    The circadian clock controls temporal and spatial patterns of floral development in sunflower

    Carine M Marshall, Veronica L Thompson ... Stacey L Harmer
    The circadian clock acts with light response pathways to tightly synchronize daily rhythms in maturation of hundreds of florets in sunflower, promoting timely visits by pollinators and creating ring-like patterns on developing heads.

    Evolutionary routes to biochemical innovation revealed by integrative analysis of a plant-defense related specialized metabolic pathway

    Gaurav D Moghe, Bryan J Leong ... Robert L Last
    Integrative analysis of a specialized metabolic pathway across multiple non-model species illustrates mechanisms of emergence of chemical novelty in plant metabolism.
  1. Helping the neighbours: an interview with Meredith Schuman

    Meredith Schuman was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, and is currently leading a junior research group at the German Center for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv), where she investigates the ecological roles of genes in populations of the wild tobacco plant Nicotiana attenuata. She hopes to find a tenure-track position in molecular chemical ecology when funding for her current position ends in 2017. Her hobbies include reading, writing, running, hiking, bodyweight training and travel, and she loves teaching.
