The number of flowers that an inflorescence is able to produce, and therefore the number of fruits and seeds, depends on the activity of the shoot apical meristem (SAM) and the length of the flowering period. In monocarpic plants, the end of flowering is associated with a senescence process called global…

The current epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes have led to considerable interest in the commercial development of non-sugar sweeteners to reduce calorie intake. Trilobatin. a plant-based sweetener that is ~100X sweeter than Suc, is found at high concentrations in the leaves of a range of crabapple…
