Reactive oxygen species act as signaling molecules to control root hair initiation and tip growth
Summary Root hairs (RHs) increase the surface area of roots, facilitating nutrient and water uptake and plant anchorage. RHs form from root epidermal cells and elongate by polar tip growth. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have recently been implicated as important signals that drive RH formation and elongation using both genetic and imaging approaches ...

Integrating data to assess occupancy patterns of an endangered bumble bee
Abstract There is growing interest in integrating community science data with structured monitoring data to estimate changes in distribution patterns of imperiled species, including pollinators. However, significant challenges remain in determining how unstructured community science data should be incorporated into formal analyses of species ...

Summary Plants are often subjected to environmental variations in the context of infection such that virus‐induced and abiotic stresses co‐occur. One such environmental variation is water stress, which strongly impacts plant fitness. Although there is ample evidence of the beneficial effects of plant viruses under drought, the consequences of infection

Urban Tree Growth and Drought Responses Show Evidence of Climate Resilience
Urban trees face increasing risks from climate change, including drought and heatwaves, which threaten their growth and survival. By studying 10 tree species across seven Australian cities, we found that local climate strongly influences tree growth, and that some species are well adapted to urban climates.

ABSTRACT The deterioration of wetlands and loss of ecosystem services is a consequence of human‐induced activities and the effects of climate change. In Spain, this situation is intensified in southern arid and semi‐arid regions such as Andalucía, where droughts are particularly intense.

Abstract Public works programmes (PWPs) are pervasively used to tackle poverty and unemployment, and to build infrastructure and skills in low‐ and middle‐income countries. While their impacts on poverty, food security and labour outcomes have been widely documented, there is little research focusing on the role of PWPs in supporting household climate ...

A low‐cost protocol for the optical method of vulnerability curves to calculate P50
Abstract Premise The quantification of plant drought resistance, particularly embolism formation, within and across species, is critical for ecosystem management and agriculture. We developed a cost‐effective protocol to measure the water potential at which 50% of hydraulic conductivity (P50) is lost in stems, using affordable and accessible materials ...
