Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2778-2813, June 2026.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Phenylalanine 15N enrichment likely indicates fungal‐derived organic nutrient acquisition in mycoheterotrophic plants across fungal guilds

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3990-4001, June 2026.
Summary Beyond fully mycoheterotrophic plants, many green plants may also obtain carbon from fungal partners. However, bulk stable isotope analyses often lack sufficient resolution in arbuscular mycorrhizal and rhizoctonia‐associated orchid systems, limiting inference of fungal‐derived organic nutrient acquisition.

Air Permeability Of Sugi (Cryptomeria Japonica) Wood In The Three Directions

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2015
To investigate the air permeability of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) and the effect of grain directions on it, the air permeabilities of air-dried sugi sapwood and heartwood were determined along the three material directions of wood.

Mycorrhizal specificity of fully mycoheterotrophic Yoania in Taiwan and China and novel natural abundance stable isotope patterns

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 1159-1168, June 2026.
Three species of the mycoheterotrophic orchid genus Yoania found in Taiwan and China are associated with a single taxonomic unit of white‐rot fungus from the genus Physisporinus and exhibit a stable isotope pattern distinct from other fully mycoheterotrophic (FMH) orchids associated with wood‐decaying fungi.

A Clinical Study of Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) Pollen-Induced Asthma

Allergology International, 2008
Background: Grass and birch pollens are known to induce asthma. However there are few reports about other pollen-induced asthma. Japanese cedar is the most common allergen in rhinitis in Japan but is controversial on whether it can provoke asthma ...

Safety evaluation of the food enzyme containing endo‐polygalacturonase and pectinesterase activities from the non‐genetically modified Aspergillus luchuensis strain GSP‐4‐404

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The food enzyme containing endo‐polygalacturonase (1,4‐α‐d‐galacturonan glycanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.15) and pectinesterase (pectin pectylhydrolase; EC 3.1.1.11) activities is produced with the non‐genetically modified Aspergillus luchuensis strain GSP‐4‐404 by Shin Nihon Chemical Co., Ltd.
