New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2946-2965, June 2026.Summary Tropical peatlands are critical for climate mitigation due to their dual role as major carbon sinks and methane sources. In rainforests, high and stable rainfall supports peat accumulation in tropical climates. However, groundwater‐fed peatlands in seasonally dry tropical ecosystems remain poorly understood, despite their potential importance ...

An eco‐evolutionary optimality model explains the acclimated temperature response of photosynthesis
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2884-2899, June 2026.Summary The optimal temperature of photosynthesis (Topt) generally increases with plant growth temperature. Changes in Topt are associated with changes in the maximum carboxylation capacity at 25°C (Vcmax25) and the maximum electron transport rate at 25°C (Jmax25). The ratio between Jmax25 and Vcmax25 declines with warming.

Development of the HTRF assay to evaluate the auxin‐induced binding between TIR1 and IAA7
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3475-3485, June 2026.Summary Auxin plays diverse roles in plant growth and development, including sensing environmental changes. Quantifying the interaction between auxin coreceptors provides the molecular basis for cells to sense and adapt to environmental cues. Although several assays are available, a more high‐throughput method is necessary to efficiently evaluate the ...

The structure of intact and active Photosystem II from Arabidopsis thaliana at 2.44 Å resolution
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3014-3025, June 2026.Summary Photosystem II (PS II) is a large membrane‐bound protein complex that catalyses light‐driven water oxidation in plants and cyanobacteria. The structure of PS II is well studied in cyanobacteria; however, there are very few PS II structures from plants.

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3381-3395, June 2026.Summary Alien trees reshape belowground fungal communities, but the factors governing the balance between mutualists and pathogens remain unclear. We tested whether residence time, mycorrhizal type, and biogeographical origin shape this balance, and whether alien stands differ from native vegetation. We sampled soils beneath 73 alien tree species in 48

Da Vinci's mischief: xylem conduits in the stems of woody plants do not furcate
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3001-3013, June 2026.Summary The hydraulic architecture of plants is often modeled as a ‘furcating’ network, in which xylem conduits proliferate in number toward the stem apex, analogous to animal circulatory systems. Yet whether furcation actually occurs within woody stems remains untested, despite major implications for carbon costs and hydraulic efficiency.

Benzoxazinoid‐mediated microbiome feedbacks enhance Arabidopsis growth and defence
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3334-3348, June 2026.Summary Plants modulate their surrounding microbiome via root exudates and such conditioned soil microbiomes feed back on the performance of the next generation of plants. How plants perceive altered soil microbiomes and modulate their performance in response to such microbiome feedbacks, however, remains largely unknown.

Can species adapt to drought using multiple strategies? Lessons from the California poppy
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2918-2932, June 2026.Summary Plants can escape drought by completing life cycles early, tolerate drought by increasing physiological limits, or avoid drought stress by obtaining or using water more efficiently. It remains unclear whether strategies vary within species across their distributional ranges due to trade‐offs, and whether species can exhibit plasticity in ...

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3486-3498, June 2026.Summary Plant root‐associated anoxic microsites may influence the fate of nutrients and contaminants in the rhizosphere, but their dynamics remain relatively unknown. To examine the formation of root‐induced anoxic microsites over space and time, we use microfluidic devices integrated with transparent, planar oxygen sensors in a wheat (Triticum ...

Structure and sequence evolution in the pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) pangenome
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2723-2741, June 2026.Summary Eukaryotic genomes harbor many forms of variation, including nucleotide diversity and structural polymorphisms, which experience natural selection and contribute to genome evolution and biodiversity. Harnessing this variation for agriculture hinges on our ability to detect, quantify, catalog, and deploy genetic diversity. Here, we explore seven
