ABSTRACT Extreme heat can push plants beyond their thermal safety margin (TSM) if maximum leaf temperature (Tleaf_max) exceeds leaf critical temperature (Tcrit). The TSM is potentially useful for assessing heat vulnerability across species but needs further validation, so we exposed 50 tree/shrub species in controlled glasshouses to a 6‐day heatwave ...

ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

Leaf Tissue‐Specific Phosphorus Allocation Is Linked to Leaf Lifespan in Chickpea Accessions
ABSTRACT Plants strategically allocate phosphorus (P) among leaf tissues to support physiological functions. However, there is limited understanding of contrasting leaf cellular P‐allocation patterns and their physiological consequences. We quantified leaf P fractions, photosynthetic P‐use efficiency (PPUE), and P‐remobilisation efficiency (PRE) in ...

Cuticular Waxes in Altered Environments and Their Role in Leaf Water Loss Dynamics
ABSTRACT Cuticular waxes undeniably form the primary barrier restricting uncontrolled water loss from leaves, yet the functional consequences of environmentally induced wax modifications for residual (cuticular) transpiration remain a matter of debate. This review summarises current knowledge on how major abiotic stimuli influence foliar cuticular wax ...

ABSTRACT The timing of autumn leaf senescence is driven by external cues such as temperature and photoperiod and is strongly regulated by internal developmental processes. Correlative evidence suggests that earlier budburst and warmer conditions in spring and summer could accelerate development and advance senescence, yet this hypothesis remains ...
