Water amount, rather than watering frequency, structures root‐associated microbial communities and their links to plant performance

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is altering both the amount and temporal distribution of precipitation, yet drought is often simplified to a single gradient of water reduction. As a result, how experimentally imposed variation in water amount and watering frequency jointly shape root ...

Herbivory enhances cadmium foraging in the invasive hyperaccumulating plant Phytolacca americana

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Biological invasions and heavy metal pollution are two pervasive environmental challenges threatening global ecosystems. While the elemental defence hypothesis posits that certain plants accumulate heavy metals to deter herbivores, it remains unclear whether invasive ...

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Phenotypic characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants that alleviate root growth defects in a vitamin B6 biosynthesis mutant

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Vitamin B6 is a critical molecule for plant metabolism and development. Rsr4‐1, a loss‐of‐function mutant in a vitamin B6 biosynthesis gene, has a distinct short root phenotype. Here we describe five novel suppressor mutants with an rsr4‐1 background that have normalized root growth and distinct phenotypic and molecular characteristics, representing a ...

Efectos del ácido giberélico y el desmane sobre las características del racimo en plátano Dominico Hartón Effects of gibberellic acid and dehandling on Dominico Harton plantain bunch characteristics

open access: yesActa Agronómica, 2008
Para establecer si la aplicación de ácido incrementa el efecto benéfico del desmane sobre las características del racimo de plátano Dominico Hartón, se llevó a cabo un experimento en la granja Montelindo (Palestina, Caldas).

Reactive oxygen species, antioxidants and the regulation of plant development

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The regulation of axillary bud outgrowth by the interplay between phytohormone and redox signals. Axillary bud outgrowth is regulated by cellular energy status and the balance between phytohormones, notably abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellic acid (GA).

Natural variation in the GNH1 promoter enhances plant height and grain yield in rice

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Natural variation in the GRAIN NUMBER AND PLANT HEIGHT 1 (GNH1) promoter alleviates repression by the C2H2‐type transcription factor ZFP36, upregulating GNH1 expression and promoting auxin accumulation, thereby increasing rice plant height and grain yield. This elite allele serves as a valuable genetic resource for molecular breeding of high‐yield rice.

Phytohormone profiling in an evolutionary framework

open access: yes
The genomes of charophyte green algae, close relatives of land plants, typically do not show signs of developmental regulation by phytohormones. However, scattered reports of endogenous phytohormone production in these organisms exist.
