Palms are unique: clade‐level pattern of the leaf-height-seed strategy scheme
IntroductionThe leaf-height-seed (LHS) plant ecology strategy scheme posits that functional traits such as leaf size, stem height and seed mass play a key role in life history of plants.

Gymnosperms : History of Life: Plants: Gymnosperms
Gymnosperms represent a broad range of seed-bearing plants that differ from flowering plants in not having seeds enclosed within carpels. Gymnosperms are probably monophyletic, having arisen among ‘progymnosperm’ stock in the Devonian. Key adaptations involving retention of the megagametophyte within a protective coating to form a seed on the parent ...

Leaf Structure and Hormonal Balance Modulate Host‐Specificity and Pathogenicity of Botrytis cinerea
ABSTRACT Botrytis cinerea, a highly successful necrotrophic fungal plant pathogen, demonstrates a remarkably broad host range, yet the precise factors governing its host specificity and its ability to coexist non‐pathogenically with plants remain unclear. This study systematically assessed host preference in a series of B. cinerea agricultural isolates,

Extreme Polyploidy Reveals Functional Trade‐Offs in Plant Drought Responses
ABSTRACT Polyploidy shapes plant physiology and anatomy, yet the extent to which different ploidy levels influence drought responses remains unclear. Here, we investigated how ploidy affects cell‐level coordination and functional traits associated with water transport and retention.

Ozone Susceptibility of Tropical Tree Species
ABSTRACT Tropical forests account for approximately 60% of global terrestrial photosynthesis, yet their function into the future may be compromised by rising ground‐level ozone (O3) pollution. Although O3 is known to impair plant productivity, the physiological mechanisms underlying interspecific variation in O3 susceptibility—especially among tropical

Diel net CO2 exchange of carnivorous Pinguicula is consistent with low‐level CAM photosynthesis
In carnivorous butterworts (Pinguicula), CO2 uptake occurs primarily in the light via C3 photosynthesis, yet low‐level CAM photosynthesis, including net CO2 dark fixation, significantly improves the carbon balance of plants, especially under water‐deficit conditions.

Conifers, Ginkgo, cycads and gnetophytes comprise the four groups of extant gymnosperms holding a unique position of sharing common ancestry with the angiosperms. Comparative studies of gymnosperms and angiosperms are the key to a better understanding of

Evidence for a trade‐off between growth rate and xylem embolism resistance in 22 Eucalyptus species
Examples of cross‐sectional images of branchlets at 4× and 40×. Summary Within the growth–survival trade‐off framework, embolism resistance is considered a contributor to survival, yet whether greater embolism resistance inherently limits growth remains unclear.

A tomato MIK2‐clade receptor is involved in the perception of a Fusarium‐derived elicitor
Fusarium elicitor responsivness and MIK2‐clade proteins are conserved across plant families. Summary Plants continuously monitor their environment to adapt to threats affecting health and fitness. Cell‐surface receptors detect conserved microbe‐associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) or endogenous immunogenic signals to activate signaling pathways that ...
