Plants exposed to a variety of abiotic and biotic stressors including environmental pollution
and global warming pose significant threats to biodiversity and ecosystem services. Despite …

Climate changes have unpredictable effects on ecosystems and agriculture. Plants adapt
metabolically to overcome these challenges, with plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) being …

Beyond their function as structural barriers, plant cell walls are essential elements for the
adaptation of plants to environmental conditions. Cell walls are dynamic structures whose …

Classic theory relates herbivore pressure to the ecology and evolution of plant defenses.
Here, we summarize current trends in the study of plant–herbivore interactions and how they …

Engineering plant microbiomes has the potential to improve plant health in a rapid and
sustainable way. Rapidly changing climates and relatively long timelines for plant breeding …

Shifts in the age or turnover time of non‐structural carbohydrates (NSC) may underlie
changes in tree growth under long‐term increases in drought stress associated with climate …

Biotic and abiotic environmental cues are major factors influencing plant growth and
productivity. Interactions with biotic (eg symbionts and pathogens) and abiotic (eg changes …

A major aim of ecology is to upscale attributes of individuals to understand processes at
population, community and ecosystem scales. Such attributes are typically described using …

Plant survival depends on a balance between carbon supply and demand. When carbon
supply becomes limited, plants buffer demand by using stored carbohydrates (sugar and …

Plants, as sessile organisms, deploy transcriptional dynamics for adapting to extreme growth
conditions such as cold stress. Emerging evidence suggests that chromatin architecture …
