Integration of light quality signals regulates ABA abundance and stomatal movements during seedling establishment

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Obtaining sufficient light for photosynthesis and avoiding desiccation are two key challenges faced by seedlings during early establishment. Perception of light quality via specialised photoreceptors signals the availability of sunlight for photosynthesis.

Legacies of consecutive summer droughts on soil‐borne plant parasitic protists (Oomycota: Stramenopila and Phytomyxea: Rhizaria) and protistan consumers (Cercozoa: Rhizaria) along an experimental plant diversity gradient

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Increasing frequencies of severe summer droughts and plant diversity loss disrupt ecosystem functioning and stability of European grasslands. Understanding how these factors interact with pathogens is crucial. We investigated the effects of plant diversity and repeated summer drought on soil‐borne parasites within a grassland biodiversity ...

The frequency and importance of polyploidy in tropical rainforest tree radiations

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The presence of two or more copies of the genome in an organism, termed ‘polyploidy’, is a crucial force in plant evolution, generating genetic, phenotypic and ecological diversity. The Amazonian tree flora is the most species‐rich on Earth and largely arose as a result of rapid evolutionary radiations. While polyploidy is an important catalyst

Contemporary hybridization among Arabis floodplain species creates opportunities for adaptation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Hybridization between closely related species is increasingly recognized as a major source of biodiversity. Yet, whether it can create advantageous trait combinations while purging harmful alleles remains unknown. To address this question, we studied Arabis nemorensis and Arabis sagittata, two endangered species that currently hybridize in a ...

Floral stage optimization and immune evasion enhance Agrobacterium‐mediated genome editing in Arabidopsis

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Agrobacterium‐mediated transformation by floral inoculation (AMT‐FI) enables genetic engineering without tissue culture. It is widely used in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, yet its efficiency and broader applicability remain limited. Here, we used a dual‐reporter system (RUBY and hygromycin resistance) to identify key floral stages and ...

Enhancing Nutritional and Functional Properties of Broccoli Leaves Through Selenium Biofortification: Potential for Sustainable Agriculture and Bioactive Compound Valorization

open access: yesAgronomy
Selenium (Se) biofortification is a promising agronomic strategy to enhance the dietary intake of this essential micronutrient while simultaneously adding value to agricultural by-products like Brassica oleracea L. var. italica leaves.

The Kateretidae and Nitidulidae of the Maltese Archipelago (Coleoptera) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In the present work, a total of 3 Kateretidae and 26 Nitidulidae are recorded from the Maltese Islands. Of these, 14 Nitidulidae (Epuraea luteola, Epuraea ocularis, Carpophilus bifenestratus, Carpophilus marginellus, Carpophilus quadrisignatus ...

A Fungal Cysteine‐Rich Protein SsSCP Activates Immune Responses and Confers Broad‐Spectrum Disease Resistance in Tomato

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant immune systems recognise pathogen‐derived molecular patterns to activate defence responses, yet the mechanisms underlying fungal pattern recognition in crops remain largely unclear. Here, we characterise the cysteine‐rich secretory protein SsSCP from the broad‐host‐range fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum as a potent elicitor of ...
