ABSTRACT Lianas are abundant and influential in tropical forests but decline sharply in cooler regions. This pattern has been attributed to their reliance on a small number of large vessels, which are vulnerable to freeze–thaw embolism. However, the hydraulic functioning of lianas in cooler regions remains poorly understood.

ABSTRACT Maintaining cellular hydration is essential for plant metabolic activity and carbon gain. Plants typically maintain hydration through efficiency of water transport networks, the ability to avoid network disruption, and retention of water via accumulation of osmotica. Given their global domain and their enduring presence across geological eras,

ABSTRACT Perennial crops are continually wounded throughout cultivation. To limit pathogen infection and tissue dehydration, plants have evolved a range of wound responses that protect damaged tissues. These responses include changes in gene expression and the synthesis of protective compounds such as polyphenols.

ABSTRACT Stomatal sensitivity of grapevine varieties has been largely investigated to better understand differences among varieties in water deficit (WD) tolerance. Grapevine varieties also exhibit distinct berry growth and ripening responses under WD, but whether the nature and magnitude of these responses can be predicted by stomatal sensitivity ...

Extreme Polyploidy Reveals Functional Trade-Offs in Plant Drought Responses. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Polyploidy shapes plant physiology and anatomy, yet the extent to which different ploidy levels influence drought responses remains unclear. Here, we investigated how ploidy affects cell‐level coordination and functional traits associated with water transport and retention.

Microbial Partnerships for Sustainable Soybean Cultivation: Mechanisms, Applications and Prospects
ABSTRACT Soybean production is increasingly threatened by fluctuating environmental conditions and nutrient limitations. While synthetic fertilisers can alleviate these constraints, their excessive use has raised concerns regarding long‐term soil health. Consequently, leveraging beneficial soil microbes, a diverse group of microorganisms that reside in
