#openaccess Understanding seed lifespan is allowing seedbanks like @kingspark_wa to prioritise seed collection for wild species conservation, writes Sundari Balasubramaniam & colleagues from @MUniResearch @uwanews @AarhusUni_int

Happy #ThickTrunkTuesday! 🌲 Tasmania is a global hotspot for giant trees! 🌏🌳 #DahlFellow Brett Mifsud & team found 18+ eucalypts over 90m, with ‘Centurion’ standing at 96m. Read the study: https://t.co/CHoxRrMjVW & Guardian coverage: https://t.co/pl8SG17pdF 🌿 📸: Supplied

#openaccess Eucalytpus regnans confirmed the tallest flowering plant in the world, following survey of Tasmanian wet forests. Brett Mifsud & colleagues @utas_ @UW_SEFS

#openaccess Heat from fire triggers germination of golden top wattle seeds (Acacia mariae) - particularly following very severe, intense fires, writes Boyd Wright & colleagues @UniNewEngland @UQ_News

Good news for authors in lower income countries wishing to publish #OpenAccess. Through our partnership with @R4LPartnership we are now able to waiver Author Processing Charges for authors from eligible regions for most of our journals. Details: https://t.co/XRrVhq6IQ6

1:30 PM UPDATE, THURS 23 JAN: The time has finally come! Putricia has started to bloom. Palm House will be open until midnight tonight (Thursday) and reopen from 8am tomorrow (Friday). https://t.co/IZkhEn1le1

#openaccess No increase in detections although greaster sampling of sentinel host species needed to monitor Phytophthora cinnamomi disease progression in southern Sydney. Tanya Mason and colleagues @CES_UNSW

#openaccess Biocontrols manage invasive plants & can impact related, non-target species. Stephanie Chen & colleagues from @Parks_Australia @CSIRO use molecular analysis to determine whether the rare daisy fleabane (Erigeron conyzoides) might be at risk

New Year, new paper. We're half way through the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021 - 2030), and fittingly, Jamie Kirkpatrick (requiescat in pace) and colleagues report on 50 years native vegetation change in Hobart's urban parklands @utas

Have you heard about the Australian Reference Genome Atlas? It's a digital atlas researchers can use to easily discover and work with genomic data. 🌱🐨🧬 Researchers can use this resource to to better-understand the environment 🌳 https://t.co/nhl61U5xtN

Giant Hairy Pitcher Plant Discovered In Northern Borneo | Sabah Forestry Department, Cairns Botanic Gardens Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria @RBG_Victoria, published by @AusJBotany by @GrrlScientist #NewSpecies #botany #conservation #Borneo #SciComm https://t.co/tWb9BAJbFQ

#New paper: Leandro Dias da Silva & colleagues from @UesbOficial report on a faster, cheaper field-ready method to estimate chlorophyll content in Eucalyptus urophylla and Khaya senegalensis seedlings

Named after the orangutan 🦧, a new pitcher plant is described from Borneo by Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria botanist Dr Alastair Robinson @botanydoc and colleagues in Malaysia. See: https://t.co/WmXBTkjPoL 📸: A. Damit; A. Robinson; Nur Adillah Yusof #RBGVScience @RBG_Victoria

Hey plant people! Australian Journal of Botany has its own new handle ⁦@AusJBotany⁩ Please follow to get all the latest highlights. Fun fact: ⁦@jmorganecology⁩ and I (here looking out to AJB's bright future😊) are the Editors-in-Chief. Come say hi at #ESAus2024

Macairea radula is an evergreen shrub native Brazil, Bolivia & Paraguay, often parasitised by gall wasps. New research by Patrícia Santos Dias & colleagues @UFU_Oficial reveals how gall wasp pupae induce nutritive changes in the cells of their host

Throwback to our 2016 special issue on rare plants, where we explored the genetics, ecology, and conservation of highly threatened species across Australia.

Journal Manager @PattedPlants has been at #IC24 this week, chatting to delegates about @AusJChem, as well as catching up with Editor-in-Chief @gakoutsantonis & Social Media Ed @CheMasnun. Be sure to drop by our stand tomorrow for a chat! #Inorganic24 #AusJChem @RACI_Inorganic

We're at ##ESAus2024 in Melbourne! Visit Briana (right) at the @CSIROPublishing stand to chat about publishing with us or our sister journals.

New paper: obligate seeding (repopulation via seed germination) enables #Banksia cunninghamii populations to persist after fire. But increasing fire frequency & severity threatens the future of this species, writes Annette Muir & colleagues @DEECA_Vic
