The race between wheat and Zymoseptoria tritici epidemics
Full paper: https://buff.ly/2KQJ1wX FREE access for a limited time

Robert et al. explore how canopy growth, spatial organization, and leaf senescence impact epidemics of wheat Septoria tritici blotch (STB) caused by Zymoseptoria tritici. Strikingly, the timing of leaf senescence is one of the most influential traits. When the green lifespan duration of leaves is reduced epidemics are strongly reduced.

They introduce the notion of a race between the growing canopy and the developing epidemics. This race is twofold: (i) an upward race at the canopy scale where Z. tritici must keep up with the emerging leaves, (ii) a local race at the leaf scale where Z. tritici must use the resources before leaf apical senescence sets in. The results shed new light on the importance of dynamic interactions between host and pathogen.

If you go down to the woods today, you'll find some tissue in ferns that act like something you'd find in an angiosperm.

Hormone regulation of rhizome development « Botany One Rhizomes are underground stems serving as storage organs and containing meristematic tissues which are capable of generating shoots and roots. However, the mechanisms controlling rhizome formation and growth are not yet completely understood. Ma et al. find that cytokinins (CK) and gibberellins (GA)...
