Cell Size Controls Photosynthetic Capacity in a Mesoamerican and an Andean Genotype of Phaseolus vulgaris L.

This study compares photosynthetic performance between Mesoamerican and Andean Phaseolus vulgaris genotypes, showing that smaller cell sizes enhance photosynthetic capacity through increased stomatal conductance and mesophyll conductance.

Heat stress at the bicellular stage inhibits sperm cell development and their transport into pollen tubes

The paper shows heat stress at the bicellular stage of pollen development impairs sperm cell development and transport, leading to sterility in maize.

Environmental conditions predetermine innate antioxidants pool in sea oat (Uniola 4 paniculata L.) seeds

This study examines how environmental conditions affect antioxidant levels in sea oat seeds, finding that extreme climates correlate with higher baseline antioxidants, while imbibition-induced antioxidants relate to poor germination in warm conditions.
