New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 945-960, January 2026.Summary Monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIA) are a diverse class of plant natural products produced by a subset of lineages within the Asterid clade of eudicots. The diversity of MIAs provides a unique opportunity to study not only the evolution of biosynthetic genes but also their regulation.

On growth and flow: hydraulic aspects of aboveground meristems
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 722-728, January 2026.Summary Water is essential for plant growth under both normal and stress conditions. Aboveground, two key meristems control plant development: the shoot apical meristem and the vascular cambium. Here, stem cell maintenance and cell differentiation are affected by hydraulic fluctuations across seasons, days, or even hours. Water fluxes, turgor pressure,

Weak global trade‐off between frost and drought resistance in trees
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 810-828, January 2026.Summary Drought and frost stresses play important roles in determining species distributions, especially at range margins. Understanding how stress resistance traits interact to determine vulnerability to climate change is critical. We developed a large global database of published and new measurements of drought resistance (xylem embolism resistance ...

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 829-847, January 2026.Summary Canopy reflectance captures plant traits related to ecological processes, which may reflect the composition of soil microbial communities. However, the extent to which canopy reflectance can help elucidate soil microbial community composition and diversity across biomes remains unclear. Using data from 14 National Ecological Observatory Network

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 975-991, January 2026.Summary Plant‐symbiotic Trichoderma fungi attack microorganisms by secreting antibiotic membrane‐permeabilising peptaibols such as alamethicin. These peptaibols also permeabilise plant root epidermis plasma membranes (PMs), but mild pretreatment with Trichoderma cellulase activates a unique cellulase‐induced resistance to alamethicin (CIRA), via an ...

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 675-690, January 2026.Summary Photorespiration is a major source of photosynthetic inefficiency in C3 crops. In photorespiration, the oxygenation rather than carboxylation of RuBP by Rubisco triggers an energy‐expensive pathway to recycle inhibitory byproducts and recapture lost carbon, ultimately reducing yields.

Ontogenetic shifts in wood anatomy and leaf traits in tropical dry forests
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 848-859, January 2026.Summary Trees experience changes in environmental conditions and biophysical constraints as they grow that may lead to shifts in functional traits. While ontogenetic shifts in leaf traits are relatively well understood, changes in wood anatomy traits from seedlings to adults are less clear, especially in tropical dry forests where drought strongly ...
