Contrasting effects of experimental warming in the initiation year and the flowering year on flower phenology of boreal understory species

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Premise High‐latitude plants initiate flower primordia at least 1 year before flowering. While impacts of rising temperatures on phenology in the flowering year are well studied, the effects of warmer temperatures in the initiation year (IY; the year before flowering) are virtually unknown.

Developing an understanding of American elderberry (Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis (L.) Bolli) to support breeding efforts

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Elderberries (Sambucus spp.) have been valued as food and medicine around the world for millennia. Elderberry products are experiencing an increase in demand as ongoing research substantiates their putative health benefits. European elderberries (Sambucus nigra subsp. nigra) are an established industry in Europe and are often imported into the

Effect of Elicitor Treatments on Quality Attributes in Blueberry: Implications of Cultivar and Environmental Conditions

Plants
Elicitors of plant defence responses can trigger defence mechanisms that are able to protect plant tissues from biotic or abiotic stresses. Since one defence response involves the activation of secondary metabolites’ biosynthesis, the purpose of this ...

American highbush cranberry maintains strong population structure despite naturalization of Eurasian relatives in North America

American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Premise The proper classification of taxa is often debated, particularly when organisms lack qualitative diagnostic traits. Highbush cranberry taxa (Viburnum spp.) have been the subject of such disputes since their characterization by 18th‐ and 19th‐century botanists. Despite their allopatric distributions—V.

Plants, Pollinators and Pheromones: Promises and Lies of Semiochemicals

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 9, Page 6865-6873, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Pollination is traditionally regarded as a quintessential mutualism, yet many plants employ deceptive strategies to achieve reproductive success. Among the most intriguing is sexual deception, wherein flowers mimic the sex pheromones and visual signals of female insects to attract male pollinators—without providing any reward.

Characteristics, Bioactives and Antioxidant Activity of Illawarra Plum (Podocarpus elatus) Fruit

eFood, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2025.
This study characterizes the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of mature Illawarra plums (IP), broadly categorized by flesh color into three ripening stages; unripe (green), almost ripe (blushing) and ripe (red). The ripe fruit measures 14.78 ± 3.1 (h) × 17.45 ± 2.7 (w) × 14.69 ± 3.0 mm (d) and weighs 2.5958 ± 1.2 g with no significant size ...
