Antecedent growth temperatures and soil water effects on heat tolerance during a heatwave and post-recovery in Pinus massoniana from two provenances
UncategorizedAbstractRising frequency and intensity of heatwaves pose a major threat to forest carbon sequestration worldwide. However, intraspecific differences in heat tolerance and the plasticity of these responses under combined warming, drought, and heatwaves remain poorly understood. We grew one-year-old seedlings…
Joint dependence of leaf minimum conductance on vapour pressure deficit and temperature
UncategorizedAbstractLeaf minimum conductance to water vapour (gmin) is a key trait that determines plant water loss and desiccation under conditions of low water availability. While gmin exhibits sensitivity to temperature in many species, the response of gmin to changes in vapour pressure deficit (VPD) – the…
Higher adaxial-to-abaxial stomatal density ratio in C3 cereals than dicots facilitates stomatal kinetics and water use efficiency
UncategorizedAbstractStomatal anatomical traits are known to influence stomatal movements and water use efficiency (WUE). However, it is unclear how strongly stomatal distribution regulates stomatal kinetics and WUE. In this study, we examined gas exchange parameters and stomatal traits in five cereal and five dicotyledonous…
Soybean Fine-Tunes Defense-Growth Trade-offs via Transcriptional Reprogramming During Beneficial P. chlororaphis Colonization
UncategorizedAbstractRhizosphere-associated plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) critically enhance plant defense and growth. Our previous study identified Pseudomonas chlororaphis IRHB3 from the soybean rhizosphere and demonstrated its efficacy in suppressing soil-borne disease and promoting plant growth.…
A PIF4-PUB9-DSK2A signaling loop integrates skotomorphogenesis and carbon starvation response in Arabidopsis
UncategorizedAbstractWhen seeds germinate under soil, the emerging seedlings undergo a period of darkness. Short-term darkness promotes skotomorphogenesis, whereas prolonged darkness leads to carbon starvation, triggering a transition from growth to autophagy-mediated survival. The molecular mechanism by which plants…
