Moonlight and circadian clocks
Full moonlight negatively impacts photosynthesis and promotes transcription of redox genes suggesting that moonlight is in fact perceived as stress by coffee plants. Read the full article here.
Where does your apple come from in Europe?
A whole genome SNP reconstruction maps the pedigree of apple germplasms across Europe in this recently published study. Read the full article here.
Sweeten to induce flowering
FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) pathway that is central to flowering induces a sucrose transporter to facilitate sucrose uptake and induce flowering. Read the full article here.
Research Data Support for authors
Research Data Support is an optional Springer Nature service available to researchers who have datasets they want to make easier to cite, share and find. Learn more about this service and the many benefits of making your data publicly available.
BMC Series Focus Issue
January: Data sharing
Research data are the foundations of reliable and reproducible science. This month, we would like to highlight different ways authors were able to publish and share their data by choosing the BMC series.

What makes for sound science?
The inclusive threshold policy for publication in BMC journals including BMC Plant Biology means that editorial decisions are largely based on the soundness of the research presented rather than the novelty or potential impact of the work. Here our Editors discuss what is required to ensure that research meets the requirement of scientific soundness.
