Silver nanoparticle seed priming as a redox-driven regulator of seed germination and stress memory

Botany One interviews Dr Diego Paredes-Burneo, a Peruvian botanist investigating how the extraordinary biodiversity of the Tropical Andes emerged through rapid and complex evolutionary processes.

New research shows that Dodonaea viscosa seeds rely on a tiny slit to let water in, and understanding how it opens could help germinate them.

Researchers found that ageing Brassica napus seeds lose not only vigour, but also microbial diversity, raising new questions about how we store seeds for the future.

A multidisciplinary hunt uncovers new populations of an endemic plant, while exposing the fragile balance that keeps it from disappearing.

New experiments in the Australian Alps reveal how warming, drought and fire quietly undermine plant survival.

Botany One interviews Bianca Schindler, a Brazilian botanist whose PhD research aims to document the diversity of the "canelas-de-ema" from Central Brazil and conserve them.

By tracking butterflies across urban parks, scientists uncover how city planning decisions influence not only which species survive, but how they live.
