Bacteria accumulate more rapidly on shorter lived flowers, but abiotic factors affect flower aging and bacterial accumulation Open
Outcomes of ecological interactions often depend on the abundance and identity of the organisms involved. Flower-bacteria interactions can strongly affect plant ecology, and the identities of epiphytic flower bacteria are relatively well d…

The Potential for Trypsin Inhibitor Expression in Leaves to Convey Herbivory Deterrence in Soybean Open
Soybean (Glycine max) is the most widely grown legume crop in the world, providing important economic value. Pest herbivory damage by insects and mammalian wildlife, in particular the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), limits yiel…

Salinity‐Induced Photorespiration in <i>Populus</i> Vascular Tissues Facilitate Nitrogen Reallocation Open
Adaptation to abiotic stress is critical for the survival of perennial tree species. Salinity affects plant growth and productivity by interfering with major biosynthetic processes. Detrimental effects of salinity may vary between differen…

VLM4Bio: A Benchmark Dataset to Evaluate Pretrained Vision-Language Models for Trait Discovery from Biological Images Open
Images are increasingly becoming the currency for documenting biodiversity on the planet, providing novel opportunities for accelerating scientific discoveries in the field of organismal biology, especially with the advent of large vision-…

Dynamics of Cry1Ac protein and soil enzyme activity in the rhizosphere of transgenic Bt oilseed rape Open
In this study, three insect-resistant transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) oilseed rape events (GT1, GT5 and GT9) under field conditions were utilised to analyse the dynamics of Cry1Ac protein and the changes in soil enzyme activities in…

Spatiotemporal metabolic responses to water deficit stress in distinct leaf cell-types of poplar Open
The impact of water-deficit (WD) stress on plant metabolism has been predominantly studied at the whole tissue level. However, plant tissues are made of several distinct cell types with unique and differentiated functions, which limits who…

Economic and Sustainability Impacts of Yield and Composition Variation in Bioenergy Crops: Switchgrass (<i>Panicum virgatum</i> L.) Open
Economically viable production of biobased products and fuels requires high-yielding, high-quality, sustainable process-advantaged crops, developed using bioengineering or advanced breeding approaches. Understanding which crop phenotypic t…

Novel synthetic inducible promoters controlling gene expression during water‐deficit stress with green tissue specificity in transgenic poplar Open
Summary Synthetic promoters may be designed using short cis ‐regulatory elements (CREs) and core promoter sequences for specific purposes. We identified novel conserved DNA motifs from the promoter sequences of leaf palisade and vascular c…
