Plants, Vol. 8, Pages 253: The Dynamic Genetic-Hormonal Regulatory Network Controlling the Trichome Development in Leaves Plants doi: 10.3390/plants8080253 Authors: Marco Fambrini Claudio Pugliesi Plant trichomes are outgrowths developed from an epidermal pavement cells of leaves and other organs. Trichomes (also called ‘hairs’) play well-recognized roles in defense against insect herbivores, forming a physical barrier that obstructs insect movement and mediating...

Plants, Vol. 8, Pages 252: Circadian Network Interactions with Jasmonate Signaling and Defense

Plants, Vol. 8, Pages 252: Circadian Network Interactions with Jasmonate Signaling and Defense Plants doi: 10.3390/plants8080252 Authors: Bryan Thines Emily V. Parlan Elena C. Fulton Plants experience specific stresses at particular, but predictable, times of the day. The circadian clock is a molecular oscillator that increases plant survival by timing internal processes to optimally match these environmental challenges. Clock regulation of jasmonic acid (JA) action is important...

Plants, Vol. 8, Pages 250: Soybean Yield and Seed Composition Changes in Response to Increasing Atmospheric CO2 Concentration in Short-Season Canada Plants doi: 10.3390/plants8080250 Authors: Elroy R. Cober Malcolm J. Morrison From 1993, we have conducted trials with the same set of old to newer soybean cultivars to determine the impact of plant breeding on seed yield, physiological and agronomic characteristics, and seed composition. Since 1993, global atmospheric [CO2] increased...
