Rhododendron diversity patterns provide new insights for conserving China's montane flora

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Integrating distribution, phylogenetic, and functional trait data for 603 Rhododendron species in China identified significant conservation hotspots of multidimensional diversity, particularly in the Hengduan Mountains. Climate seasonality and topographic heterogeneity jointly influenced these patterns; however, notable conservation gaps remained ...

Long‐term surveillance reveals hybridization by nuclear reassortment and intercontinental spread as major evolutionary drivers in wheat yellow rust

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Documented incursions of Puccinia striiformis 2009–2023 based on sequential resampling of MLGs/pathogen races on different continents. Summary Evolutionary forces affecting crop pathogens, including hybridization and long‐distance dispersal (LDD), may have strong implications for food security and sustainable plant disease control at global scales ...
