What is a tree in the mediterranean basin hotspot? A critical analysis [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Tree species represent 20% of the vascular plant species worldwide and they play a crucial role in the global functioning of the biosphere. The Mediterranean Basin is one of the 36 world biodiversity hotspots, and it is estimated that forests

Seeing herbaria in a new light: leaf reflectance spectroscopy unlocks trait and classification modeling in plant biodiversity collections

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Reflectance spectroscopy is a rapid method for estimating traits and discriminating species. Spectral libraries from herbarium specimens represent an untapped resource for generating broad phenomic datasets across space, time, and taxa. We conducted a proof‐of‐concept study using trait data and spectra from herbarium specimens up to 179 yr old,

Chromosome‐Level Genome and Organ‐Specific Transcriptome of Alnus glutinosa Uncover Lineage‐Specific Innovations in Root Nodule Symbiosis

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alnus glutinosa is one of only three lineages within the order Fagales capable of establishing root nodule symbiosis (RNS). Although a fragmented genome assembly of A. glutinosa was previously available, its limited quality, combined with the lack of comprehensive transcriptomic resources, has constrained in‐depth comparative and functional ...

Biochemical and systematic study of the genus Betula L.

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
The division of the genus Betula L. accomplished on the basis of the flavonoid composition characteristic for the particular species; the proposed systematic classification also takes the chromosome number and geographical distribution into account.

Draft Genome Sequence of Frankia Strain G2, a Nitrogen-Fixing Actinobacterium Isolated from Casuarina equisetifolia and Able To Nodulate Actinorhizal Plants of the Order Rhamnales [PDF]

, 2016
Frankia sp. strain G2 was originally isolated from Casuarina equisetifolia and is characterized by its ability to nodulate actinorhizal plants of the Rhamnales order, but not its original host.

Turgor loss point explains climate‐driven growth reductions in trees in Central Europe

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Leaf turgor loss point of native tree species shows a high predictive power over the observed growth anomalies in Central Europe during the extensive drought period between 2018 and 2020. Abstract As climate change thrives, and the frequency of intense droughts is affecting many forested regions, a mechanistic understanding of the factors conferring ...

Wing and Pappus Appendages Decrease Seed Terminal Velocity: A Meta‐Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This meta‐analysis integrated terminal velocity records for 1479 species from various sources and explored descriptive patterns by taxonomic group, seed dispersal vector, and seed appendage type. This study revealed that wing and pappus appendage decrease seed terminal velocity with a robust analysis using regression models to predict terminal velocity.

Genome characteristics of facultatively symbiotic Frankia sp. strains reflect host range and host plant biogeography [PDF]

, 2007
Soil bacteria that also form mutualistic symbioses in plants encounter two major levels of selection. One occurs during adaptation to and survival in soil, and the other occurs in concert with host plant speciation and adaptation. Actinobacteria from the
