Phenological Shifts in Wood Formation Tracked by Frost Rings Across Two Centuries
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.Rapid warming is reshaping plant phenology across ecosystems. We present an indirect retrospective approach to infer cambial phenology by analysing the timing and occurrence of frost rings in three Alpine conifers. We found that the cold spells responsible for frost ring formation typically involve temperature dropping below freezing for an average of ...

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 1644-1658, February 2026.Summary Calcium (Ca2+) signaling is integral to nearly all aspects of plant biology, including development and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. It operates through two main layers: the generation of Ca2+ signals and their decoding by Ca2+‐binding proteins, which act early in diverse signaling pathways. The system exhibits remarkable robustness

Root cell wall plasticity in iron homeostasis: an overlooked frontier in plant nutrition
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 1699-1708, February 2026.Summary Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development, yet its availability in soils is often limited or excessive, leading to widespread Fe deficiency or toxicity that constrains crop productivity. While Fe uptake, transport, and signaling pathways have been well characterized, the role of the root cell wall as a dynamic ...

Specific functions of individual class III peroxidase genes [PDF]
, 2017 In higher plants, class III peroxidases exist as large multigene families (e.g. 73 genes in Arabidopsis thaliana). The diversity of processes catalysed by peroxidases as well as the large number of their genes suggests the possibility of a functional ...

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 2, Page 1079-1093, 30 January 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND An understanding of grape ripening heterogeneity is essential to optimize vineyard management and to ensure wine quality. This study investigated the effect of calcareous soils with different textures (limestone and marlstone) on the chemical composition of white (‘Grillo’ (GR) and ‘Chardonnay’ (CH)) and red (‘Nero d’Avola’ (ND) and

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 2, Page 1283-1298, 30 January 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is a key driver of climate change, making it essential to understand its effects on crop growth and metabolism. This study examines maize C01 (inbred) and B73 (mutant), under elevated CO2 (600, 1200 and 1800 ppm) at three growth stages [40, 70 and 90 days after sowing (DAS)].

First report on the termiticidal activity of extracts of Annona squamosa (Annonaceae) seeds and on its active constituent squamocins [PDF]
, 2012 Termites inflict severe damage on wood and impede usage of several forest species. The biological metabolites could potentially replace synthetic termiticidal products which are becoming more restricted to use.
