Dicke thinks that a similar process might be happening through the plants’ roots and that the microbes that are digesting the chitin in the insect waste might also be acting as security for the plants by breaking down pathogenic fungi and making the plant resilient to pests. “Studies ...
This resulted in the production of the first “wiring diagram,” a network describing global neuronal connectivity (connectome) (Sporns et al., 2005). In the case of such an interaction network, cells are represented by nodes and their physical associations as edges. The network-based analyses...
cells migrate from different tissues in the stump to form a heterogeneous blastema. Colors in diagram represent cells from different lineages that retain a memory of the tissue of origin. The blastema regenerates the limb over 25 days with new tissues populated by cells descendent from the same...
Plant traits determine how individual plants cope with heterogeneous environments. Despite large variability in individual traits, trait coordination and trade-offs1,2 result in some trait combinations being much more widespread than others, as revealed in the global spectrum of plant form and function...
flower anatomyDiagram of the flower of a typical flowering plant (angiosperm). An individual flower may be complete, in that a given floral receptacle producessepals(often greenish and leaflike), petals (often white or coloured other than green),stamens, and a pistil (or pistils). The sepals...

Interestingly, one of these transporters, AtHAK5, is a carrier protein and thought to mediate active transport of potassium into plant roots, whereas the other protein, AKT1, is a channel protein and likely mediates a passive transport mechanism with an increased affinity for K+ under conditions ...
Figure 2. Diagram of hypothesised total plant–soil feedback (PSF) responses (Figure 1) to drought for fast-growing, poorly defended plants vs slow-growing, highly defended plants with high mycorrhizal dependence (y-axis) under moderate or extreme drought (x-axis). Boxes represent PSF under no...
Plants infected with pathogens develop a variety of symptoms, such as necrotic spots on leaves, stems, fruit, and roots; blights, that is, the sudden death of leaves and young shoots; cankers, that is, necrotic patches of bark and under-the-bark tissues of branches and trunks;vascular wil...
