plantguy April 24, 2012 May 8, 2012Flowering, Plant Development, plant genes 0

We’ve seen that some plant species flower “autonomously” , that is, with little or no regard to environmental signals. However, most of what is known about how plants make flowers comes from research on plants that do rely on environmental guidance for flower initiation. It’s Time To Flower The correct…

Last time we had a taste of HOW plants tell time. But what, if any, are the adaptive advantages to plants for doing so? It has long been presumed that the ability to anticipate day/night cycles gives organisms a fitness advantage. For instance, this would allow plants to anticipate daylight…

How Do We Know Plants Can Tell Time? The daily opening and closing of flowers and the rhythmic leaf movement of some plants suggests, even to the casual observer, that plants have an internal clock. To more careful observers, such as Carl Linnaeus and Charles Darwin, the evidence was clear…

Does Ingested Plant Material Regulate Your Gene Expression? Research results published in the journal Cell Research provide evidence that small bits of genetic material from ingested plants may regulate gene expression in animals. (for the original paper, see Ref 1 below; and summaries of these findings can be found in…
