Hydraulic function of medullary bundles in a tropical root climber
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Medullary bundles, which are vascular bundles in the pith, have evolved multiple times. However, their functional significance remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated how medullary bundles are involved in the vascular architecture and hydraulic function in a tropical root climber, Adelobotrys scandens (Melastomataceae) to ...

Cellular basis for blade splitting in bull kelp, Nereocystis luetkeana
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Blade splitting in bull kelp, Nereocystis luetkeana is central to thallus development and function, yet the cellular basis of this process remains poorly understood. Two historical models proposed contrasting mechanisms: One attributes blade separation primarily to programmed cell death, whereas the other suggests mechanical tearing ...

Turning a new leaf: PhenoVision provides leaf phenology data at the global scale
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Plant phenology dictates many aspects of community function and ecosystem dynamics. Yet, global phenology data are still limited, especially in areas lacking monitoring programs. Here we present a new data resource, PhenoVision–Leaf, which extends a computer vision pipeline utilizing iNaturalist digital image vouchers to produce global‐

Herbarium‐based measurements are reliable predictors of fresh plant traits in Neotropical Myrtaceae
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Herbarium specimens are increasingly used to extract morphological traits for ecological and evolutionary studies, yet the effects of tissue desiccation on trait measurements remain poorly understood. Here, we tested two hypotheses: (H1) whether higher tissue water content leads to greater measurement changes after herborization and ...

Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...
