APETALA2 antagonizes the transcriptional activity of AGAMOUS in regulating floral stem cells in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
, 2017 APETALA2 (AP2) is best known for its function in the outer two floral whorls, where it specifies the identities of sepals and petals by restricting the expression of AGAMOUS (AG) to the inner two whorls in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Plant Cognition—An Empirical Primer: Evidence, Implications, and Ethics
Philosophy Compass, Volume 21, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT Recent advances in plant biology suggest that plants engage in complex behaviours once thought to require nervous systems. This article surveys the empirical foundations of plant cognition, covering research on goal‐directed movement, decision‐making, anticipatory behaviour, communication, phytoacoustics, and plant neurobiology.

Range Expansion of the Giant Water Bug Lethocerus patruelis (Stål, 1854) in Europe
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.We modeled the expansion of the giant water bug, with a focus on niche dynamics and habitat suitability. Our results show evidence for an ongoing expansion, with strong potential for further spread under future climatic conditions. ABSTRACT Climate change is altering freshwater ecosystems, causing extinctions, range expansions, and facilitating ...

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2060-2079, November 2025.ABSTRACT Promoting argumentation based on evidence allows students to give meaning to the phenomena observed, enabling the construction of knowledge. Children's argumentative discourse can be activated by appropriate instruction, but there is little information on argumentation at early ages and there is a need for the teacher to understand how to ...
