Harnessing halophyte‐derived allelochemicals and signaling molecules to enhance salinity tolerance in crops

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Premise Soil salinization is a growing global challenge that significantly reduces agricultural productivity by impairing seed germination, growth, and yield. While conventional crops have limited tolerance to high salinity, halophytes are promising biological models for developing strategies to sustain agriculture in saline environments and ...

A practical and easy‐to‐scale protocol for removing chlorophylls from leaf extracts

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, Volume 13, Issue 4, July-August 2025.
Abstract Premise Leaf extracts are valuable sources of bioactive compounds. However, co‐extracted chlorophylls interfere with analyses, including spectroscopic and biochemical assays. Existing methods for chlorophyll removal often have limitations, including the use of hazardous solvents, low specificity, or high costs.

Using Yearly‐Resolved Time Series to Disentangle Interannual Variability, Directional Change, and Pseudoturnover in Plant Community Composition

open access: yesJournal of Vegetation Science, Volume 36, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Change in species composition over time is the result of both interannual variability and directional change, but their relative importance can be clouded by pseudoturnover. We developed a matrix decomposition approach based on yearly resolved vegetation‐plot time‐series to disentangle these effects and showed that ignoring pseudoturnover could result ...
