Genetic, evolutionary and plant breeding insights from the domestication of maize. [PDF]

, 2015
The natural history of maize began nine thousand years ago when Mexican farmers started to collect the seeds of the wild grass, teosinte. Invaluable as a food source, maize permeated Mexican culture and religion.

Stress Granule‐Associated ZmCTU2 Confers Thermotolerance in Maize via Coordinated Regulation of Proteostasis and ROS Homeostasis

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The escalating global temperatures and intensifying heat stress events pose significant threats to maize productivity worldwide. Uncovering key thermotolerance genes and their functional mechanisms is thus critical for developing climate‐resilient crops.

Carbon and nitrogen contents depends on macroalgal species, their tissue section, and development stage

Phycological Research, EarlyView.
SUMMARY Assessing the potential for macroalgae to function as a carbon sink (blue carbon) and nitrogen (N) assimilation is under intensive investigation. The content of elemental carbon (C) and N in macroalgae is the best indicator of their potential; however, with respect to the thallus, C and N content varies in space and time.

Effects of temperature on sexual competition in three kelp species, Pterygophora californica, Nereocystis luetkeana, and Macrocystis pyrifera: Implications for range shifts in foundation species

Phycological Research, EarlyView.
SUMMARY Kelp forests are threatened by rising ocean temperatures. However, the effects of warming on early life stage interactions among co‐occurring kelp species, particularly competitive dynamics and reproductive timing, remain poorly understood. This study investigates the effects of temperature on embryonic sporophyte competitive interactions and ...

Description of four new species of marine macroalgae from Rangitāhua, New Zealand

Phycological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Four species of marine macroalgae are described from Rangitāhua, the northern islands of the New Zealand archipelago. The flora of this region has been considered to have its strongest affinities with other warm‐water regions of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, with very low levels of endemism.

Functional Trait Research in Brazilian Bryophytes: Advances, Biases, and Future Directions

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
The three‐field plot shows how leading researchers, functional traits, and biomes are interconnected in Brazilian bryophyte ecology. It highlights strong links between reproductive traits and the Atlantic Forest, reflecting research focus and collaboration patterns.

The power of ionic movements in plants

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2232-2240, March 2026.
Summary The movement of ion‐driven electrogenic events known as plant action potentials in the Venus flytrap Dionaea muscipula has first been recognized in Darwin's time. Besides electrophysiological techniques making use of current‐ and voltage‐recording electrodes, today an ever‐growing spectrum of tools has become available, that report online ...

Phytosulfokine signalling blocks mycotoxin toxicity in Arabidopsis and mediates suppression of cell death activated by bacterial microbe‐associated molecular patterns

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2515-2530, March 2026.
Summary Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is a mycotoxin that disrupts ceramide biosynthesis and kills plants. Prior activation with bacterial microbe‐associated molecular patterns (MAMPs), such as components of bacterial flagella, effectively suppresses FB1‐induced cell death.

Climate adaptation and functional constraints drive pollen evolution in Apiales

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2574-2587, March 2026.
Summary Pollen grains exhibit remarkable morphological diversity, shaped by selective pressures from environmental factors and mechanical constraints. Here, we investigate macroevolutionary patterns of pollen morphology in Apiales, an order of angiosperms with significant ecological and geographical diversity, to disentangle the roles of climate and ...
