Climate adaptation and functional constraints drive pollen evolution in Apiales
Summary Pollen grains exhibit remarkable morphological diversity, shaped by selective pressures from environmental factors and mechanical constraints. Here, we investigate macroevolutionary patterns of pollen morphology in Apiales, an order of angiosperms with significant ecological and geographical diversity, to disentangle the roles of climate and ...

Summary Southern leaf blight (SLB), caused by the necrotrophic fungus Cochliobolus heterostrophus, is a major foliar disease of maize (Zea mays) world‐wide. A genome‐wide association study was performed to dissect the genetic basis of SLB resistance in maize. Functional validation was performed using mutant and transgenic analyses.

Summary Following changes in light flux, photosynthesis (A) typically adjusts more quickly than stomatal conductance (gs), which is dependent on changes in stomatal aperture. Faster stomatal responses are proposed to reduce water loss and enhance growth in dynamic light environments. Stomatal opening and closing parameters were determined in a range of

Revisiting the relationship between stomatal size and speed across species – a meta‐analysis
Summary The rate of stomatal opening and closure in response to changes in light affects leaf photosynthesis and water use. However, it is unclear how strongly stomatal size (SS) and density (SD) influence stomatal conductance (gs) kinetics, and whether variation arises from methodological differences, guard cell type or degree of amphistomaty.

Summary Plant‐derived oils are essential sources of reduced carbon and various fatty acid (FA) structures for food, biofuels, and the oleochemical industry. Despite extensive efforts, engineering mainstream oilseed crops to produce high levels of industrially valuable unusual FAs (UFAs) remains challenging.
