Strigolactones Regulate Sugar Allocation to Control Rice Tillering and Root Development via the OsSPL14‐OsSHR1‐OsSWEET16 Pathway

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Strigolactones (SLs) are root‐to‐shoot phytohormones that regulate tillering (branching) and root development. Sugar, as an essential energy substance and signalling molecule, plays a fundamental role in the growth and development of plants. However, the molecular mechanisms by which SL directly regulates sugar allocation to control tillering ...

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Rhizobia–Bean Symbiosis Increases Root Herbivore Attraction and Growth via Volatile Signals and Enhanced Nutrition

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The symbiosis between nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia and plants is considered mutually beneficial, yet its indirect effects on other organisms remain understudied. We examined how rhizobia symbiosis in Phaseolus vulgaris influences the behaviour and performance of Diabrotica balteata larvae. Specifically, we tested larval preference for nodulated (R+

Influence of drought stress on the metabolite and ion composition in nectar and nectaries of different day‐ and night‐flowering Nicotiana species

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Drought stress leads to reduced nectar secretion and alters nectar composition of day‐ and night‐flowering Nicotiana species, which may impair plant–pollinator interactions. Abstract The frequencies of droughts worldwide will increase in the future due to climate changes. Nectar composition of plant species varies in relation to pollinator and can also

Bract size affects resource availability and fruit set in a hummingbird‐pollinated plant with distyly polymorphism

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In Psychotria poeppigiana, larger bracts honestly signal greater nectar availability but have higher mortality, while smaller bracts produce more fruit, revealing a surprising trade‐off and hints of sexual role specialization in this distylous species. Abstract Plants can use non‐floral signals to advertise the presence of resources to pollinators. The

Pollinator plantings in the intensively farmed Midwest (U.S.A.) support a core set of common bee species, regardless of local and landscape controls

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Amidst widespread habitat loss and homogenization of landscapes, pollinator plantings can provide bees with a diversity of foraging resources. Yet, plantings may fall short of restoring historical bee communities. While previous studies have sought to investigate which factors contribute to effective plantings for bee communities, lack of experimental ...
