Flood disturbance affects morphology and reproduction of woody riparian plants [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Riparian forests are structured and maintained by their hydrology. Woody riparian plants typically adapt to the local flood regime to maximise their likelihood of survival and reproductive success.

A simple and versatile plasma membrane staining method for visualizing living cell morphology in reproductive tissues across diverse plant species [PDF]
Plant MethodsPlant reproduction involves dynamic spatiotemporal changes that occur deep within maternal tissues. In ovules of Arabidopsis thaliana (A. thaliana), one of the two synergid cells degenerates at fertilization, while the fertilized egg cell (zygote ...

Overexpression of PIF4 affects plant morphology and accelerates reproductive phase transitions in soybean [PDF]
Food and Energy Security, 2021 Phytochrome‐interacting factor 4 acts as a signalling hub for integrating multiple environmental cues like light and temperature. While the function of PIF4 in the model plant Arabidopsis has been studied, there is limited knowledge regarding the role of

Integrated Vegetative and Reproductive Traits Reveal Functional Groups and Assembly Mechanisms in a Subtropical Forest Ecotone [PDF]
PlantsIn species-rich forests, the integration of vegetative and reproductive traits defines plant ecological strategies and underpins community assembly. How these trait syndromes assemble into functional groups to facilitate species coexistence in ecotones ...

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 • The decline of submerged macrophytes in shallow lakes and wetlands has cascade effects on regional and global biodiversity. In the last two decades, the rapid disappear of macrophyte beds in the floodplain lakes of the middle lower Yangtze River has ...

Morphological (and not anatomical or reproductive) features define early vascular plant phylogenetic relationships [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2020 PremisePerhaps the most rapid period of vascular plant evolution occurred during the Silurian–Devonian time interval. Yet, few quantitative analyses have established the extent to which anatomical, morphological, or reproductive features contributed to this episode of tracheophyte diversification.MethodsPhylogenetic analyses were performed using a ...

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 Seagrass beds are important submerged coastal habitats that support nearshore communities. Ruppia maritima (widgeon grass) is a widespread seagrass species that undergoes dramatic changes in morphology at the onset of reproduction. The goal of this study

Multiple factors contribute to reproductive isolation between two co-existing Habenaria species (Orchidaceae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Reproductive isolation is a key feature that forms barriers to gene flow between distinct plants. In orchids, prezygotic reproductive isolation has been considered to be strong, because their associations with highly specific pollinators.
