Response of Fecal Bacteria and Fungi to Tannin‐Rich Diets in Sika Deer (Cervus nippon): Evidence from Both Feeding Experiments and Field Investigations

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Feeding with tannin‐rich diets altered the fecal microbial composition and increased the relative abundance of tannin‐degrading microbes. We hypothesize that fecal bacteria and fungi may play important roles in helping herbivores adapt to tannin‐rich diets but respond to different tannin concentrations varies.

From LiDAR point clouds to 3D tree morphometrics: New approach to quantitatively evaluate tree shapes

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Tree crowns are complex, three‐dimensional structures whose morphology varies among species, individuals and environments. Although light detection and ranging (LiDAR) provides high‐resolution, single‐tree point clouds that advance species discrimination and the assessment of intraspecific variation in situ, crown shape is still commonly ...

C‐type cyclin CycC1;1 delays leaf senescence by interacting with and inhibiting MYC2 in Arabidopsis

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The C‐type cyclin CycC1;1 interacts with MYC2 and MED25 to block their association and RNA polymerase II recruitment, thereby repressing senescence‐associated gene expression and delaying leaf senescence in Arabidopsis. Unlike jasmonic acid‐inducible JAZ repressors, CycC1;1 operates independently of jasmonic acid signaling, representing an ...

Ecological and genomic variation in ectomycorrhizal fungal exploration types

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) produce mycelia with variable extension and complexity, which can be classified according to soil ‘exploration types’ (ETs). ETs have received attention as one of the few mycorrhizal trait frameworks, but without an empirical classification of ET functional diversity and environmental preferences, understanding and ...

Ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) as predators of conifer seeds

open access: yesFolia Oecologica, 2019
Many species of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) are important predators of seeds. While the consumption of herb seeds has been intensively studied, little attention has been paid to the consumption of seeds of gymnosperm plants.

A novel method based on high‐resolution imaging spectroscopy to predict fine‐root traits and the economics space of fresh tree roots

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Maps of the estimated root nitrogen concentration in the < 0.5‐mm‐diameter classes of 20 woody species based on the imaging spectroscopy using the shortwave infrared spectral region. Summary Tree fine‐root morphological, anatomical, and chemical traits are important to reflect belowground resource acquisition strategies to support tree growth, but ...

Radial variation of tracheid features, specic gravity and growth rings in Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze planted in Cunha-SP. Variação radial das características das traqueídes, densidade aparente e anéis de crescimento em Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze plantadas em Cunha-SP. [PDF]

open access: yesRevista do Instituto Florestal, 2015
We investigated wood features along growth rings of Araucaria angustifolia trees planted between November and December of 1980 in Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar in Cunha, State of São Paulo, Brazil.

Evolution‐Inspired Engineering of Diterpene Biosynthesis via Chloroplast Genome Modification

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terpenes constitute the largest and most structurally diverse class of plant secondary metabolites, with critical roles in plant‐environment interactions and broad industrial applications. Although nuclear genome engineering of terpene pathways has been extensively explored, chloroplast genome engineering remains largely undeveloped, with most
