Molecular Detection of Exserohilum turcicum in Maize Seeds: Validation of Specific Primers and Development of PCR/qPCR Protocols

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Northern corn leaf blight, one of the most devastating diseases of maize (Zea mays), is caused by Exserohilum turcicum. This pathogen is widely distributed and can be found in maize fields across most regions of the world. The association of pathogens with seeds is considered a serious threat to the establishment of a field since seeds are ...

Neighbourly Dispute at the Edge of Life: Species Interactions Among Antarctic Mosses

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Vegetation growth in the harsh Antarctic environment is often assumed to be driven solely by species adaptations to abiotic conditions. However, in this first experimental study of species interactions between Antarctic mosses, we show that competitive interactions do occur under simulated Antarctic conditions, suggesting that, as well as abiotic ...

Functional Traits Mediate Physico‐Chemical Niche Differentiation of Epiphytic Lichens and Bryophytes in Temperate Forests

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Host tree identity drives bark physico‐chemical filters (e.g., pH, metals) that shape epiphytic communities. We show that species‐specific functional traits, such as lichen substances and bryophyte growth forms, mediate these responses. Lichen metal homeostasis and bryophyte growth habit create distinct species thresholds and community change points ...

Divergent Transcriptional Architectures Beyond Core CAM Genes in Facultative and Constitutive CAM Species in Tillandsia L.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 6, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a water‐efficient photosynthetic strategy involving a coordinated suite of complex traits including metabolic, anatomical and regulatory aspects that shift across the diel cycle. While CAM has evolved repeatedly in land plants, the evolutionary routes enabling this convergence remain elusive.

Seagrasses are most vulnerable to marine heatwaves in tropical zones: local‐scale and broad climatic zone variation in thermal tolerances

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2835-2851, March 2026.
Summary Under a changing climate, it is imperative that we understand how species may respond to temperature impacts, which can differ among populations of the same species due to local drivers. Thermal tolerance data, which can be used to assess an organism's upper thermal limits, is valuable to identify species and/or populations' susceptibility to ...

Stronger expression of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) requires effective cuticular transpiration barriers but not necessarily strong succulence

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2760-2775, March 2026.
Summary Discovering functional and evolutionary interdependencies of hydraulic traits and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is crucial to understand CAM phenotype diversity and convergence. In complex traits such as CAM, the co‐option of associated traits strongly impacts the evolutionary outcome.
