Leaf Length Predicts Twig Xylem Vessel Diameter Across Angiosperms

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1330-1339, March 2026.
ABSTRACT As plants grow taller, increasing conductive pathlength imposes hydraulic resistance, challenging the maintenance of water transport to leaves. While tip‐to‐base conduit widening along the stem helps mitigate this resistance, theoretical models and empirical data suggest that stem widening alone is insufficient to fully compensate.

Phenotypic Cuticle Plasticity at High Elevation: Is Microstructure and Microchemistry Related to Water Permeability?

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1778-1792, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Kalmia procumbens (K. procumbens), a ubiquitous alpine dwarf shrub, thrives at high elevations, particularly on wind‐exposed sites. Plants on contrasting north‐ and southeast‐facing slopes at ~2237 m elevation exhibit differences in leaf colour and growth, suggesting acclimative strategies.

Shifting in the shadows: Morphofunctional variations of Miconia sellowiana Naudin (Melastomataceae) associated with cave environments

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 441-451, March 2026.
Cave environments filter plant traits, selecting thinner, smaller leaves with reduced photosynthetic and vascular structures. Abstract Caves present unique ecological conditions that influence the distribution and adaptation of species, yet studies on cave‐associated vegetation remain limited.

The secreted redox sensor roGFP2‐Orp1 reveals oxidative dynamics in the plant apoplast

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 359-373, March 2026.
Using the secreted redox biosensor roGFP2‐Orp1, we reveal differences in extracellular (apoplastic) oxidative processes between and within species, depending on cell type and immune signalling. Abstract Specific generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is important for signalling and defence in many organisms. In plants, different types of ROS serve

Leaf size in mosses is structurally constrained by cell dimensions and genome size

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 420-431, March 2026.
Cell size and midribs are the main mechanical determinants of moss leaf size, which itself depends on growth form and genome size; together, these relationships underpin key aspects of moss ecology and performance. Abstract Leaf anatomy is a key factor determining plant ecology.

Ustilago hordei Delivers Heterologous Fungal Effectors for Screening and Characterisation in Wheat

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 2, March–April 2026.
Ustilago hordei, a barley pathogen, has been engineered to deliver effectors of fungal pathogens in wheat. Necrosis‐inducing activities of Parastagonospora nodorum effectors SnTOX1 and SnTOX3 can effectively be screened for. Challenges occur when stem rust fungus avirulence effectors are tested in this secretion system.

Sclerified Cork Outperforms the Exodermis: Root Water Permeability Decreases in the Soil‐To‐Canopy Transition of the Aroid Vine Epipremnum aureum

open access: yesPhysiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT The aroid vine Epipremnum aureum undergoes changes in habitat and growth axis direction from terrestrial (plagiotropic) to canopy (orthotropic) conditions. Since aerial roots connected to the forest soil are vital for water and nutrient uptake in these vines, we hypothesize that morphophysiological acclimation occurs, enabling root survival ...
