A 50‐year look‐back on the efficacy of limited transpiration traits: does the evidence support the recent surge in interest? Open
Summary We examine limited transpiration (LT) traits in crop species, which are claimed to conserve early season water for critical late season growth. Despite there being theoretical support for LT crops, we suggest that there is insuffic…

Some unique anatomical scaling relationships among genera in the grass subfamily Pooideae Open
Members of the grass family Poaceae have adapted to a wide range of habitats and disturbance regimes globally. The cellular structure and arrangements of leaves can help explain how plants survive in different climates, but these traits ar…

Development and application of an inexpensive open-source dendrometer for detecting xylem water potential and radial stem growth at high spatial and temporal resolution Open
There is currently a need for inexpensive, continuous, non-destructive water potential measurements at high temporal resolution (<1 min). We describe here the development and testing of an entirely open-source dendrometer that, when com…

Surface‐Assisted Self‐Assembly of a Hydrogel by Proton Diffusion Open
Controlling supramolecular growth at solid surfaces is of great importance to expand the scope of supramolecular materials. A dendritic benzene‐1,3,5‐tricarboxamide peptide conjugate is described in which assembly can be triggered by a pH …

Trait selection and community weighting are key to understanding ecosystem responses to changing precipitation regimes Open
Plant traits can be used to predict ecosystem responses to environmental change using a response–effect trait framework. To do this, appropriate traits must be identified that explain a species' influence on ecosystem function (“effect tra…

Cover Feature: Mannose‐Decorated Multicomponent Supramolecular Polymers Trigger Effective Uptake into Antigen‐Presenting Cells (ChemBioChem 9/2018) Open
The cover feature picture shows the supramolecular copolymerisation of a dendritic peptide amphiphile monomer bearing mannosides and a second monomer carrying tetra(ethylene glycol)s and labelled with a Cy3 fluorescent probe. The multicomp…
