In recent years, forests have been exposed to an unprecedented rise in pests and
pathogens. This, coupled with the added challenge of climate change, renders forest …

Breeding strategies for plants focus on the genetic influence on their phenotypes. However,
the phenotype is not only the outcome of the genotype or the environmental conditions …

The tree seed mycobiome has received little attention despite its potential role in forest
regeneration and health. The aim of the present study was to analyze the processes sha** …

The maternal environment of a tree species can influence the development and resistance
of its offspring. Transgenerational induction of resistance is well known in plants but its …

Zagros woodlands in Iran are threatened by the decline of Persian oak (Quercus brantii)

Fungal endophytes play an important role in improving the health and productivity of native
and cultivated plant species. Despite their ecological and industrial importance, few eucalypt …

Rivers are crucial in the spread of invasive plants. Invasive plants alter their seed traits to
adapt to environmental changes and promote invasion. Studying the trait changes in …
