Guiding seed movement: environmental heterogeneity drives genetic differentiation in Plathymenia reticulata, providing insights for restoration by Taise Almeida Conceição and co-authors
The Secret of a Plant's Sexual Attraction Is Betrayed by the Shadow of Its Scent 
https://doi.org/phng
Botanists discover that plants seeking to sexually attract a pollinator may be hiding their stocks of potent perfumes in overlooked alkenes.
Plants stand still but studying them requires movement. Dr. Seheno Andriantsaralaza explains the challenges of plant research and her work with ancient baobabs in Madagascar at wp.me/pdRZhH-lSc
The Angiosperms353 probe set proved incredibly powerful. This study lays the foundation for deeper morphological studies, promising new insights into the macroevolutionary trajectories of Boraginales. (8/8)
Check the newly published article ‘An updated phylogeny of Boraginales based on the Angiosperms353 probe set: a roadmap for understanding morphological evolution’ in @AnnBot by Maria-Anna Vasile et al.(1/8)

Acquisition of green algal photobionts enables both chlorolichens and chloro-cyanolichens to activate photosynthesis at low humidity without liquid water by Fiona Ruth Worthy and co-authors
Trees that weaponise lightning strikes against competitors have been discovered in Panama. Researchers found Dipteryx trees survive multiple strikes that kill neighbouring plants, giving them a remarkable evolutionary advantage.
Some tropical trees not only survive lightning strikes…
