  • Vascular plants use osmotic pressure differences to transport sugars. A synthetic microfluidic model explores the nonlinear dynamics of this process, showing that passive loading is sufficient to drive long-distance transport in large plants and trees.

  • The design and operation of a microfluidic system formed in a synthetic hydrogel which captures the main attributes of transpiration in plants is reported. The microfluidic 'synthetic tree' has a root system that enables the continuous extraction of liquid water from a subsaturated vapour into negative pressures in the liquid phase, stabilization and flow of liquid water at large negative pressures through the 'trunk' and continuous heat transfer with the evaporation of liquid water at negative pressures through an analagous leaf system.

  • Flowers are well known for attracting pollinators with visual and olfactory displays. Here, the authors show that in a nocturnal, desert pollination system, flower choice by pollinators is also mediated by floral humidity.
