Pollen Viability, Germination and Tube Elongation Responses to Heat Stress During the Reproductive Stage in Maize

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change‐induced heat stress increasingly threatens crop production, particularly when high temperatures occur during the sensitive flowering stage. In maize, successful fertilization depends on viable pollen, successful pollen germination and subsequent pollen tube elongation reaching the ovule.

Physiological and Morphological Responses of Soybean to Water Stress and Rehydration: Implications for Growth, Seed Yield and Quality

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rapid stomatal regulation is an early response associated with improved maintenance of leaf water status and post‐stress recovery in soybean, but it cannot fully offset the detrimental effects of severe drought on seed production. This study evaluated the physiological and morphological responses of soybean genotypes to progressive water ...

Heat Tolerance in Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) Is Associated With Coordinated Canopy Cooling and Reproductive Stability Under Field Conditions

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Elevated temperature during the reproductive phase severely constrains cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) productivity; however, the physiological and reproductive traits associated with heat tolerance under field conditions remain inadequately understood. In this study, 30 cowpea genotypes were evaluated across two locations and two sowing

Environmentally induced dynamics between intraindividual variation and trait means across vegetative, phenological, and floral traits

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Premise Intraindividual variation in reiterated structures (e.g., leaves) represents an important dimension of phenotypic variation that contributes to functional diversity and the dynamics of ecological communities. It can be expressed differently across plant traits, but how environmental drivers affect intraindividual variation in different

Seasonal variation in wind speed and oceanic salt spray favors delayed reproduction in coastal yellow monkeyflowers

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Premise The optimal timing of reproduction depends on the relative risk and benefit of continued growth. These risks and benefits depend on the local environment, which varies seasonally. While temperature and water availability are well‐studied selective agents on reproductive timing, less is known about other seasonally variable factors ...
