Differentiation of Plus Trees of Scots Pine by Xylem Conditions
Лесной журнал, 2023 An essential stage in the establishment of seed orchards is the formation of an optimal composition, avoiding inbreeding depression in the produced seed material, which develops as a result of crossbreeding between closely related plus trees.

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders
Insect Science, EarlyView.Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Analysis of PRX Gene Family and Its Function on Cell Lignification in Pears (Pyrus bretschneideri)
Plants, 2021 Class III peroxidases (PRXs) are plant-specific enzymes that play key roles in the responses to biotic and abiotic stress during plant growth and development. In addition, some peroxidases also play roles in plant lignification. In this study, a total of

Host plant richness and abundance drive populations of a super‐generalist xylem‐feeding insect
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Philaenus spumarius abundance was assessed across 93 sites and four habitat types (olive groves, vineyards, meadows, and field margins) within eight heterogeneous agricultural landscapes over the year. In spring, nymph abundance was positively associated with herbaceous plant species richness and vegetation cover, highlighting that even super ...

Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.This review synthesizes the responses and adaptations of tree growth, including canopy phenology, intra‐annual wood formation dynamics, and annual stem growth, to climate change and climate extremes. It highlights key knowledge gaps for future research to support sustainable forest management and enhance forest carbon storage under ongoing climate ...

Cooperative lignification of xylem tracheary elements.
Plant signaling & behavior, 2015 The development of xylem tracheary elements (TEs)--the hydro-mineral sap conducting cells--has been an evolutionary breakthrough to enable long distance nutrition and upright growth of vascular land plants. To allow sap conduction, TEs form hollow laterally reinforced cylinders by combining programmed cell death and secondary cell wall formation.

The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...
