Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Nature at Risk, Finance at Stake: A Systematic Literature Review of Biodiversity Risk in Finance Research

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity‐related financial risk is increasingly recognized not only as a market concern but as an ethical and systemic imperative for businesses and financial institutions. This systematic literature review synthesizes 103 peer‐reviewed studies to examine how biodiversity risk is conceptualized, measured, and integrated within financial ...

Abilities of the Newly Introduced Apple Cultivars (Malus × domestica Borkh.) ‘Eden’ and ‘Fryd’ to Promote Pollen Tube Growth and Fruit Set with Different Combinations of Pollinations

Agronomy
Apple production in Western Norway faces challenges due to climatic constraints and varying phenology. It is essential for cultivars to adapt to regional ecological factors, while suitable pollinators are necessary for successful cultivation.

Interaction Between Actin and Microtubules During Plant Development

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic interaction between actin filaments (AFs) and microtubules (MTs) plays a crucial role in regulating key developmental and physiological processes in plant cells, particularly in the formation of specialized cell types with distinct shapes and functions, such as pollen tubes, trichomes, and leaf epidermal cells.

PEK14: A Kinesin‐4 Necessary for Male‐Derived Fertility in Arabidopsis thaliana

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Of the 61 kinesins annotated in Arabidopsis thaliana, many are still without assigned function. Here, we have screened an insertional mutant library of Arabidopsis pollen‐expressed kinesins for fertility defects. Insertional mutants for three kinesins showed a significant reduction in seed set.

Nuclear Entanglement: New Insights Into the Role of Cytoskeleton and Nucleoskeleton in Plant Nuclear Function

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Of the three types of cytoskeleton known in animals—actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments—only actin and microtubules exist in plants. Both play important roles in cellular shaping, organelle movement, organization of the endomembrane system, and cell signaling.

Making Two out of One: Kinesin Motors Driving Plant Cell Division

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Kinesin superfamily of microtubule dependent motors is present in all eukaryotes. Not all of the subfamilies are represented in all kingdoms, and the ones that are do not always show conserved functions. Tight control of the cytoskeleton is essential for proper progression and completion of mitosis and cytokinesis, and key functions are ...

Seed Production and Pollinator Dependence in Native Wildflowers: Guiding Species Selection for Conservation Plantings

Ecology and Evolution
The diversity of plants and their animal pollinators is in decline due to anthropogenic pressures such as habitat loss, pesticide use, and agricultural intensification. Approximately 78% of angiosperms rely on animal‐mediated pollination, yet data on the

Low seed viability of a rare aster

Journal of Pollination Ecology
The reproductive ecology of rare plants is often unknown, yet the persistence of most plant populations depends on successful interactions with pollinators and favourable environmental conditions.
