New support for the Enhanced Mutualism Hypothesis for invasion New Phytol. (IF 10.323) Pub Date : 2022-07-28 Ylva Lekberg, Ragan M. Callaway
Why are so many exotic plant species more abundant and have greater impacts in their nonnative than native ranges? Hypotheses that address this vexing question generally focus on variation in the intensity of negative interactions, such as escaping consumers or outcompeting natives in nonnative ranges (Jeschke, 2014). But in addition to these, some invasive species have shown a remarkable ability to

As a consequence of these, the autofluorescence common in plant tissues in fluorescence microscopy may interfere with the specific detection of fluorescent staining and fluorescent proteins. In functional analyses of interactions

Elevation and plant species identity jointly shape a diverse arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community in the High Arctic New Phytol. (IF 10.323) Pub Date : 2022-06-25 Pil U. Rasmussen, Nerea Abrego, Tomas Roslin, Maarja Öpik, Siim-Kaarel Sepp, F. Guillaume Blanchet, Tea Huotari, Luisa W. Hugerth, Ayco J. M. Tack
Introduction Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are important root symbionts found in the majority of terrestrial plant roots (van der Heijden et al., 2015). Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can have significant impacts on plant fitness (Klironomos et al., 2000), plant community composition (Hartnett & Wilson, 1999; van der Heijden et al., 2008) and ecosystem functioning (van der Heijden et al., 2015) –

Natural variation in root suberization is associated with local environment in Arabidopsis thaliana. New Phytol. (IF 10.323) Pub Date : 2022-06-24 Tao Feng,Pan Wu,Huani Gao,Dylan K Kosma,Matthew A Jenks,Shiyou Lü
Genetic signature of climate adaptation has been widely recognized across the genome of many organisms; however, the eco-physiological basis for linking genomic polymorphisms with local adaptations remains largely unexplored. Using a panel of 218 world-wide Arabidopsis accessions, we characterized the natural variation in root suberization by quantifying 16 suberin monomers. We explored the associations

An increasing number of countries regulate genome editing in crops New Phytol. (IF 10.323) Pub Date : 2022-06-23 Marcel Buchholzer, Wolf B. Frommer
Genome editing provides the means for targeted DNA changes in precise locations in a plant genome. Large parts of the world have already introduced regulations or guidelines for crops that were subjected to genome editing. Over the past 2 years, many more countries have introduced guidelines that enable the use of such edited lines in agriculture in a similar way as conventionally bred lines, provided

Salinity induces discontinuous protoxylem via a DELLA-dependent mechanism promoting salt tolerance in Arabidopsis seedlings New Phytol. (IF 10.323) Pub Date : 2022-06-23 Frauke Augstein, Annelie Carlsbecker
Introduction Survival of plant seedlings is affected by many environmental parameters such as available water and soil salinity. Salt has a negative impact on the plant both through its osmotic effect, which may result in reduced ability for water uptake, and because of ion toxicity (Munns & Tester, 2008). It affects many important processes including photosynthesis, respiration, ion uptake and membrane

Mitochondrial genomic data are effective at placing mycoheterotrophic lineages in plant phylogeny. New Phytol. (IF 10.323) Pub Date : 2022-06-22 Qianshi Lin,Thomas W A Braukmann,Marybel Soto Gomez,Juliana Lischka Sampaio Mayer,Fábio Pinheiro,Vincent S F T Merckx,Saša Stefanović,Sean W Graham
Fully mycoheterotrophic plants can be difficult to place in plant phylogeny due to elevated substitution rates associated with photosynthesis loss. This potentially limits the effectiveness of downstream analyses of mycoheterotrophy that depend on accurate phylogenetic inference. Although mitochondrial genomic data sets are rarely used in plant phylogenetics, theory predicts that they should be resilient

Fragaria mitogenomes evolve rapidly in structure but slowly in sequence and incur frequent multinucleotide mutations mediated by microinversions. New Phytol. (IF 10.323) Pub Date : 2022-06-22 Weishu Fan,Fang Liu,Qiaoya Jia,Haiyuan Du,Wu Chen,Jiwei Ruan,Jiajun Lei,De-Zhu Li,Jeffrey P Mower,Andan Zhu
Plant mitochondrial DNA has been described as evolving rapidly in structure but slowly in sequence. However, many of the noncoding portions of plant mitogenomes are not homologous among species, raising questions about the rate and spectrum of mutations in noncoding regions. Recent studies have suggested that the lack of homology in noncoding regions could be due to increased sequence divergence. We

Shoot thermosensors do not fulfil the same function in the root New Phytol. (IF 10.323) Pub Date : 2022-06-22 María Belén Borniego, Cecilia Costigliolo-Rojas, Jorge J. Casal
Introduction Increasing ambient temperature within the physiological, nonstressful, range promotes the growth of the hypocotyl (Gray et al., 1998) and of the primary root (Hanzawa et al., 2013), whilst reducing the expansion of the cotyledons (Hahm et al., 2020) of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings. We currently know three thermosensors, phytochrome B (phyB) (Jung et al., 2016; Legris et al., 2016), EARLY

Sugar transporter TaSTP3 activation by TaWRKY19/61/82 enhances stripe rust susceptibility in wheat. New Phytol. (IF 10.323) Pub Date : 2022-06-21 Baoyu Huai,Pu Yuan,Xiaoxuan Ma,Xiurui Zhang,Lihua Jiang,Peijing Zheng,Mohan Yao,Ziyu Chen,Liyang Chen,Qianhua Shen,Zhensheng Kang,Jie Liu
Sugar efflux from host plants is essential for pathogen survival and proliferation. Sugar transporter-mediated redistribution of host sugar contributes to the outcomes of plant-pathogen interactions. However, few studies have focused on how sugar translocation is strategically manipulated during host colonization. To elucidate this question, the wheat sugar transport protein (STP) TaSTP3 responding
