Plant water resource partitioning and isotopic fractionation during transpiration in a seasonally dry tropical climate [PDF]
, 2017 Lake Chala (3 degrees 19' S, 37 degrees 42' E) is a steep-sided crater lake situated in equatorial East Africa, a tropical semiarid area with a bimodal rainfall pattern. Plants in this region are exposed to a prolonged dry season, and we investigated if (

Multiple plant surface signals are sensed by different mechanisms in the rice blast fungus for appressorium formation. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2011 Surface recognition and penetration are among the most critical plant infection processes in foliar pathogens. In Magnaporthe oryzae, the Pmk1 MAP kinase regulates appressorium formation and penetration.

Late Quaternary climate and environmental reconstruction based on leaf wax analyses in the loess sequence of Möhlin, Switzerland [PDF]
Eiszeitalter und Gegenwart, 2017 We present the results of leaf wax analyses (long-chain n-alkanes) from the 6.8 m deep loess sequence of Möhlin, Switzerland, spanning the last ∼ 70 kyr. Leaf waxes are well preserved and occur in sufficient amounts only down to 0.4 m and below 1.8

Environment-Driven Adaptations of Leaf Cuticular Waxes Are Inheritable for Medicago ruthenica
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Cuticular waxes covering the plant surface play pivotal roles in helping plants adapt to changing environments. However, it is still not clear whether the responses of plant cuticular waxes to their growing environments are inheritable.
