Revisiting the relationship between stomatal size and speed across species – a meta‐analysis

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The rate of stomatal opening and closure in response to changes in light affects leaf photosynthesis and water use. However, it is unclear how strongly stomatal size (SS) and density (SD) influence stomatal conductance (gs) kinetics, and whether variation arises from methodological differences, guard cell type or degree of amphistomaty.

Modes of entry of petroleum distilled spray-oils into insects: a review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Petroleum oils are some of the oldest and safest pesticides in use. In spite of the numerous improvements achieved in oil technology, the mode of entry and the insecticide action mechanism of these products have been the subject of considerable debate ...

Canalized to heat, plastic to cold: adaptive coordination of leaf and seed strategies in populations spanning an elevational gradient

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary In tropical mountains, surviving temperature extremes demands finely tuned strategies. We investigated how populations of the bromeliad Pitcairnia flammea across a 2200 m elevational gradient balance genetic canalization and plasticity, and whether thermal strategies are coordinated between seeds and leaves.

Decoding plant defense signaling using the defenseless mutant

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Can plants live without defenses? Mutant analysis in Arabidopsis thaliana has identified numerous regulators of biotic, abiotic, and hormone‐based defenses, but the redundancy among separate defense pathways remains unexplored. We constructed an Arabidopsis mutant, defenseless, lacking six canonical defense pathways using abi1‐1 (abscisic acid),

A Study of Phytoplankton Dynamics in Lake Fayetteville as a Means of Assessing Water Quality [PDF]

open access: yes, 1971
Phytoplankton community was analyzed for seasonal and vertical distribution in Lake Fayetteville. This northwest Arkansas reservoir maintains a stable water level and chemical input with a relatively constant, slow overflow.

A PLETHORA3/7 transcription factor shapes cucumber shoot architecture

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary PLETHORA transcription factors (PLTs) are master regulators of plant development. Loss of shoot meristematic PLTs leads to reduced phyllotactic regularity and robustness in Arabidopsis and increased inflorescence branching in tomato. Whether these factors have similar functions in other species is not known.
