Make a year-end gift to BSA to support student botanical scientists! 🌿

Your donation to the Graduate Student Research Award (GSRA) fund empowers students like Chinedum Anajemba and directly impacts the number of awards given in 2025.

Donate today: crm.botany.org/makeadonation
Chinedum Anajemba, a graduate student and member of BSA, sits on a rocky outcrop under a bright blue sky. Next to him is a quote describing the impact of the J.S. Karling Graduate Student Research Award, which supported his research on polyploidy in ferns and affirmed the importance of his work. The Botanical Society of America logos are in the bottom corner of the image.

Summary bipartite network diagram showing mistletoe-host interactions across all Australian showy mistletoe genera. The top half displays host orders, each colored by major seed plant clade: asterid orders in shades of red, rosid orders in blue, basal eudicots in yellow, magnoliids in green, and conifers in brown. Dilleniales is marked in orange and Santalales in lime green. Tick marks represent increments of 100 observations.

Do plant-soil feedbacks occur *within* species in tropical forests? Our field experiment in Panama shows that whether a seedling grows near its maternal tree or another conspecific tree isn't the deciding factor for its survival. #AJB 1/6

Warb., Jacaranda copaia subsp. copaia Aubl., Pterocarpus officinalis Jacq., Symphonia globulifera L.f., Tachigali melinonii (Harms) Zarucchi & Herend, and Virola surinamensis (Rol. ex Rottb.) Warb. These species thrive in seasonally flooded forests, a unique and understudied ecosystem. (Image credit: Antia Iglesias, artist and PhD.)

Support botanical science students, like past winner @FetterlyEmma, by donating to the Graduate Student Research Award (GSRA) fund! Your donations directly impact the # of awards that we will give out in 2025!

Donate: crm.botany.org/makeadonation

GSRA info: botany.org/home/awards/aw…
This image shows Emma Fetterly and the following quote, "The GSRA had a huge impact on my research, allowing me to explore new questions and expand my project in exciting ways. With the award funds, I was able to do additional fieldwork and even bring an undergraduate student along to gain hands-on experience. I’m grateful to be part of a community that supports and values student research, thank you BSA!"

Within-leaf variation in embolism resistance is not a rule for compound-leaved #angiosperms

New #AJB research by Ian Rimer & Scott A. M. McAdam

doi.org/10.1002/ajb2.1… #botany @wileyplantsci
Representative images of an Oxalis debilis (A) and Chamaecrista fasciculata (B), with a black arrow pointing to the pulvini in each respective image. Images of a leaf in which a single embolism event that propagated through the pulvini is shown in color (C and D) with the corresponding water potential at which the embolism events occurred. All embolism events across the leaf were color-coded by the water potential at which they were observed (E and F). For each species, a color scale (G and H) depicting the water potential with each embolism event that occurred is shown below the corresponding image.
