Design of a unidirectional water valve in Tillandsia [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 AbstractThe bromeliad Tillandsia landbeckii thrives in the Atacama desert of Chile using the fog captured by specialized leaf trichomes to satisfy its water needs. However, it is still unclear how the trichome of T. landbeckii and other Tillandsia species is able to absorb fine water droplets during intermittent fog events while also preventing ...

Clearing the Noise: Seasonal Dynamics of Endophytic Bacteria in Fagus sylvatica Leaves Revealed by Application of PNA Clamps. [PDF]
Physiol PlantABSTRACT The characterization of the seasonal dynamics of endophytic bacteria in beech leaves can be hindered by co‐amplification of chloroplast and mitochondrial plant DNA. This study applies established peptide nucleic acid (PNA) clamps to suppress host‐derived amplification while resolving bacterial succession across the vegetative season ...

Floral Roles in Hummingbirds-Mediated Indirect Plant Interactions in Tropical Andean Communities. [PDF]
Ecol EvolHummingbirds connect plants by moving pollen. Some flowers primarily donate, while, others primarily receive, and these shifting roles influence plant reproductive success depending on abundance and nectar rewards, shaping plant reproduction in the tropical Andes. Chord diagrams represent heterospecific pollen transfer among 31 flowering species across

Humidity‐driven shape morphing enhances fog harvesting in porous cactus spines
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Spine straightening and water collection during fog exposure in Turbinicarpus alonsoi. Summary Cacti develop spines instead of conventional leaves, which often serve as mechanical defence against herbivores. However, some cactus species grow porous and flexible spines, suggesting fundamentally different functions.
