Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Optimal balancing of xylem efficiency and safety explains plant vulnerability to drought [PDF]

, 2023
In vast areas of the world, forests and vegetation are water limited and plant survival depends on the ability to avoid catastrophic hydraulic failure. Therefore, it is remarkable that plants take hydraulic risks by operating at water potentials (ψ) that

Genetic switch to lower nitrogen fertilizer dependency and enhance maize yield

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Transcription factor NCR1 regulates nitrate transporter NRT2.3 and controls root‐to‐shoot nitrogen transport. A superior NCR1 haplotype, lost in modern maize breeding, boosts this process. This discovery enables breeding and biotechnology to develop high‐yielding maize varieties that require less nitrogen fertilizer, reducing agricultural costs and ...
