A Volatile Cue From a Specialist Herbivore Primes Gene Expression Against Biotic Stress in Tall Goldenrod (Solidago altissima L.)

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insect‐derived molecular cues can prime plant defences against herbivore attack. The genes that are sensitive to priming, and how their expression changes on the scale of days, have not been fully resolved. Moreover, priming may affect interactions with insects that are not the source of the priming cue.

Phenotypic Cuticle Plasticity at High Elevation: Is Microstructure and Microchemistry Related to Water Permeability?

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Kalmia procumbens (K. procumbens), a ubiquitous alpine dwarf shrub, thrives at high elevations, particularly on wind‐exposed sites. Plants on contrasting north‐ and southeast‐facing slopes at ~2237 m elevation exhibit differences in leaf colour and growth, suggesting acclimative strategies.

Influence of temperature and light on the development of moth larvae: Different response in the sister species Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Experimental rearing of Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi larvae under four controlled climate‐chamber treatments (15°C vs. 20°C; 24h darkness vs.12h light/12h dark) to isolate temperature and light effects on development. Repeated measurements of larval body size, biomass and pupation timing to quantify how growth rates and developmental duration ...

Turgor loss point explains climate‐driven growth reductions in trees in Central Europe

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Leaf turgor loss point of native tree species shows a high predictive power over the observed growth anomalies in Central Europe during the extensive drought period between 2018 and 2020. Abstract As climate change thrives, and the frequency of intense droughts is affecting many forested regions, a mechanistic understanding of the factors conferring ...
