Linking drought strategy to climate‐of‐origin in a widespread C4 grass: hydraulic traits, xylem anatomy and stomatal behaviour in Themeda triandra

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Climate‐of‐origin of Themeda triandra populations used in this study. Summary Hydraulic, stomatal, and anatomical traits strongly influence plant performance under drought, but the extent to which these trait‐types are coordinated and relate to climate‐of‐origin remains vastly underexplored in herbaceous species relative to woody plants.

Contrasting Associations of Urbanization and Lateral Hydrological Gradients With Functional Structure and Rarity of Spontaneous Plants in River Corridors: Evidence From Changde, China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study examined how urbanization and lateral hydrological gradients shape the functional structure and functional rarity of spontaneous plants in urban river corridors in Changde, China. Using field surveys, functional trait analysis, and structural equation modeling, we found that urbanization mainly affected communities through indirect pathways,

Field generation of triparental sugar beet plants through polyspermy‐induced three‐parent breeding

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Polyspermy, the fertilization of an egg by two sperm cells, can generate viable triparental offspring in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. To explore the potential for three‐parent breeding in a crop species, male‐sterile sugar beet plants were grown alongside genetically distinct pollen donors carrying dominant, traceable selection markers ...

Evidence of parental care as a newly identified reproductive isolating barrier. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
Behavioural variation can contribute to reproductive isolation and can be an important driver of speciation. Here, we show that a previously undescribed mechanism, parental care, can function as a postzygotic reproductive isolating barrier when dysregulated in hybrids.

Light‐induced phyB‐NPR1 interaction activates systemic acquired resistance

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Model showing phyB‐mediated fine‐tuning of defence responses via NPR1. Summary Light perception by phytochromes controls different aspects of plant–environment interactions including plant immunity; however, the underpinning molecular mechanisms are less well‐understood.

The homologous GRAS transcription factors RAM1 and RAD1 coordinate shared and separate gene networks to regulate arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Mutations in RAM1 and RAD1 have different effects on arbuscule development in Lotus japonicus. Summary Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), a symbiosis between plants and Glomeromycotan fungi is based on the exchange of nutrients, which majorly occurs between fungal tree‐shaped arbuscules and root cortex cells.

An AGC kinase cascade regulates ROP signaling for the correct timing of pollen germination

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Model for PDK1‐AGC1.5/7 kinase cascade function in controlling pollen germination. Summary In flowering plants, the timing of pollen germination is crucial for successful fertilization and an important trait for seed and fruit crops. Environmental factors tightly regulate pollen germination, with germination‐suppressing conditions on the pollen ...

A beneficial root endophyte buffers natural variation in pathogen susceptibility across Arabidopsis accessions

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Beneficial symbionts act as ecological stabilizers that mitigate differential pathogen susceptibility within natural plant populations. Summary Host genetic diversity shapes pathogen susceptibility within plant populations, raising the question of whether beneficial root microbes can buffer these differences.

Pollination ecotypes and the origin of plant species

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Ecological niche shifts are a key driver of phenotypic divergence and contribute to isolating barriers among lineages. For many groups of organisms, the history of these shifts and associated trait–environment correlations are well-documented at the macroevolutionary level.
