Photosynthesis, growth, and survival in seedlings of four tropical fruit-tree species under intense radiation [PDF]
In the Amazon region, agroforestry systems (AFSs) are recommended as a sustainable production alternative for local communities. A common component in Amazonian AFSs are tropical fruit trees, which can form the canopy or grow in the understory.

Natural recovery of genetic diversity by gene flow in reforested areas of the endemic Canary Island pine, Pinus canariensis [PDF]
The endemic pine, Pinus canariensis, forms one of the main forest ecosystems in the Canary Islands. In this archipelago, pine forest is a mosaic of natural stands (remnants of past forest overexploitation) and artificial stands planted from the 1940's. The genetic makeup of the artificially regenerated forest is of some concern. The use of reproductive

Metabolic Reprogramming in Chloroplasts under Heat Stress in Plants
Increases in ambient temperatures have been a severe threat to crop production in many countries around the world under climate change. Chloroplasts serve as metabolic centers and play a key role in physiological adaptive processes to heat stress.

SHORT-TERM CHILLING OF WHEAT SEEDLINGS OR ROOTS AFFECTS THE ULTRASTRUCTURE OF MESOPHYLL CELLS
The effects of short-term chilling (2°C, 10 min) of seedlings or roots of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) on the cold tolerance and ultrastructure of mesophyll cells were studied under controlled conditions.

Chloroplast microsatellites reveal colonization and metapopulation dynamics in the Canary Island pine [PDF]
Chloroplast microsatellites are becoming increasingly popular markers for population genetic studies in plants, but there has been little focus on their potential for demographic inference. In this work the utility of chloroplast microsatellites for the study of population expansions was explored.

Chloroplasts are important for photosynthesis and for plant immunity against microbial pathogens. Here we identify a haustorium-specific protein (Pst_12806) from the wheat stripe rust fungus, Puccinia striiformis f. sp.
