Summary The leaf economics spectrum (LES) describes a suite of functional traits that consistently covary at large spatial and taxonomic scales. Despite its importance at these larger scales, few studies have examined the major drivers of intraspecific variation in the LES – phenotypic plasticity and standing genetic variation.

Summary Phasing biological and physiological processes to periodic light–dark cycles is crucial for the life of most organisms. Marine diatoms, as many phytoplanktonic species, exhibit biological rhythms, yet their molecular timekeepers remain largely uncharacterized.

How eriophyid mites shape metal metabolism in leaf galls on Tilia cordata
Summary Metal metabolism in plant–galler interactions is largely unknown. We hypothesise that the mites manipulate metal distribution by sequestration of excessive levels and differential regulation of metalloproteins to support the main functions of gall‐nutrition, protection and microenvironment.

Summary Photorespiration is a mandatory metabolic repair shunt of carbon fixation by the Calvin–Benson cycle in oxygenic phototrophs. Its extent depends mainly on the CO2 : O2 ratio in chloroplasts, which is regulated via stomatal movements. Despite a comprehensive understanding of the role of photorespiration in mesophyll cells, its role in guard ...

Expression of exochitinase and endochitinase in lettuce highlights the potential of chloroplast genetic engineering for sustainable agriculture and biomedical applications, offering a safer alternative to chemical fertilizers and fungicides. Summary Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is a popular leafy vegetable with global production of ~28 million Mt ...

Summary Genic‐cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) due to interactions between nuclear and cytoplasmic genomes is a well‐known phenomenon in some Solanum spp. hybrids, but genes involved are not known. In this study, the chondriomes of two isonuclear male‐fertile and sterile somatic hybrids (SH9A and SH9B, respectively) between the common potato (S ...

Summary Winter dormancy and bud break are crucial to the viability, adaptability and yield of fruit trees, but not all metabolic activities or regulatory factors involved in maintaining and breaking dormancy are known. Here, winter buds, spanning from natural dormancy to bud break, were collected from ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ grapevines maintained outdoors
