Open DOI
Grass silica short cell phytoliths in Pyrenean subalpine grasslands: taxonomy and palaeoecological relevance
Background and Aims: Subalpine grasslands of the Central Pyrenees (1600–2300 m a.s.l.) are semi-natural ecosystems shaped by millennia of pastoral land use. Reconstructing their long-term dynamics requires proxies with higher taxonomic r...

Advances in Cerrado and tropical grassland plant biology – diversity, functioning, resilience and conservation
Background: Tropical grasslands and savannas are ancient, highly diverse ecosystems that support important ecological processes, ecosystem services and human livelihoods, yet they are increasingly threatened by agricultural expansion, al...

Contrasting effects of native soil microbiomes on direct and indirect herbivore resistance in a dominant shrub species
Background and Aims: The soil microbiome is known to modulate plant resistance to insect herbivores. Research on this topic has traditionally focused on bottom-up effects of plants on insects (direct resistance). However, how soil microb...

Background/Objectives: Elymus sensu lato (Poaceae) is arguably the largest and most complex genus in the tribe Triticeae. It includes hybrids and polyploids based on x=7 chromosomes, all including the St genome, forming a valuable genepo...

Metabolic and signalling processes in plant cell wall integrity maintenance
Background: Our understanding of plant cell walls has profoundly changed in recent decades. Originally seen as sturdy recalcitrant structures supporting plant growth, development, and interactions with the environment, we now appreciate ...

A review of the exine structure of extant and fossil gnetophytes and possibly related groups
Background: Gnetophytes are a key group, possessing characters of gymnosperms and angiosperms. In spite of numerous studies, their exact relationship with other plant groups is still uncertain. Extant members of the group are isolated re...

Dispersal ability of seed morphs predicts germination sensitivity to competition cues in a heterocarpic plant
Background and Aims: Seed germination is often regulated by cues that indicate future competitive conditions, and such cues have been shown to either accelerate or suspend germination across species. However, much less is known about how...

Open DOI
Temperature-dependent xyloglucan physicochemical changes are associated with XTH-mediated reserve mobilization in Hymenaea courbaril
Background and Aims: Development of Hymenaea courbaril seedlings requires mobilization of xyloglucan (XyG), mediated by four enzymes whose coordinated action reduces cotyledon biomass. Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase (XTH) can ...

When sporangia became seeds: The innovation that rewrote land plant evolution
Background and aims: The origin of the seed represents one of the most transformative evolutionary innovations in land plants, underpinning the ecological success of spermatophytes and fundamentally reshaping terrestrial ecosystems. Rath...

Phylogeographic analyses for Kalloora ( Podocarpus drouynianus ) conservation management in the Southwest Australian Floristic Region
Background and Aims: In southwestern Australia, plants have persisted through significant climate shifts in ancient landscapes, and the evolutionary responses are apparent in their genetic signature. Kalloora (Podocarpus drouynianus) bel...
