Review: On tree longevity (New Phytol)
Plant Science Research WeeklyEveryone enjoys hearing about ancient trees that have been alive since various events in human history, but did you ever stop to wonder why some trees live for millennia and others don’t? If so, you’ll want to read this Tansley Review by Piovesan and Biondi. One of their first observations is that…

Genomic mechanisms of climate adaptation in polyploid bioenergy switchgrass (Nature)
Plant Science Research WeeklySwitchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is a tall, perennial species native to the prairies of North America. Switchgrass is well-known for its uses as a biofuel and forage crop. However, switchgrass is also a fascinating model to investigate how plants adapt to changing environments, as historical glacial cycles…
