Why do xerophytes have a thick cuticle




















Whilst no evidence is presented that the insects facilitate transfer of pollen between male and female flowers directly nor is such a claim made , the authors suggest that insect pollen-foraging activities may contribute to release of pollen into the air.

What can we take from the Old Year? There Mr Cuttings took the bold step to lay bare the creative processes that lie behind a Cuttings collection [1]. Apart from that, it was business as usual. I have to admit to a certain fondness for the January item that considered fir trees and their chemical warfare against firebugs [2]. It was also pleasing to include a mention for leaf-trapping plants in March [4] , and psammophorous plants in August [5] , and to give a positive story about plants and nanoparticles in September [6].

The finding that lichens are in a symbiotic relationship of three at least? Further insights into plant sensory capabilities was a highlight of December [8].

Spines - some plants have spines instead of leaves eg cacti. Spines lose less water than leaves so are very efficient in a hot climate. Spines also prevent animals from eating the plant. Waxy skin - some leaves have a thick, waxy skin on their surface.

This reduces water loss by transpiration.
