Darwin Reviews
Darwin Reviews are the Journal of Experimental Botany's most prestigious review series and topics are carefully chosen in the most progressive fields of research. Darwin Review authors are invited for their expertise and long-standing reputation. They are asked to provide new foresight and highlight contemporary perspective on topics of broad interest to the plant science community.
Latest Darwin Reviews
We propose that hormones can spend time ‘outside the plant’ in soil as ‘rhizocrine’ signals whose levels change following environmental stresses, feeding back to roots and triggering adaptive responses.
This review discusses the role of plant cell walls in determining plant resistance and highlights the contributions of the host, pathogens, and multifactorial stress to cell wall remodelling and integrity.
Chloroplast envelope proteins are critical for plant acclimation to environmental stress, influencing metabolic pathways and stress resistance.
Many nucleotides and their derivatives play important roles as molecular signals between the perception and response of plants to changes in their environment, including in pathogen defense, and recent advances in our knowledge are highlighted.
This review delves into major evolutionary alterations that shaped and diversified sulfur metabolism across the domains of life, highlighting the speciation that occurred in different plant taxa.
TALE homeodomain transcription factors are important regulators of development. They have fundamental roles in determining leaf shape and are important in generating the rich diversity of leaf shape found in nature.
Ascorbate (vitamin C) is essential for plant growth. Recent developments in understanding its functions and the control of its biosynthetic pathway via d -Man/l -Gal are reviewed.
With flooding events increasing due to climate change, the low oxygen tolerance of plants has become a very important research topic that has evolved thanks to research effort and recent progress.
