Genome size links informational, structural, and functional dimensions of life
Interdsiciplinary approaches to environmental monitoring
A grant from NSF will support a collaboration with soft matter physicists to characterize and model 3D flower mesophyll tissue
The major driver influencing variation in 3D leaf mesophyll organization is the allometry of genome size and cell size
New paper explains how genome size limits maximum photosynthesis via its effects on cell sizes and packing densities.
The abrupt origin and rapid diversification of the flowering plants during the Cretaceous has long been considered an “abominable mystery.” While the cause of their high diversity has been attributed largely to coevolution with pollinators and …
Carbon dioxide is taken up by agricultural crops and released soon after during the consumption of agricultural commodities. The global net impact of this process on carbon flux to the atmosphere is negligible, but impact on the spatial distribution …
