B‐ BOX DOMAIN PROTEIN 19 shapes tea quality by modulating the ratio of catechins and theanine and confers cold tolerance in tea plants
Summary: Early spring cold spells threaten tea plant ( Camellia sinensis ) yield and disrupt the catechins‐to‐theanine ratio that determines the desirable balance of umami and astringency taste of tea. However, the molecular mechanism co...

Tropical leaf phenology as a thermoregulation trait: how changes in crown structure modulate thermal dynamics for two dominant Hawaiian trees
Summary: Canopy and leaf temperatures often diverge from air temperature, influencing photosynthesis, water loss, and heat stress. While leaf traits are known to affect heat exchange, how changes in crown structure interact with environm...

Comparative genomics of dark septate endophytes: shedding light on the enigmatic lifestyle and biology of DSEs
Summary: Dark septate endophytes (DSE) are widespread root‐colonising fungi with poorly understood lifestyle and ecological functions. We investigated their genomic traits, sexual reproduction signatures, carbohydrate‐active enzyme (CAZy...

A single amino‐acid switch reprograms ROP6 signaling to drive functional evolution in plants
Summary: Rho‐related GTPases of plants (ROPs) are evolutionarily conserved molecular switches that typically maintain PIN‐formed proteins at the plasma membrane (PM), yet their functional divergence remains poorly understood. Here, we re...

Evolutionary shifts to gynomonoecy correlate with changes in capitulum architecture in South African Helichrysum (Asteraceae)
Summary: Gynomonoecy has evolved repeatedly in Asteraceae, suggesting selective advantages for species whose capitula combine pistillate and bisexual flowers. Theories invoking conspicuous peripheral flowers and achene heteromorphism do ...

Contrasting CH 4 flux responses to distinct drought regimes and nitrogen enrichment in a temperate steppe
Summary: Drought and nitrogen (N) deposition alter greenhouse gas fluxes, but how distinct drought scenarios interact with N enrichment to regulate the methane (CH 4 ) sink remains poorly understood. We conducted a 4‐yr field experiment ...

From topology to biological meaning: why plant family classification matters beyond systematics
Summary: Plant family names are routinely used to structure comparative analyses, trait databases, floras, conservation assessments, and teaching. Yet, these names are not neutral labels: changing family boundaries changes the units acro...

Recent plant photosynthate as a driver of ecological and evolutionary processes
Summary: Plants rapidly allocate carbon from photosynthesis belowground via root exudates and root‐associated microorganisms. Here we synthesise recent evidence of our understanding of the consequences of this ‘fast’ pathway of recent ph...

Engineering uORFs in wheat improves abiotic stress tolerance without growth penalties
Summary: Developing climate‐resilient crops is critical for ensuring global food security, yet agricultural productivity is frequently constrained by the trade‐off between stress tolerance and growth. This challenge is particularly acute...
