Acquisitive root exploration strategies help maintain higher peak sap flux rates during summer drought, but more root biomass does not

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2933-2945, June 2026.
Summary Roots are responsible for soil water uptake, yet little is known about how variation in fine‐root traits relates to whole‐tree water movement, particularly during periods of drought. By combining a 3‐yr dataset monitoring sap flow rates with measures of fine‐root biomass, length, and morphology across 10 tree species, we addressed hypotheses ...

From pathogens to partners: temporal and biogeographical patterns in fungal associations of alien trees

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3381-3395, June 2026.
Summary Alien trees reshape belowground fungal communities, but the factors governing the balance between mutualists and pathogens remain unclear. We tested whether residence time, mycorrhizal type, and biogeographical origin shape this balance, and whether alien stands differ from native vegetation. We sampled soils beneath 73 alien tree species in 48

Tree‐ring structure determines the temporal coordination between xylem growth and the gain in hydraulic conductivity in the outermost ring

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3732-3746, June 2026.
Summary The study of seasonal xylem hydraulics has predominantly focused on embolism‐induced losses, whereas growth‐driven increases in hydraulic capacity have received little attention. We assessed the intra‐annual dynamics of xylem formation and gain of conductivity in the current‐year ring of three species with contrasting tree‐ring structure ...

PWO proteins are associated with PRC2 since their emergence in vascular plants

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 4002-4021, June 2026.
Summary The Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), a conserved histone methyltransferase complex, plays a central role in transcriptional silencing across eukaryotes. Here, we investigate the evolution of PWWP‐DOMAIN INTERACTORS OF POLYCOMBS (PWOs), which interact with PRC2, and examine the conservation of the PWOs‐PRC2 interaction across plant ...

Loss of qE Does Not Necessarily Lead to Photoinhibition: Sustained Non‐Photochemical Quenching in the Absence of PsbS and Zeaxanthin

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 3405-3425, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Photosynthetic light‐harvesting complexes mediate light absorption and energy dissipation. By modulating the photosystems' absorption cross‐section, they affect both photosynthetic activity and non‐photochemical quenching (NPQ). These processes are often studied by spectrally integrated chlorophyll fluorescence, masking their associated ...

Transcription of photosynthetic genes in the plant chloroplast: lessons from bacteria

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 5, June 2026.
SUMMARY The RNA polymerase that transcribes photosynthetic genes in the plant chloroplast is the largest known transcription enzyme across all domains of life, comprising 21 subunits of bacterial and eukaryotic origin. Recent structural analyses revealed that the core polymerase, inherited from the cyanobacterial ancestor of the chloroplast, is encased
