guangdongensis, which may correlate with its rootless phenotype. c, Partial mycoheterotrophy. In contrast to full mycoheterotrophy, partially mycoheterotrophic orchids have similar numbers of photoreceptors and auxin efflux transporters, which are important for the development of leaves, to Pha. equestris...
The epidermis images obtained for this experiment underwent a staining procedure, which led to obtaining images with the original colour change of the leaves. For this reason, we converted the images to grayscale and then adopted a procedure for contrast enhancement to ensure there was no ...
Few animals form permanent burrows because wave action and the relatively large particle size of sand cause their collapse. However, exceptions can be found in those polychaete species that line their burrows with mucus or membranous materials. Many of the sand-dwelling polychaetes are deposit feeder...
with thick leathery leaves and shallow root systems. The nutritive, food-gathering roots are usually no more than a few centimetres deep. Rain falling on the forests drips down from the leaves and trickles down tree trunks to the ground, although a great deal of water is lost toleaftranspir...

The soil microbiome communicates with plant roots using a chemical language. Here, using p-coumaroyl-homoserine lactone as the synthetic communication signal, the authors demonstrate programmable microbe-to-plant communication from the sender in the soil bacteria to a receiver in the plant.
