Leaf‐chewing but not sap‐feeding herbivores create soil legacies that shape plant resistance through trait‐mediated, guild‐specific effects in Baccharis salicifolia

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory can affect the soil microbiome, creating legacies that affect plant resistance, but how these effects vary by feeding guild and the plant traits involved remain underexplored. We tested how soil legacies created by a leaf‐chewing caterpillar (Spodoptera exigua)

Senescent trees stabilize aboveground wood net primary production immediately after disturbance [PDF]

, 2020
In the United States, forests sequester 17% of national carbon (C) emissions annually (UGCRP, 2018), however shifting forest disturbances threaten the stability of this essential C sink.

Infection of Barley by Brome Mosaic Virus Is Restricted Predominantly to Cells in and Associated with Veins through a Temperature-Dependent Mechanism

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1999
Results from previous cytological studies on barley (Hordeum vulgare) infected with brome mosaic virus (BMV) indicated that this virus can infect and accumulate to high levels in mesophyll and other cell types within the leaves.

Contrasting light demands determine the coordination of plants' non‐structural carbohydrates and economic strategy over the range of solar spectral composition

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Non‐structural carbohydrates (NSC) are critical mediators of plant adaptation to fluctuating light environments. They are tightly coordinated with plant economic strategy, that is, leaf economics spectrum (LES) and root economics spectrum (RES).

Osmotically driven pipe flows and their relation to sugar transport in plants

, 2008
In plants, osmotically driven flows are believed to be responsible for translocation of sugar in the pipe-like phloem cell network, spanning the entire length of the plant.

Multiple QTL-effects of wheat Gpc-B1 locus on grain protein and micronutrient concentrations [PDF]

, 2007
Micronutrient malnutrition afflicts over three billion peopleworldwide and the numbers are continuously increasing. Developing genetically micronutrientenriched cereals, which are the predominant source of human dietary, is essential to alleviate ...

Influence of Temperature on Cambial Activity and Cell Differentiation in Quercus Sessiliflora and Acer Pseudoplatanus of Different Ages

Drvna Industrija, 2013
We evaluated the response of active cambium of sessile oak (Quercus sessiliflora) and sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) to experimentally increased (20–22 °C) and decreased (9–11 °C) temperatures.

The coordination of dehydration tolerance and avoidance in oaks is mediated by leaf habit across a precipitation gradient

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests worldwide are increasingly impacted by drought due to climate change, prompting plants to adapt through dehydration tolerance (DT) and avoidance (DA), two distinct physiological strategies.

12 years of assembly patterns in saproxylic beetles suggest early decay wood as ephemeral resource patch

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We reveal that early stages of deadwood decomposition follow ecological rules of ephemeral resource patches. By tracking beetle communities over 12 years, we show how decomposition dynamics shape community assembly patterns, highlighting the importance of continuous deadwood input for sustaining saproxylic beetles in temperate forests.
