POM parameter estimation led to a model that converged on manual parameterization.

Changes in leaf anatomy, more than hydraulics, allowed the ferns to thrive in a high light environment.

Successive years of epigenetic marking may allow trees to ‘remember’ the conditions of the past few years.

More so than reproductive or anatomical features, morphology defines evolutionary relationships among early vascular plants.

Analysis of over 3300 single copy genes has produced a well-supported topology with some significant changes.

Some associations hold true within closely related groups, but none span the breadth of CAM plants.

The plant has a unique arrangement for carrying out C4 photosynthesis without the typical C4 anatomy.

Hybridization between species has not been considered an important factor in the evolution of mosses. The moss life cycle has led many researchers to believe that the plants have very limited evolutionary potential and that hybrids tend to be nonviable. Complicating the study of moss hybrids is the fact that a lack of distinguishing morphological […]

Models considering only the maximum photosynthetic capacity for all leaves over-estimated net carbon dioxide exchange by nearly a third.

Plants react to both decreased red:far red ratio and decreased photosynthetically active radiation, and in different ways.

Subtle damage to hydrated tissue occurs at a far lower dosage than previously thought, and may be difficult to recognize.

Above a certain trauma threshold, male trees had a high probability of becoming female, possibly in a bid to better their chances at reproduction.
