Editor’s summary
The authors have tackled the problem of how best to design greenhouse experiments and the approaches that should be taken for statistical analysis of the data. For example, is it better to move plants around the greenhouse during an experiment or to leave them in the same place and account for the environmental gradients in the final statistical analysis?

Hydroponics is an extremely useful technique for growing plants under controlled nutrient conditions, particularly where clean roots are needed for physiological or microscopic analysis or for RNA extraction. The detailed protocol set out here should make it straightforward for other laboratories to rapidly and successfully adopt the technique. A video is also available at http://t.co/WoAYgYy84C.

Alexander McFarlane discusses the need for military personnel with serious medical illness to receive equal psychiatric monitoring as those who suffer from combat injuries, as a recent study shows that both groups have a similar risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder.
