Renewal bud traits as a link between whole plant traits and herbaceous species phenology
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Overwintering below‐ground buds and organs determine spring regrowth of perennial herbs in temperate regions. This effect could also manifest further in the timing and duration of plant growth and flowering and has been documented in some species and organ types ...

De novo stolon organogenesis in potato leaf callus elicited by Agrobacterium tumefaciens stimulus
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.Agrobacterium tumefaciens triggers stolon regeneration from potato leaf callus independent of T‐DNA insertion, suggesting a strategy to reprogram callus identity and expand the potential of tissue regeneration. ABSTRACT Plant cells can undergo cellular reprogramming, enabling pluripotent callus formation from excised leaves.
