Hypernodulating soybean mutant line nod4 lacking ‘Autoregulation of Nodulation’ has limited root-to-shoot water transport capacity

Although hypernodulating phenotype mutants of legumes, such as soybean, possess a high leaf N content, the large number of root nodules decreases carbohydrate availability for plant

Does evidence of saltwater exposure explain recent changes in the tree communities of North Carolina’s Coastal Plain?

Coastal plant communities globally are highly vulnerable to future sea-level rise and storm damage, but the extent to which these habitats are affected by the

Modelling tiller growth and mortality as a sink-driven process using Ecomeristem

Plant modelling can efficiently support ideotype conception, particularly in multi-criteria selection contexts. This is the case for biomass sorghum, implying the need to consider traits

FSPM-based investigation of plant interactions in complex wheat canopies

Functional–structural plant models (FSPMs) explicitly describe individual plant architecture, making this approach suitable for unravelling plant–plant interactions in complex canopies. Barillot et al. developed

Sink-source imbalance and down-regulation of photosynthesis

Sink-source imbalance could cause accumulation of total non-structural carbohydrates (TNC) and down-regulation of photosynthesis. Sugiura et al. investigate how sink-source imbalance causes

Geographical variation in damage tolerance: the case of oaks and weevils

The assertion that plants at lower latitudes should be better defended against enemies has a long historical basis but is still controversial. In the current study,

Heteroblasty adjusts plants to changing environments post fire

Heteroblastic species show an abrupt change in morphology at a fixed ontogenetic stage, and are relatively frequent in Mediterranean type ecosystems with regular fires. Using the

Nitrate nutrition improves energy efficiency under hypoxic stress

Plants take up and assimilate nitrogen (N) in the form of nitrate (NO3–) or ammonium (NH4+), or a combination of both. When oxygen availability is reduced
