access: yesThe Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract Seed color is a complex phenotype linked to both the impact of grains on human health and consumer acceptance of new crop varieties. Today, seed color is often quantified via qualitative human assessment or biochemical assays for specific colored metabolites.

Microbial diversity and function in the rhizosphere microbiome: Driving forces and monitoring approaches

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract As an ecological unit, the rhizosphere microbiome preserves an enormous and largely unexplored diversity of microbes that play essential roles in plant health and soil functions. Omics technologies encompassing high‐throughput approaches such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and metaproteomics provide helpful tools to unravel the ...
