episode 5: What's the deal with ferns and their epidermis?
New Friday, new Podcast! In this episode, we jump right into the study of fern stomata and resurrection plants in the desert. And we have a #plantsound today!
As always, let us know in the comments if you have any questions or thoughts on the topics we discuss. Have fun!
Joram’s paper: Hydraulics Regulate Stomatal Responses to Changes in Leaf Water Status in the Fern Athyrium filix–femina, Amanda A. Cardoso, Joshua M. Randall, Scott A. M. McAdam, Plant Physiology Feb 2019, 179 (2) 533-543; DOI: 10.1104/pp.18.01412

Tegan’s paper: Chloroplast breakdown during dehydration of a homoiochlorophyllous resurrection plant proceeds via senescence-like processes. Charuvi, D., Nevo, R., Aviv-Sharon, E., Gal, A., Kiss, V., Shimoni, E., … Reich, Z. (2019). Environmental and Experimental Botany, 157(August 2018), 100–111. DOI: 10.1016/j.envexpbot.2018.09.027
Joram’s favourite plant: Viscia orobus, and the ancient paper studying its chromosome structure.
Absolute highlight of year so far was a visit to @Treshnish Farm on Mull and this heavenly bank of Wood Bitter Vetch (Vicia orobus), testimony to the Carrington's sensitive approach to farming https://t.co/r5eUdOK4oh #wildflowerhour @Love_plants @BSBIbotany @PlantlifeScot pic.twitter.com/sevyVpEMwb
