The complex interaction between mammalian herbivores, climate, soil and fire has shaped the evolution and distribution of plant spinescence across biogeographical realms

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3640-3655, September 2026.
Evolution of spinescence in mimosoid legumes. Summary The evolutionary arms race between plants and herbivores led to numerous plant adaptations, including spinescence. However, the balance between herbivory and abiotic conditions in the evolution of spinescence remains unclear. We integrated phylogenetic, geographic, and trait data for 2686 species of

Opening the black box: in situ imaging of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal structures in soil using synchrotron‐based micro‐CT

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3687-3702, September 2026.
Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) contribute to plant nutrient and water uptake via their extraradical hyphal networks. However, in situ methodologies to quantify architectural and morphological traits of these networks in soil are largely lacking, limiting our understanding of AMF‐mediated resource transport.

Maximum water stress is decoupled from climate, traits, and growth in a xeric oak

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2392-2406, September 2026.
We sampled sites across the geographic distribution of blue oak (Quercus douglasii) in California, USA, which spans a large range of mean annual precipitation. Summary Our ability to explain and predict the spatial patterns of forest mortality remains limited.

Global population structures and demographic history of Suillus luteus, a pine co‐introduced ectomycorrhizal fungus associated with exotic forestry and invasion

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2964-2979, September 2026.
Global phylogenomic tree and phylogenetic network of Suillus luteus and its closely related species. Summary Human colonization since the 19th century has resulted in the global spread of pines beyond their original northern boreal distribution. Although the introduction history of pines is documented through historical records, little is known about ...

From knowledge graph to topological data analysis: a novel framework to analyze gene regulatory networks for tomato–multi‐pathogen interactions

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 3039-3055, September 2026.
GENIAL framework. Summary of the main steps of the framework to infer and analyze GRN. Summary Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), despite being the most important vegetable crop world‐wide, remains vulnerable to over 200 diseases caused by different pests.

RGF signaling bridges root development and nonlethal thermal stress adaptation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2656-2671, September 2026.
Nonlethal high temperature inhibits root growth. Summary Roots adapt to growth‐restricting but nonlethal high temperatures. Although lethal heat shock and moderately elevated temperatures have been extensively studied, the effects of nonlethal thermal stress on root development remain unclear.

Which, when, and where traits matter: functional trait‐mediated species associations shift with microenvironmental and climatic variation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2468-2481, September 2026.
Community‐level fitted relationship between spatial association Lij and trait dissimilarity (tDij) at the fine spatial scale (r = 40 mm; where r represents the radius around individuals of the focal species). Summary Predicting coexistence in species‐rich plant communities requires understanding the role of functional traits in species interactions and

Photosynthetic glyceraldehyde 3‐phosphate dehydrogenase B is present in the last common ancestor of Viridiplantae predating the Streptophyta–Chlorophyta split

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3072-3079, September 2026.
Predicted evolutionary history of GAPA (blue squares), CP12 (red circles), and GAPB (represented as a fusion of a blue square and half red circle) across the Viridiplantae.

A drought stress‐induced MYB transcription factor regulates pavement cell shape in leaves of European aspen (Populus tremula)

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2688-2705, September 2026.
MYB305a promoter expression increases in pavement cells as they grow and acquire their complex shape. Summary Leaf pavement cells of many plant species develop jigsaw puzzle‐like shapes in which neighboring cells interdigitate, providing an ideal model for the study of cell shape regulation.

Systemic acquired resistance: an emerging role for jasmonates in local signal biogenesis, translocation and distal signal decoding

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3142-3158, September 2026.
Jasmonate signalling underpins establishment of plant systemic acquired resistance (SAR). Activation of the hypersensitive response (HR) not only contains the pathogen but establishes broad spectrum resistance in unchallenged leaves. The strong burst of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species initiating the HR results in lipid peroxidation (illustrated by ...
