New Phytologist, EarlyView.Schematic representation of the causal sequence through which rapid water loss imposes diffusive and nondiffusive restrictions on carbon assimilation. Summary Drought is an abnormally prolonged water deficit posing major challenges to plants. Stomatal closure has long been considered the primary factor limiting photosynthesis during the early stages of

Barley HvBODYGUARD1 controls cuticular specialisations regulated by SHINE transcription factors
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Cuticle defects result from defective HvBDG1 alleles. Summary Land plants secrete a protective outer cuticular layer with diverse functions. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) develops two cuticular specialisations: the β‐diketone rich wax bloom on vegetative tissues and an adherent grain surface which sticks to the hulls, leading to barley's distinctive ...
