Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroid-type phytohormones that are essential for plant growth, development and adaptation to environmental stresses. BRs promote cell wall remodelling through extensive reprogramming of gene expression, thus impacting on cell elongation and hypocotyl growth. The existence of non-genomic responses to BRs is however still ...
SUMMARY Hydathodes are small organs found on the leaf margins of vascular plants which release excess xylem sap through a process called guttation. While previous studies have hinted at additional functions of hydathode in metabolite transport or auxin metabolism, experimental support is limited. We conducted comprehensive transcriptomic, metabolom...
While Epipactis palustris has been documented for the first time in Lebanon (at Mount Lebanon Governorate), this presence in the Middle East outside its classical range questions us. The species is widely distributed through Europe until Central Asia, but this southernmost location is isolated from the Turkish nearest ones from at least 500 km. Its...
Non-pathogenic bacteria can substantially contribute to plant health by mobilizing and supplying nutrients, providing protection against pathogens, and alleviating abiotic stresses. However, the number of genome-wide association studies reporting the genetic architecture of the response to individual members of the beneficial microbiota remains lim...
Reproductive mode, i.e., the proportion of individuals produced by clonality, selfing and outcrossing in populations, determines how hereditary material is transmitted through generations. It shapes genetic diversity and its structure over time and space, which can be used to infer reproductive modes. Ludwigia grandiflora subsp. hexapetala (Lgh) is...
Abstract Medicago truncatula Nod Factor Perception (MtNFP) plays a role in both the Rhizobium‐Legume (RL) symbiosis and plant immunity, and evidence suggests that the immune‐related function of MtNFP is relevant for symbiosis. To better understand these roles of MtNFP, we sought to identify new interacting partners. We screened a yeast‐2‐hybrid cDN...
Bees can facilitate cross-pollination in crops by moving pollen between distinct crop genotypes or cultivars, with pollination success dependent on both bee behavior and planting arrangement. Previous research suggests that bees forage primarily along crop rows, and deposit pollen relatively close to its source, which suggests that crosspollination...

Este texto hace parte de un proyecto de investigación comparativa transdisciplinaria en historia, ciencias naturales y arte sobre el conocimiento popular y su relación con el conocimiento académico a través de la botánica y, en particular, a través del caso de la Expedición Botánica al Reino de la Nueva Granada. Esta expedición, fundamental para Co...
The fascinating scent of rose (Rosa genus) flowers has captivated human senses for centuries, making them one of the most popular and widely used floral fragrances. Despite much progress over the last decade, many biochemical pathways responsible for rose scents remain unclear. We analyzed the floral scent compositions from various rose varieties a...
