Clocking into the internal rhythm of #wheat plants

Circadian clocks of wheat can provide a window into the plant’s nutrient content & life cycle, finds new research that could improve agricultural production and crop resilience in a changing climate.

In a recent greenhouse study, researchers showed that yellow flag iris plants, working in symbiosis with fungi on their roots, can take up and transform certain PFAS compounds from water. This plant–fungus partnership enhanced pollutant removal compared with plants alone.

Phytoplankton is the basic food source for many aquatic organisms. A new study shows that the light spectrum is more important for these microalgae and for lake ecosystems than previously assumed.

A team of plant scientists has made a breakthrough on how potato plants defend themselves against Spongospora subterranea f. sp. subterranea (Sss)—the soilborne pathogen that causes powdery scab, an emerging disease affecting potato crops

Poplar tree discovery could help shape the future of energy and biomaterials

A study uncovers how a variation in a natural substance called #lignin supports natural environmental adaptation and improved bioenergy production.

A volcano erased an island’s plants. Their DNA revealed how life starts over

Their findings offer a rare glimpse into the very earliest stages of ecosystem development in an isolated environment.

Final step in the biosynthesis of iridoids elucidated

Iridoid-producing plants use a cyclase to synthesize the characteristic double-ring structure of this important class of defense compounds and medically relevant substances

Nature conservation policies are trying to safeguard forests all over the world. But it seems like less-flashy ecosystems, like grasslands, are getting left behind. Experts say these ecosystems are being neglected by current conservation efforts.

I was a member of a scientific society for many years before joining the staff nearly 20 years ago, and I endorse this position!
I encourage everyone to find and join a relevant scientific society (or several). You can engage with their programs and benefit directly, or just support their mission.
Why do scientific societies matter now more than ever?

Scientists board explore how societies support researchers, foster global collaboration, & shape the future of science. A must-read for all career stages 👍
