Sugar alcohols in plants: implications for enhancing tree seedlings drought tolerance and production strategies [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Sugar alcohols, also known as glycitols, are reduced derivatives of sugars with multiple hydroxyl groups attached to the sugar skeleton. While classified as carbohydrates, they differ from monosaccharides by lacking an aldehyde or keto group.

Opposing seasonal trends in source water and sugar dampen intra-annual variability in tree rings oxygen isotopes. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Variations of oxygen isotopes δ18O in tree rings provide critical insights into past climate and tree physiological processes, yet the mechanisms shaping the intra‐annual δ18O signals remain incompletely understood. To address this gap, we investigated how seasonal changes in source water, leaf water, and sugars influence δ18O recorded along ...
