BMC Plant Biology 2013, 13:29Uncovering a mosaic species
Leaves displaying marked variation in herbivore defence from a single phenotypically mosaic Eucalyptus tree reveal many genes that are differentially expressed between the two chemotypes, and evidence of a genetic ‘master switch’ controlling these traits.

BMC Plant Biology 2012, 12:245Systems biology resources for maize
The OPTIMAS Data Warehouse (OPTIMAS-DW) is a comprehensive collection of data for maize, integrating data from different domains such as transcriptomics, metabolomics, ionomics, proteomics and phenomics, and particularly supports systems biological research

BMC Plant Biology 2012, 12:232Root growth in zero gravity
Arabidopsis plants grown in the absence of gravity exhibit the same root growth morphology as controls grown on earth, indicating that their characteristic skewing and waving patterns are a gravity independent phenomenon.

BMC Plant Biology 2012, 12:231Plants in space
Stanley Roux comments on the role of gravity in plant root growth, and how new results from the International Space Station suggest that other explanations may be needed to account for the patterns observed when plants grow on solid surfaces.

BMC Plant Biology 2012, 12:225Biochemistry of the black dahlia
The distinctive coloration of the few black-flowered cultivars of the popular dahlia plant is the result of a dramatic increase in the accumulation of metabolites known as anthocyanins, at the expense of related chemicals called flavones.

Scope
BMC Plant Biology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of plant biology, including molecular, cellular, tissue, organ and whole organism research.
It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.
