Botany One interviews Dr Mariana S. Artur, a Brazilian scientist who found her way to the Netherlands to study the wonders of seeds and plant resilience.

This week, why seeds aren't spreading, the deep roots of modern wheat and deceitful orchids.

How sun orchids fool bees with false promises of pollen

Modern wheat has deeper roots than ancient wheats: is this an adaptation to higher productivity?

We often hear about species populations declining. But what about the services that those species provide? One of the most remarkable is seed dispersal. Last year, Mendes and colleagues published an article in Science shedding light on the conservation status of seed dispersal in Europe.

This week, life after fire, how history aids ecology and an arms race between plants and bugs.

The ancient evolutionary struggle between plants and insect herbivores never fails to surprise us. Science proven, watch it yourself!

Researchers found a rise in non-native species, particularly in woodlands near urban areas, indicating potential long-term damage to these ecosystems.

Botany One interviews Sarah McInness, an Australian chemist who found her way into how plants regenerate after fire.

This week, a fertiliser time-bomb, a taxonomic mistake that led to some odd results, and the fascination of seeds.

For 20 years, Mexican communities accidentally planted millions of endangered trees, while simultaneously logging thousands in their natural habitat, without knowing it.

Botany One interviews Dr Filip Vandelook, a Belgian botanist fascinated by seeds and sharing botanical knowledge with the public.
