«The leaves of the wild potatoes Solanum berthaultii and Solanum polyadenium are covered in sticky hairs and trap aphids and some other small pests, potentially opening the way to combine pest control with plant fertiliser.»

Plant physiology is fascinating. So many possibilities.

Parasitic plants, such as dodders, acquire and permanently integrate functional foreign genes from their host plants through horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Instead of merely preserving these stolen genes, the parasites structurally remodel them over millions of years while retaining their original biological functions.

Never loose hope : an experiment done by colleagues in 2015 (I was only marginally involved in some of the measurements) has finally been published 🙂 We were able to identify a transcription factor involved in the natural variation in whole-plant water use in Arabidopsis thaliana. Interestingly, trait-climate analyses indicated that temperature, rather than precipitation, was shaping genetic-geographic variation in whole plant water-use strategies in A. thaliana.

Leaf expansion (Botany 🌱)

Leaf expansion is a process by which plants make efficient use of the space around them by causing their leaves to enlarge, or wither. This process enables a plant to maximize its own biomass, whether it be due to increased surface area; which enables more sunlight to be absorbed by chloroplasts, driving the rate of photosynthesis upward, or it enables more stomata to be created o...

Plant canopy temperature—the actual heat experienced on leaf surfaces—is increasing at a significantly faster rate than ambient air temperature. Current climate models largely rely on air temperature, leading to a systematic underestimation of the thermal stress vegetation will face as global temperatures rise.

Plant stomata—microscopic pores responsible for gas exchange and water regulation—are functionally dependent on lipid-modifying enzymes that dictate the flexibility of their surrounding guard cells. Modifying these enzymes reduces pore mobility, which significantly decreases water loss and increases plant survival rates during droughts.
