Stresses, like cold and salt stress, impact plant growth. Not only during the stress but also during the recovery. Now Canadian researchers discovered how during stress plants pause their cell division, which they continue after the stress is gone.

Inheriting mitochondria
Like most eukaryotes, plants get their mitochondria from one of their parents. Most often it is the maternal line that provides them. Now a group of international researchers found out that in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) paternal mitochondria slip through more often than first thought.
A genetic roadmap of a barley spikelet
The development of barley spikelts goes accompanied with lots of genetic decisions. To get more insight into this, German researchers created a genetic roadmap of the developing barley spikelet.
Synchronised flowers
Plants synchronise the opening of their flowers with the scent production of those flowers. But how this is regulated is still not completely clear. Now a group of Korean researchers found the circadian gene that coordinates this synchrony.
