Ecological predictors of plant responses to sequential herbivory: a meta‐analysis

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plants evolved alongside herbivores for over 400 million years and show remarkable plasticity in responses to attack by multiple herbivores. However, it is often debated which herbivore traits predict plant responses and it is poorly understood how plant life‐history traits contribute to the variation observed in plant responses.

Pathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis exploits the lateral root regulators to induce pluripotency in maize shoots

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Biotrophic plant–pathogens secrete effector molecules to redirect and exploit endogenous signaling and developmental pathways in their favor. The biotrophic fungus Ustilago maydis causes galls on all aerial parts of maize. However, the responsible gall‐inducing effectors and corresponding plant signaling pathway(s) remain largely unknown.

Low abundance of phytophagous nematodes under invasive exotic Pinus elliottii – enemy release and plant–soil feedbacks

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary According to the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), the fitness of exotic plants and their capacity to become invasive in their area of introduction may partly be attributable to the loss of their natural enemies. Invasive species may also benefit from modifying soil attributes and thereby creating a positive soil–plant feedback.

The potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida overcomes major potato resistance through selection on standing variation at a single locus

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Globodera pallida poses a major threat to potato production, with management strategies primarily relying on genetic resistance. However, increasing virulence in field populations across Western Europe raises major concerns for G. pallida control.

KRP3 Stability Controls Rice Plant Architecture and Productivity via MPK3‐Mediated Phosphorylation

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Yield is a critical agronomic trait in cereal crops, shaped by factors like tiller and seed number, and seed weight. Understanding the factors governing these traits will help in improving the yield of plants. In this study, we identified an orphan gene, KRP3, belonging to cereal crops as a key regulator of rice plant architecture.
