Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.The glandular hairs in the floral tube of Paederia foetida has an effect on an ant's ability to enter a flower. Our results showed that trimming the glandular hairs increased the success rate of ants entering the floral tube. Abstract Hairs that grow on plant organs have been shown to play a variety of roles. Paederia foetida (Rubiaceae) is a perennial

New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 5, Page 2075-2083, June 2025.Summary Silicon (Si) has been hypothesized to be a metabolically cheaper substitute for carbon‐based cell wall components to support leaves. However, how the biomechanical function of Si, deposited as amorphous silica, differs from cell wall components remains untested. Here, we tested the hypothesis that species with higher leaf Si concentrations have
