Spatial Regulation of Silicon Accumulation in Peduncle Confers Sheathed Spike in Barley
ABSTRACT Peduncle, the uppermost internode in cereals, connects the stem to the inflorescence and is critical for the transport of water, nutrients and photosynthetic assimilates. While peduncle length associates with plant height and its elongation is primarily regulated by phytohormones, we report a previously unrecognized mechanism involving the ...

In many non-cultivated angiosperm species, seed dispersal is facilitated by the shattering of the seed head at maturity; in the Triticeae tribe, to which several of the world's most important cereals belong, shattering takes the form of a disarticulation

ABSTRACT The florigen protein TaFT1 coordinately regulates heading time and spikelet number per spike (SNS), serving as a key yield determinant in wheat. However, how its stability is post‐translationally controlled in the shoot apical meristem remains unclear.

Seed dispersal among wild species belonging to the tribe Triticeae is typically achieved by the formation of a brittle rachis. The trait relies on the development of a disarticulation layer, most frequently above the rachis node (resulting in wedge type ...

White patches of male capercaillie tails vary greatly in coverage and symmetry, but the amount of white or the symmetry of the patches was not associated with mate choice. Female choice does not appear to be based on the white patterns on the tail. Highly visible at dawn, the patches may instead facilitate individual identification.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Heatwaves are becoming increasingly frequent across the Mediterranean and pose critical challenges for small passerines, yet the physiological and morphological limits to their resilience remain poorly understood.

Pinellia pedatisecta has a simplified inflorescence structure, compared to its congeners with highly specialized trap pollination systems. However, our study suggests that P. pedatisecta also captures and releases pollinating insects by the spathe movement during flowering season.

ABSTRACT Bencomia exstipulata is a broad‐leaved evergreen shrub endemic to the high‐altitude harsh landscapes of the Canary Islands. Whether the extremely reduced distribution of its wild specimens (at around 2000 m a.s.l. in the National Parks of ‘El Teide’ and ‘Caldera de Taburiente’) responds to specific microclimatic needs remains undetermined ...

We describe unusual and mostly unreported morphological traits on colonies of the deep‐water sea pens Ptilella and Pennatula from the Northwest Atlantic, namely the presence of hypertrophied polyps, split polyp leaves, and autozooids budding on the surface of polyp leaves (as opposed to the edges). ABSTRACT Here we describe unusual morphological traits
