I still stand by my original comment, it would have been nice to have the type of plant studied included in the article and or in the synopsis of the paid article.

"The plants used in this study are Arabidopsis thaliana" was this information in the story and I just missed it? Or are you making that assumption due to that being a "very commonly used model organism in plant biology"? The plant image used at the top of the article looks nothing like rock cres but instead more like some sort of hosta or lilly pad, I wonder if the image plant is shaped that way to catch and funnel water away from its roots? Just as a palm does the opposite? Anyways I could go on, just wish they had included the species in the article.

[Thaliana]

Checking the article again I got it from the "More Information" box at the bottom of the article. The paper is titled "In vivo evidence for a regulatory role of phosphorylation of Arabidopsis Rubisco activase at the Thr78 site" so that means A. thaliana.

The picture is certainly misleading, I guess they just grabbed a generic "plants in a rainforest" picture for evocative reasons.
