The symbiosis between cnidarians (eg, corals or sea anemones) and intracellular
dinoflagellate algae of the genus Symbiodinium is of immense ecological importance. In …

Plants collectively produce hundreds of thousands of specialized metabolites that are not
required for growth or development. Each species has a qualitatively unique profile, with …

Background Secondary metabolism contributes to the adaptation of a plant to its
environment. In wine grapes, fruit secondary metabolism largely determines wine quality …

Maize is both an exciting model organism in plant genetics and also the most important crop
worldwide for food, animal feed and bioenergy production. Recent genome-wide …

Wine is an ancient beverage and has been prized throughout time for its unique and
pleasing flavor. Wine flavor arises from a mixture of hundreds of chemical components …

ABSTRACT A common, long‐held belief is that metabolic rate drives the rates of various
biological, ecological and evolutionary processes. Although this metabolic pacemaker view …

Historically speaking, Arabidopsis was not the plant of choice for investigating
photosynthesis, with physiologists and biochemists favouring other species such as …

Omics and bioinformatics are essential to understanding the molecular systems that underlie
various plant functions. Recent game-changing sequencing technologies have revitalized …

In this review I show that four major kinds of theoretical approaches have been used to
explain the scaling of metabolic rate in cells, organisms and groups of organisms in relation …
