Comparative genomics of dark septate endophytes: shedding light on the enigmatic lifestyle and biology of DSEs

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Ancestral lifestyle reconstruction across the phylogeny of the 107 analysed fungal genomes. Summary Dark septate endophytes (DSE) are widespread root‐colonising fungi with poorly understood lifestyle and ecological functions. We investigated their genomic traits, sexual reproduction signatures, carbohydrate‐active enzyme (CAZyme) and secondary ...

Disentangling atmospheric and soil drought: a new stand‐level manipulation approach for mature forests

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Design of the VPDrought experiment in a Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) forest at the Pfynwald research platform. Summary Atmospheric and soil drought are major, yet typically confounded, drivers of tree stress. Rising vapor pressure deficit (VPD) may impair forest function independently of soil moisture decline, yet stand‐scale experimental separation ...

Elevated CO2 drives nonlinear trait responses and reshapes growth‐virulence trade‐offs in a plant pathogen

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Temporal variation in carbon dioxide concentration within the crop canopy and in the atmosphere. Summary Atmospheric CO2 is rising at unprecedented rates. While its physiological effects on plants are well‐documented, the direct evolutionary impact on plant pathogens remains unknown. We investigated how CO2 interacts with other abiotic factors to shape

Leaf nutrient resorption across contrasting soil parent materials: it is not just about efficiency

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Box plots showing nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations in senesced leaves across contrasting parent materials for four site groups. Summary In theory, nutrient resorption from leaves should be higher in sites with lower soil nutrients, increasing the retention and reuse of nutrients that are limited in supply.

Plant‐Based Production of Human Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II Molecules

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) protein triggers adaptive immune responses by presenting antigens on antigen‐presenting cells (APCs) to be recognised by CD4+ T cells. Recombinant MHC II proteins are effective for the analysis of peptide‐binding interaction, detection of antigen‐specific T‐cells and clinical testing for donor‐
