Age-related phenological and anatomical response of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) under severe summer drought conditions

Journal of Forest Science
The year 2018 was distinguished by a warm summer with extended periods of low or no precipitation. In this context, we investigated the intra-annual dynamics of xylem differentiation phases and quantitative vessel anatomy to analyse the age effect on the

Glucuronoyl Esterase of Pathogenic Phanerochaete carnosa Induces Immune Responses in Aspen Independently of Its Enzymatic Activity

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 602-619, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial enzymes expressed in plants add new functionalities but occasionally trigger undesirable immune responses. Phanerochaete carnosa glucuronoyl esterase (PcGCE) hydrolyses the bond between lignin and 4‐O‐methyl‐α‐D‐glucuronic acid substituent of glucuronoxylan.

Environmental Drivers of Xylogenesis in Taxodium Distichum (Bald Cypress) in the Southeastern United States

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Bald cypress (Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich.), a foundation species in the bottomland hardwood forests of the southeastern United States, is essential for maintaining ecosystem functions. This study assesses the impacts of environmental changes on bald cypress ring widths and xylogenesis by correlating growth patterns with climatic variables ...

Carbon neutrality of forest biomass for bioenergy: a scoping review

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2023
The exploitation of forest biomass for bioenergy is commonly perceived as part of a broad strategy for climate change mitigation due to the view that forest biomass is carbon neutral.

The Sequence of Drought‐Driven Stomatal Closure, Stem Xylem Embolism, Dehydration, and Aquaporin Gene Expression Differs Among Species

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Stem dehydration is critical in predicting drought‐driven tree mortality. Yet, how it coordinates with stomatal closure, xylem embolism, and aquaporin‐mediated water transport regulation remains unknown. Two angiosperms (beech and olive) and two conifers (pine and juniper) of contrasted embolism resistance were selected to assess the sequence ...

Large‐scale atmospheric variability entails differential modes of seasonal tree growth in the Mediterranean Basin

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2652-2667, September 2025.
This work demonstrates the control of teleconnections on seasonal tree growth through local climate across the Mediterranean basin. Despite the constant link between the East Atlantic Pattern and temperature, synergies among teleconnections point to an east–west dipole in tree seasonal growth, driven by precipitation variability.

Caspase inhibitors affect the kinetics and dimensions of tracheary elements in xylogenic Zinnia (Zinnia elegans) cell cultures [PDF]

, 2010
Background The xylem vascular system is composed of fused dead, hollow cells called tracheary elements (TEs) that originate through trans-differentiation of root and shoot cambium cells. TEs undergo autolysis as they differentiate and mature.

Multiyear Drought Strengthens Positive and Negative Functional Diversity Effects on Tree Growth Response

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.
Mixed‐species forests may help trees better cope with increasing drought stress under climate change. We analyzed tree‐ring growth from nearly 1000 trees across 16 species in 9 experimental plantations across Europe to understand how tree diversity influences drought responses.

A three-year increase in soil temperature and atmospheric N deposition has minor effects on the xylogenesis of mature balsam fir

, 2013
Tree growth in most boreal forests is strongly regulated by temperature and nitrogen (N) availability. The expected increases in soil temperature and N deposition over the next decades have the potential to affect the phenology of tree growth and ...

Xylogenesis and hormones in soybean callus. II. The effect of carbohydrates and various plant growth regulators [PDF]

, 1989
Xylogenesis was induced in undifferentiated soybean callus by the application of auxin, cytokinins, gibberellic acid and carbohydrates. Auxin (IBA) was a prerequisite for tracheary element formation and its effect could be enhanced significantly by the ...
