Sharing of 4‐hydroxy‐3‐(methylthio)benzaldehyde as a pollination semiochemical among distantly related sexually deceptive orchids
Sexually deceptive orchids mimic female mating signals of their pollinators to achieve pollination. In Australia, multiple orchid genera exploit male thynnine wasps as pollinators, raising the possibility of convergent evolution of flora...

Divergent adaptive strategies of different biological soil crusts to seasonal environmental fluctuations in a temperate desert
Pronounced seasonal fluctuations in Central Asian temperate deserts, where annual temperature variations can exceed 80 °C, have shaped unique environmental adaptation strategies in regional vegetation. However, it remains unclear how bio...

Chemical and morphological diversity of foliar epicuticular waxes in economically important grain crops
Global food systems are under pressure to remain stable amidst increasing uncertainty. Plant epicuticular waxes play vital roles in mitigating a range of environmental stressors, hence understanding their diversity can inform practices t...

Effects of crossing distance on components of fitness in two rare rock plants
To alleviate negative effects of genetic drift on rare plants, it has been suggested to artificially increase gene flow between isolated populations and create new populations by mixing different provenances to maximize genetic variation...

Water–carbon coordination in Taxodium distichum but not T. ascendens under prolonged off‐season submergence in the Three Gorges Reservoir riparian zone
Prolonged winter submergence induced by reservoir impoundment poses severe physiological challenges to riparian trees, yet post‐submergence recovery dynamics remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated hydraulic function, xy...

Floral intra‐individual variation differs between morphs and is linked to pollen deposition in self‐incompatible distylous plants
Flowers are expected to exhibit lower trait variability than vegetative traits, thereby enhancing precise pollination and reproductive success, especially in self‐incompatible species that rely on cross‐pollination. This is particularly ...

A dual pollination strategy combining perfume attraction and food deception in Galeandra blanchetii E.S. Rand (Orchidaceae)
The evolutionary origin of the perfume flower syndrome remains unclear. Orchids of the subtribe Catasetinae help elucidate the evolution of this syndrome, but knowledge gaps regarding the pollination biology of Galeandra hinder a full un...

Mechanism of cork spot formation: insights from integrated mineral, transcriptomic, metabolomic and hormone analyses
Pear cork spot disorder severely impairs pear fruit quality and yield, resulting in substantial economic losses for producers. However, the causes and underlying mechanisms of pear cork spot disorder remain unclear. In this study, a comp...

Lipidomics of orchid seeds: from development to storage
Orchid seeds primarily contain lipid reserves, yet details of their deposition, in quantity and quality, remain unknown. Deposition begins as carbohydrates, which are eventually converted into fatty acids during seed development. This re...

Unveiling historical connections between island and continental floras: Phylogeographic evidence from Macaronesian bryophytes
Since the traditional perception of islands as sinks of continental biodiversity, the relationships between island and mainland floras have been controversial. In particular, the larger carrying capacity and connectivity of islands durin...
