A PLETHORA3/7 transcription factor shapes cucumber shoot architecture

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary PLETHORA transcription factors (PLTs) are master regulators of plant development. Loss of shoot meristematic PLTs leads to reduced phyllotactic regularity and robustness in Arabidopsis and increased inflorescence branching in tomato. Whether these factors have similar functions in other species is not known.

Seasonal and Landscape‐Driven Variations in Forage Resources of Apis mellifera scutellata: Implications for Pollination Sustainability and Colony Health in Taita Taveta County, Kenya

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
We used DNA metabarcoding to identify nectar and pollen plant species supporting honey bee nutrition across different landscapes and seasons in Taita Taveta County, Kenya. Forage availability was influenced by landscape and season, with exotic species (67%) dominating over native ones (33%), raising concerns about colony health and how the occurrence ...
