Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Weighing the options: a test of alternative stomatal optimisation models at high temperatures
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Stomatal optimisation models centre upon a fundamental tradeoff for plants: opening stomata promotes carbon uptake, but closing stomata prevents water loss. However, stomatal opening can occur at high temperatures, causing evaporative cooling which limits thermal damage to leaves.

Mechanical Strength: An Unrecognised Target in the Genetic Improvement of Crops
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Leaf angle (LA) is a crucial agronomic trait influencing planting density and crop yield. Previous research highlighted the importance of cellular variations in the ligular region for determining LA, but the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unclear.

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Anthropogenic activities have increased CO2 emissions, elevating global temperatures and disrupting rainfall patterns, thus affecting crop productivity. This study examines the photosynthetic performance of Zea mays under elevated temperatures (25°C and 30°C) and CO2 levels (400 and 700 ppm) in two cropping systems: monoculture and an ...

Cloning and expression analysis of Rubisco activase genes in Carya cathayensis
Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2016 Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is a key enzyme involved in CO2 assimilation during photosynthesis. Rubisco activation depends on the activity of Rubisco activase (RCA). We performed 3′/5′ rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE)

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Shade stress affects soybean yield in intercropping, but the molecular basis of cultivar‐specific tolerance is unclear. We analyzed shade‐tolerant (Guru) and sensitive (Heinong 53) soybeans under 30% and 70% shade using transcriptomic, physiological, and biochemical methods.
