In silico analysis of the evolution of root phenotypes during maize domestication in Neolithic soils of Tehuacán

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Roots are essential for plant adaptation to changing environments, yet the role of roots in crop domestication remains unclear. This study examined the evolution of root phenotypes from teosinte to maize, a transition resulting in reduced nodal root number (NRN), multiseriate cortical sclerenchyma (MCS), and increased seminal root number (SRN).

TIR innovations in plant immunity

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Toll/interleukin‐1 receptor (TIR) domain‐containing immune receptors are crucial for plant immunity, with recent advancements highlighting the enzymatic functions of TIR domains and their production of signaling molecules. TIR‐catalyzed compounds interact with receptors to form functional modules that trigger the oligomerization of helper ...

Dioecy in a wind‐pollinated herb explained by disruptive selection on sex allocation via inbreeding avoidance

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The evolution of dioecy from hermaphroditism is widely thought to be a response to disruptive selection favoring males and females, driven by advantages of inbreeding avoidance, sexual specialization, or both. It has hitherto been difficult to uncouple the importance of these two hypotheses.

Alleviation of water‐deficit inhibition of plant growth by rhizosphere microbiota conditioning

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Rhizosphere microbiota conditioning is a promising strategy to enhance plant growth. We conditioned the rhizosphere microbiota of Brassica juncea to water deficit to assess its impact on plant growth. In a glasshouse, plants were first grown under well‐watered conditions, then exposed to moderate (MD, pF = 2.3) or extreme (ED, pF = 3.5) water ...

Microbial drivers of root plasticity

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Soils are highly heterogeneous and dynamic systems, experiencing a constant flow of plant root exudates and moisture fluctuations that affect nutrient distribution, soil physicochemical properties, and microbial metabolisms. Plant roots adjust their development within the soil matrix (growth, branching, root angle, and anatomical features) by ...
