Inhibition of rhizobial cheaters by the host Medicago truncatula involves repression of symbiotic functions and induction of defense

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 1458-1474, November 2025.
Summary In symbiotic plant–microbe interactions, the host invests considerable amounts of resources in the microbial partner. If the microbe does not reciprocate with a comparable symbiotic benefit, it is regarded as a cheater. The host responds to cheaters with negative feedback mechanisms (sanctions) to prevent fitness deficits resulting from being ...

Characterization and application of highly effective rhizobia isolated from Medicago ruthenica in alpine grassland

Grassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 235-248, September 2025.
The biomass accumulation of M. ruthenica was significantly improved by enhancing its nitrogen fixation ability. Through response surface methodology, the optimal culture and nutritional conditions were successfully determined. Furthermore, field experiments demonstrated promising application effects in alpine grasslands, highlighting its potential for ...

A Group 6 LEA Protein Plays Key Roles in Tolerance to Water Deficit, and in Maintaining the Glassy State and Longevity of Seeds

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 9, Page 6874-6896, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Plants have a wide range of adaptive and protective mechanisms to cope with dehydration. Central in these processes are the Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins, whose levels notably increase in response to dehydration during seed development and vegetative tissues.

Progestogens and androgens influence root morphology of angiosperms in a brassinosteroid‐independent manner

The Plant Journal, Volume 123, Issue 5, September 2025.
Significance Statement Plants produce progesterone and androgens, which alter root morphology in A. thaliana and 60% of tested angiosperms. Brassinosteroids seem uninvolved. Understanding the mechanism is like navigating an unknown city—exemplarily Dittelbrunn (a small village in Bavaria)—where the expected shortcut (interaction with brassinosteroids ...

Osmophores and floral fragrance in Anacardium humile and Mangifera indica (Anacardiaceae): an overlooked secretory structure in Sapindales [PDF]

, 2018
Background and aims: Flowers of Anacardiaceae and other Sapindales typically produce nectar, but scent, often associated with a reward for pollinators, has surprisingly been mentioned only rarely for members of the family and order.

The developmental basis of floral nectary diversity and evolution

New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 6, Page 2462-2477, June 2025.
Summary Nectar is a central bridge between angiosperms and animal mutualists. It is produced by specialized structures termed nectaries, which can be found on different plant organs. Consumption of floral nectar by pollinators and the subsequent transfer of pollen contribute to the reproductive success of both angiosperms and their pollinators.
