Chlorophyll (Chl) is indispensable for photosynthesis. In association with Chl-binding
proteins (CBPs), it is responsible for light absorption, excitation energy transfer, and charge …

Ageing in plants is a highly coordinated and complex process that starts with the birth of the
plant or plant organ and ends with its death. A vivid manifestation of the final stage of leaf …

In a context of accelerated human-induced biodiversity loss, remote sensing (RS) is
emerging as a promising tool to map plant biodiversity from space. Proposed approaches …

Sweet basil is one of the most important culinary herbs. Currently, its production is carried
out mainly in accordance with conventional agriculture. However, its cultivation in organic …

Isoprene, a major biogenic volatile hydrocarbon of climate‐relevance, indisputably mitigates
abiotic stresses in emitting plants. However functional relevance of constitutive isoprene …

Salinity is a deleterious abiotic stress factor that affects growth, productivity, and physiology
of crop plants. Strategies for improving salinity tolerance in plants are critical for crop …

Ecologists often invoke interspecific facilitation to help explain positive biodiversity–
ecosystem function relationships in plant communities, but seldom test how it occurs. One …

Plant leaves are green because they contain the green photosynthetic pigments,
chlorophylls a and b. Popular science literature, and sometimes even textbooks, state that …

SENESCENCE-ASSOCIATED GENE 13 (SAG13) of Arabidopsis is a widely conserved
gene of unknown function that has been extensively used as a marker of plant senescence …

Instead of red anthocyanins, birches synthesise colourless (to human eye), UV-absorbing
flavonols during autumn senescence. To test if flavonols protect against insects, and if …
