Ecological and genomic variation in ectomycorrhizal fungal exploration types

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) produce mycelia with variable extension and complexity, which can be classified according to soil ‘exploration types’ (ETs). ETs have received attention as one of the few mycorrhizal trait frameworks, but without an empirical classification of ET functional diversity and environmental preferences, understanding and ...

Comparative genomics of dark septate endophytes: shedding light on the enigmatic lifestyle and biology of DSEs

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Ancestral lifestyle reconstruction across the phylogeny of the 107 analysed fungal genomes. Summary Dark septate endophytes (DSE) are widespread root‐colonising fungi with poorly understood lifestyle and ecological functions. We investigated their genomic traits, sexual reproduction signatures, carbohydrate‐active enzyme (CAZyme) and secondary ...

Decomposition and mycorrhizal suppression of saprotrophs remain stable after wildfire and clearcut disturbance in boreal forests

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Boreal forests store a large portion of global terrestrial carbon, primarily in soils, yet their sensitivity to environmental changes remains uncertain. Disturbance is one major agent of change, with dominance shifting from wildfire to forest management over the past century.

Root age structure governs long‐term architecture and hydraulic function in perennial plants: a modelling framework

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Conceptual overview of the perennial extensions implemented in CPlantBox, implemented for Vitis vinifera. Summary Perennial root systems develop over decades and exhibit continuous turnover of structural and absorptive components, yet most root architecture models treat woody roots as permanent and neglect root age structure.

Warming Has Limited Effects on Carbon‐Use Efficiency of Wheat and Upland Rice Plants—Evidence From a 13CO2 Labelling Study

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant carbon‐use efficiency (CUE) is a key parameter quantifying the net carbon gain with respect to gross carbon fixation. Although it is critical for carbon cycle models, it is often assigned an empirical value due to measurement difficulty. Uncertainty remains whether CUE is affected by warming. We quantified CUE in wheat (Triticum aestivum)

Root Microbiota Reprogram Aboveground Metabolite Allocation Across Tea Plant Tissues

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tea quality is determined by the composition and spatial distribution of specialized metabolites, such as amino acids, catechins, and caffeine, which vary across tissues and developmental stages. However, the mechanisms underlying metabolite allocation among tissues remain unclear.
