Trait‐based island biogeography as a tool for studying future ecological communities
Summary Understanding the future of ecological communities under global change is among the most pressing challenges in plant ecology. Islands, with their reduced species diversity and clear boundaries, have been central in developing ecological theories and have served as valuable ecological models.

A multiscale growth atlas of Arabidopsis: linking cell dynamics to organ development
Summary Plant development depends on coordinated growth at cellular and organ scales, yet comparative analyses are hindered by inconsistent reporting of growth across studies. We conducted a meta‐analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana growth dynamics, integrating data from 176 studies to create the first multiscale atlas of plant growth.

Summary For centuries, we have known that plants exhibit different phenologies and growth patterns under differing photoperiods, accounting for both seasonality and traditional latitudinal limits in their cultivation. Decades of research in plant circadian biology have deciphered the role of the clock in controlling photoperiodic flowering through what

Summary Phyllotaxis is the arrangement of lateral organs on a stem axis, which in Arabidopsis follows a spiral pattern. We previously described that loss of three PLETHORA (PLT) transcription factors shifts the phyllotactic spiral to novel metastable patterns, but the mechanism behind these shifts remained unclear.

Summary Aerosols influence forest ecosystems through changes in radiation and climate affecting plant physiology and structure. Conversely, forests also contribute to aerosol formation. They emit primary aerosol particles and volatile organic compounds, which promote secondary organic aerosol formation in the atmosphere. This forest–aerosol coupling is

Guard cell starch and malate metabolism facilitate stomatal opening in response to low CO2
Summary Guard cells adjust turgor to regulate stomatal aperture, integrating ion transport with metabolic adjustments. The effect of reduced CO2 on stomatal movement, expected under enhanced photosynthesis, remains largely unexplored. We exposed Arabidopsis thaliana plants to low CO2 before light onset and analyzed guard cell starch turnover, malate ...

Summary Plant microbiomes have the potential to mitigate the impacts of climate change, yet both the complexity of climate change and the complexity of plant–microbe interactions make applications and future predictions challenging. Here, we embrace this complexity, reviewing how different aspects of climate change influence beneficial plant–microbe ...
