Epigenetic and transcriptional responses underlying mangrove adaptation to UV-B

iScience, 2021
Summary: Tropical plants have adapted to strong solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Here we compare molecular responses of two tropical mangroves Avecennia marina and Rhizophora apiculata to high-dose UV-B.

Transparent soil for imaging the rhizosphere [PDF]

, 2012
Understanding of soil processes is essential for addressing the global issues of food security, disease transmission and climate change. However, techniques for observing soil biology are lacking. We present a heterogeneous, porous, transparent substrate

Hydrogen Peroxide: Its Role in Plant Biology and Crosstalk with Signalling Networks

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is steadily gaining more attention in the field of molecular biology research. It is a major REDOX (reduction–oxidation reaction) metabolite and at high concentrations induces oxidative damage to biomolecules, which can culminate

Morphological Plant Modeling: Unleashing Geometric and Topological Potential within the Plant Sciences

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
The geometries and topologies of leaves, flowers, roots, shoots, and their arrangements have fascinated plant biologists and mathematicians alike. As such, plant morphology is inherently mathematical in that it describes plant form and architecture with ...

Hardwood Tree Genomics: Unlocking Woody Plant Biology

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Woody perennial angiosperms (i.e., hardwood trees) are polyphyletic in origin and occur in most angiosperm orders. Despite their independent origins, hardwoods have shared physiological, anatomical, and life history traits distinct from their herbaceous ...

The effects of different combinations and varying concentrations of growth regulators on the regeneration of selected Turkish cultivars of melon [PDF]

, 2013
Cucurbits are an economically important family of plants. The majority of the vegetable production in Turkey, for example, derives from the species beloning to the family Cucurbitaceae. Despite the importance of cucurbits among vegetable crops worldwide,
