The Shock of Shatter: Understanding Silique and Silicle Dehiscence for Improving Oilseed Crops in Brassicaceae

open access: yesPlant Direct, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Silique dehiscence, despite being an essential physiological process for seed dispersal for dehiscent fruits, is disadvantageous for the agricultural industry. While crops have been selected against the expression of natural, spontaneous shattering to protect the seeds for harvest, fruit dehiscence in the field can be promoted through abiotic ...

Nutrient‐induced changes in root respiration in 10 woody plant species

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 1128-1139, April 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are soil macronutrients that influence ecosystem productivity through strong impacts on plant metabolism. The influence of nutrient supply on the relationships between leaf respiration rate (R) and leaf N concentration ([N]) has been ...

The Locus Coeruleus: Anatomy, Physiology, and Stress‐Related Neuropsychiatric Disorders

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 61, Issue 7, April 2025.
Repeated and chronic exposure to stressors may activate the locus coeruleus–norepinephrine (LC‐NE) system. Depression and post‐traumatic stress disorders precipitated by a stressful event are associated with the hypersecretion of the corticotropin‐releasing factor (CRF) leading to elevated CRF levels in the brain (green arrows pointed up).

A Systematic Review of Alternative Host Species of Phytophthora erythroseptica, the Major Causal Agent of Pink Rot of Potato

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 3, Page 605-640, April 2025.
The literature cites many alternative hosts of Phytophthora erythroseptica. However, evidence of host status is often insufficient, thus a polyphasic approach (morphological, molecular, histological and pathogenicity) is required. ABSTRACT Most published studies of Phytophthora erythroseptica, the major causal agent of pink rot of potato, have focused ...

Berberine bridge enzyme‐like oxidases orchestrate homeostasis and signaling of oligogalacturonides in defense and upon mechanical damage

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 122, Issue 1, April 2025.
Significance Statement Homeostasis of damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) is essential to prevent harmful hyper‐immunity. OGOXs are enzymes that oxidize and inactivate in vitro the oligogalacturonides (OGs), i.e. the best characterized DAMPs in plants.
