Leveraging machine learning and citizen science data to describe flowering phenology across South Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1132-1144, July 2026.
Recent shifts in flowering times are an index of, and a response to, human driven climate change. However, most information on these flowering changes is heavily skewed to the northern hemisphere. This imbalance limits our understanding of how climate change is affecting ecosystems, including the mismatches of flowering times between species, increased

Root economic space is associated with rhizosphere microbial divergence via root metabolite‐mediated pathways in degraded grasslands

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2068-2082, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Grasslands worldwide are experiencing severe degradation due to overgrazing, climate change and anthropogenic disturbances, resulting in substantial declines in biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.

Developmental plasticity drives converge nt shifts in phosphorus acquisition strategies towards root phosphatase activity in Moso bamboo under nitrogen addition

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2221-2236, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition is a major driver of global change. However, its effects on the developmental plasticity of plant nutrient strategies remain poorly understood.

Specimen‐tailored ‘lived’ climate reveals precipitation onset and amount best predict specimen phenology, but only weakly predict estimated reproduction across a clade

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 768-781, July 2026.
Summary Herbarium specimens are widely distributed in space and time, thereby capturing diverse conditions. We reconstructed specimen ‘lived’ climate from knowledge of germination cues and collection dates for 14 annual species in the Streptanthus (s.l.) clade (Brassicaceae) to ask: which climate attributes best explain specimen phenological stage and ...

Documenting biodiversity with digital data: comparing and contrasting the efficacy of specimen‐based and observation‐based approaches

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 721-736, July 2026.
Summary Digitized herbarium specimens and iNaturalist observations provide invaluable plant biodiversity data. Combining these two data sources could create a more holistic representation of local biodiversity; however, understanding biases inherent to each is critical to determine how to best combine and utilize these data.

Harnessing the benefits of herbarium specimen digitisation for inferring recent and ongoing plant extinctions

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 677-688, July 2026.
Summary Evidence for the ongoing biodiversity crisis rests on assessment of a small fraction of described species, with major knowledge gaps for most organisms, including plants. Here, we highlight how digitised herbarium specimens can be used to accelerate and improve estimates of recent and ongoing plant extinctions.

The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 46-63, July 2026.
Summary Fog and dew represent minor components of ecosystem water budgets in most ecosystems. However, fog and dew can play an essential role in ecosystem dynamics and are particularly important for water‐limited systems. In addition to serving as direct water inputs, fog and dew can influence microclimate and water redistribution, thereby promoting ...

Inhibition of jasmonic acid‐isoleucine conjugating enzyme JAR1 shifts the local and systemic leaf signals and metabolic profiles in Arabidopsis

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 424-437, July 2026.
Summary Jasmonates (JAs)‐mediated pathways are central signaling hubs in plant defense responses. However, the identification of mobile and nonmobile signals involved in downstream systemic signaling is still less studied. Here, we investigate the role of the jasmonic acid‐isoleucine (JA‐Ile) conjugating enzyme, JAR1, in shifting wound‐induced local ...

Dissecting the genetic basis of drought escape across multiple traits in colonizing Arabidopsis thaliana lineages

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 537-554, July 2026.
Cape Verde Islandspopulations experience seasonal drought and high humidity during the growing season, driving drought escape strategies relative to their Moroccan outgroup. Summary Drought response in plants is complex, involving integration across a range of physiological processes.

局部根系干旱条件下分蘖期水稻对供氮形态的生物学响应

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2005
采用室内分根营养液培养及PEG模拟水分胁迫的方法,研究不同氮素形态(NH4 -N、NO3--N、NH4 -N/NO3--N比为50/50)对水稻局部根系遭遇水分胁迫后的生物学响应状况。结果表明,在非水分胁迫的条件下,供应NO3--N营养相对促进分蘖期水稻的根系发育,而供应NH4 -N营养相对促进分蘖期水稻的地上部发育;在局部根系受到水分胁迫的条件下,NH4 -N和NO3--N混合营养水稻生物量增量分别比全NO3--N和全NH4 -N营养水稻高31.7%和37.7%,其中地上部生物量增量也分别比全NO3--
