Further fragmentation of Timonius (Rubiaceae): reinstatement of Abbottia based on morphology and molecular sequence data

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The circumscription of the Paleotropical dioecious and species‐rich genus Timonius Rumph. ex DC. nom. cons.has long been based on a restricted combination of morphological features, namely valvate corolla aestivation and drupes bearing multiple, free, single‐seeded pyrenes. Previous studies, focused on different taxonomic problems in tribe Guettardeae,

Revisiting the leaf anatomy of Hymenaea martiana: new insights from anatomical and histochemical techniques

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Hymenaea martiana, known as ‘jatobá', is used in folk medicine and has similarities with Hymenaea courbaril, making its recognition difficult. Although there are different pharmacological reports that attest to its bioactive potential, there are few studies with leaf extracts in H. martiana.

The epigenetic landscape of plant defense: Unlocking nature's toolkit for new plant protection

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, EarlyView.
This review examines how epigenetic mechanisms regulate plant immune gene activation, repression, and priming, then links these natural regulatory layers to emerging epigenetic editing, discussing their potential for precise, heritable crop protection and the challenges.

Globally widespread weeds show preadaptation to non‐analogue climates: a common garden approach

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Climatic niche shifts have been documented for plant species introduced into new regions, however the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Niche shifts into novel climates are particularly difficult to predict as previous occurrence data cannot reveal whether these novel climates are within species' fundamental niche limits.

Asymmetric transferability of trait–environment relationships between native and exotic plant species in Singaporean forests differing in land‐use history

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Functional traits allow ecologists to synthesise general rules of community assembly. In joint species distribution modelling, traits are increasingly used to explain species–environment relationships, with the intention of being able to generalise predictions to other species in other systems.
