The Origin and Diversification of Turmerics (Curcuma L.: Zingiberaceae) in Paleotropical Biodiversity Hotspots: The Role of Ancient Hybridisation and Historical Climate Change

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms driving biodiversity in the Indo‐Malayan hotspots, with a particular focus on the roles of ancient hybridisation and historical climate in shaping species diversity. Location The Indo‐Malayan realm, particularly the Western Ghats‐Sri Lanka and Indo‐Burma biodiversity hotspots.

The receptor‐like pseudokinase LENG stimulates chilling tolerance in rice by inhibiting the activity of the OsCRPK1‐OsGF14d module

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1333-1348, May 2026.
The rice receptor‐like pseudokinase LENG enhances chilling tolerance by binding to and suppressing the kinase activity of OsCRPK1, thereby preventing OsCRPK1‐mediated phosphorylation of the cold‐tolerance positive regulator OsGF14d. ABSTRACT Cold damage during the seedling and reproductive stages has a pronounced impact on rice development and yield ...

Signatures of Radiation‐Induced Stress and Putative Selection on Immune Targets in Chornobyl Wolves

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Investigating the physiological and evolutionary consequences of contaminant exposure in wild populations is critical for understanding long‐term ecological impacts of anthropogenic change. However, how and why species persist, even thrive, in highly contaminated regions in the absence of humans remains a topic of much debate.

Invasive plants optimize leaf nitrogen allocation in photosynthesis

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 3, Page 1522-1534, May 2026.
Summary Invasive plants often outcompete co‐occurring native species by expressing acquisitive functional traits that promote high photosynthetic capacity. However, it remains unclear whether these traits are newly evolved in the introduced (‘away’) range or if invaders arrived preadapted with superior traits from their native (‘home’) range.

Island influences on plant functional traits and trait–trait associations across species‐ and community‐scales

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2176-2189, May 2026.
Summary The island rule predicts gigantism or dwarfism in body size of island species relative to their mainland counterparts. However, whether other functional traits shift and whether trait–trait associations on islands differ between species and community levels remains unclear. We measured 13 carbon‐ and water‐related functional traits in 37 shared

Mitochondrial β‐carbonic anhydrase is a conserved metabolic rheostat for branched‐chain amino acid catabolism and metabolic flexibility

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2415-2427, May 2026.
Summary Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are ubiquitous metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of CO2, enabling fundamental processes in organisms across all domains of life. Among all CAs, the role of mitochondrial βCA remains poorly understood. Here, we identify a mitochondrial βCA, βCA6, as a key regulator of branched‐chain amino acid (BCAA)
