Functional characterization of NRT1/PTR FAMILY transporters: looking for a needle in a haystack

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1124-1144, February 2026.
Summary NRT1/PTR FAMILY (NPF) transporters play crucial roles in plant physiology and development due to their involvement in nitrogen nutrition and their ability to transport multiple signaling molecules and metabolites. Whereas most eukaryotic and prokaryotic NPF orthologs are peptide transporters, most flowering plant NPF transport other substrates ...

SWEET1‐mediated glucose transport is crucial for energy availability in Arabidopsis

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 1816-1830, February 2026.
Summary The stress‐responsive hormone abscisic acid (ABA) is known for its inhibitory effects on various physiological processes, including seed germination, often resulting in energy deprivation. Interestingly, ABA‐induced germination inhibition can be alleviated by exogenous glucose (Glc), mimicking a functional interplay between ABA and sugar ...

Integration of light quality signals regulates ABA abundance and stomatal movements during seedling establishment

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1253-1267, February 2026.
Summary Obtaining sufficient light for photosynthesis and avoiding desiccation are two key challenges faced by seedlings during early establishment. Perception of light quality via specialised photoreceptors signals the availability of sunlight for photosynthesis.

Isopod feces–mediated shifts in germination timing enhance seedling establishment

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 1909-1919, February 2026.
Summary Seedlings are particularly vulnerable to herbivory because their defenses are underdeveloped and their capacity to tolerate damage is limited. However, how seedlings cope with such threats remains poorly understood. Animal feces may provide important chemical cues that influence plant responses to herbivory.

Drying suppresses fine root production to 1 m depths and alters root traits in four distinct tropical forests

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 1992-2009, February 2026.
Summary Drying and drought in tropical forests, which have some of the highest net primary productivity on Earth, are likely to alter root dynamics, ecosystem function, and carbon (C) storage. We used a chronic drying experiment in four lowland Panamanian forests to investigate whether soil drying shifts tropical forest root production from surface to ...

Legacies of consecutive summer droughts on soil‐borne plant parasitic protists (Oomycota: Stramenopila and Phytomyxea: Rhizaria) and protistan consumers (Cercozoa: Rhizaria) along an experimental plant diversity gradient

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 2010-2024, February 2026.
Summary Increasing frequencies of severe summer droughts and plant diversity loss disrupt ecosystem functioning and stability of European grasslands. Understanding how these factors interact with pathogens is crucial. We investigated the effects of plant diversity and repeated summer drought on soil‐borne parasites within a grassland biodiversity ...
