Using herbarium collections to study genetic responses to global change
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Earth's c. 406 million herbarium specimens represent a largely untapped resource of genetic data that could transform our understanding of global plant populations. Advances in DNA sequencing have made the extraction of genetic data from these preserved specimens increasingly feasible, enabling new insights into plant biodiversity and ...

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary In plants, multiple cell types contribute to immunity, but what division of labor exists among cell types when immunity is activated? We compared, at single‐cell resolution, the response of Arabidopsis thaliana leaf cells during pattern‐triggered and effector‐triggered immunity (PTI/ETI), sampled at 3 and 5 h after infection with Pseudomonas ...

Reduced snow cover at the alpine treeline: resistance and recovery of saplings
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary At high elevations, tree saplings and shrubs are usually protected by mid‐winter snow cover, although climate change is expected to extend the snow‐free (SF) period. Exposure to winter drought, freeze–thaw events and freezing temperatures will therefore increase, inducing damages to the hydraulic system and to living cells, resulting in reduced

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 ...

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Stomata have the crucial role of balancing the uptake of CO2 for photosynthesis and water loss via transpiration by adjusting their aperture. In C3 plants, coordination between photosynthesis and stomatal conductance can be disrupted by mutations in Calvin–Benson–Bassham (CBB) cycle expression, but it is not clear whether the disruption of the ...

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.
