Independent recruitment of a conserved developmental mechanism during leaf evolution
Article Abstract:
Records indicate that primitive vascular plants have branched stems with sporangia but have no leaves. The findings further states that recruitment of pathways to form leaves occurred independently and parallel in different plant lineages.

Coping with human CO2 emissions
Article Abstract:
New research gives further evidence of carbon dioxide's (CO2) link to stomatal development and provides pointers as to how plants will cope with increasing levels of atmospheric CO2 in the future.
