Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 525-534, November 2026.Optimal growing temperatures varied with mountain pine beetle‐associated fungal species. There was only a marginal impact of temperature on the response of fungi to defensive monoterpenes of novel host pine. Interspecific facilitation occurred for Leptiographuim longiclavatum when grown in Ophiostoma montium‐induced treatments at optimal temperatures ...

Genomic variation drives plant flavor diversification
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 11, Page 3895-3913, November 2026.This review explains how genomic variation shapes plant flavor by altering the biosynthetic and regulatory pathways of key attributes like sweetness, acidity, bitterness, piquancy, astringency, and aroma. It also discusses how multi‐omics, AI‐assisted breeding, and gene editing can translate this knowledge into plants with improved flavor, nutrition ...

Functional memory of drought affects leaf chemical defenses and microbial interactions in aspen
New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 4, Page 1413-1431, November 2026.Experimental design of the common garden study. Summary Drought is an important driver of tree mortality, but its long‐term impacts on trait expression remain poorly understood. Leaves are a key interface at which trees respond to abiotic stress, and foliar traits such as chemical defenses and microbial communities may play a role in determining post ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 7997-8013, November 2026.ABSTRACT Isoprene is the most abundant biogenic volatile organic compound emitted by terrestrial vegetation. Here we report the impact of isoprene on root‐associated microbiomes. Using isoprene‐emitting (IE) transgenic tobacco and isogenic non‐emitting (NE) controls, we performed co‐cultivation experiments in natural soil and analysed plant phenotypes ...
