Generalist‐pollinated Arabis alpina exhibits floral scent variation at multiple scales
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Plants that depend on animals for reproduction often use complex floral traits to attract pollinators. Floral scent is recognized as part of the pollinator attraction module and can be shaped by plant‐pollinator interactions. In recent decades, research has started to reveal the dynamic properties of floral scent, identifying patterns of spatial and ...

Calcium signaling in plant defense
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Calcium signaling acts as a central hub in plant immunity, translating pathogen perception into defense responses. This review highlights the channels, sensors, and signaling networks involved, and discusses how pathogens subvert calcium dynamics, as well as how this knowledge may inspire innovative strategies for engineering durable crop resistance ...

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Abstract Insect natural enemies, encompassing predators and parasitoids, serve as vital regulators of pest populations and architects of ecosystem balance. Most studies on natural enemies have focused on understanding the mechanisms by which these insects eliminate pests after an attack.
