Mature leaf area (LA) is a showcase of diversity – varying enormously within and across species, and associated with the productivity and distribution of plants and ecosystems. Yet, it remains unclear how developmental processes determine variation in LA.
We introduce a mathematical framework pinpointing the origin of variation in LA by quantifying six epidermal ‘developmental traits’: initial mean cell size and number (approximating values within the leaf primordium), and the maximum relative rates and durations of cell proliferation and expansion until leaf maturity. We analyzed a novel database of developmental trajectories of LA and epidermal anatomy, representing 12 eudicotyledonous species and 52 Arabidopsis experiments.
Within and across species, mean primordium cell number and maximum relative cell proliferation rate were the strongest developmental determinants of LA. Trade-offs between developmental traits, consistent with evolutionary and metabolic scaling theory, strongly constrain LA variation. These include trade-offs between primordium cell number vs cell proliferation, primordium mean cell size vs cell expansion, and the durations vs maximum relative rates of cell proliferation and expansion. Mutant and wild-type comparisons showed these trade-offs have a genetic basis in Arabidopsis.
Analyses of developmental traits underlying LA and its diversification highlight mechanisms for leaf evolution, and opportunities for breeding trait shifts.

Strigolactones positively regulate cold tolerance by activating HY5-dependent autophagy in tomato. In the wild-type, cold stress-induced strigolactone biosynthesis increased the protein level of HY5, which directly bound to and activated the promoter of *ATG18a* to increase autophagy, thereby facilitating cold-induced protein aggregation and degradation to enhance cold tolerance in tomato. In the *hy5* mutant, the expression levels of *ATG18a* and the formation of autophagosomes show little response to cold stress-induced strigolactone biosynthesis, and the accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins leads to impaired cold tolerance in tomato.

<h2> Introduction</h2>Plants in extremely phosphorus (P)-impoverished habitats, such as southwest Australia, possess highly efficient P-acquisition strategies. For example, most Proteaceae, one of the dominant plant families in southwest Australia, form cluster roots under low-P conditions, characterized by a large number of determinate rootlets developing from a short region of the root axis (Shane & Lambers, 2005). Cluster roots are short-lived, typically lasting c. 3 wk, and develop periodically along the root axis (Shane & Lambers, 2005). Cluster roots from most plants that express them release massive amounts of carboxylates and acid phosphatase at maturity. Acid phosphatase hydrolyzes organic P (Shane & Lambers, 2005), which is important since plants only take up inorganic phosphate at physiological pH, primarily as H2PO4− (Lambers, 2022). The carboxylates released are mainly citrate and malate, which bind to P-sorption sites on soil particles, displacing P (Roelofs et al., 2001). Shane et al. (2004a) reported that Hakea prostrata (Proteaceae) exhibits a burst of carboxylate exudation from mature cluster roots when the rootlets reach their final length at c. 12 d after emergence. Citrate and malate exudation are particularly dominant. The release of protons (H+) provides the driving force for carboxylate release and act as counterions to balance the negative charge of the released carboxylates, thereby acidifying the rhizosphere (Shane & Lambers, 2005; Lambers et al., 2018).Aluminum (Al) released from soil minerals into the soil solution under acidic conditions is mainly in the form Al(H2O)63+ (referred to hereafter as Al3+), although there are also mononuclear hydrolysis products such as Al(OH)2+, Al(OH)2+, Al(OH)3, and Al(OH)4− in the soil, depending on soil pH (Rengel, 2023). Trivalent Al3+ is toxic, making it a significant factor limiting plant productivity in acid soils (Kochian et al., 2004). While P sorption due to Al minerals is predominant at pH 5–6, the solubility of Al increases as the pH decreases and P sorption shifts to Fe minerals (Lindsay, 1979). Aluminum toxicity is particularly pronounced below pH 5 (Weber & Peuker, 2020). Aluminum ions can be detoxified through chelation by carboxylates such as malate and citrate, which plants, particularly Proteaceae, exude from their roots (Álvarez-Fernández et al., 2014). Thus, carboxylate exudation contributes to both P mobilization and Al detoxification (Delhaize et al., 1993; Lambers et al., 2018), which emphasizes the importance

Trade-off between spring phenological sensitivities to temperature and precipitation across species and space in alpine grasslands over the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

Elucidating climatic drivers of spring phenology in alpine grasslands is critical. However, current statistical estimates of spring phenological sensitivities to temperature and precipitation (β_T and β_P) might be biased and their variability across sites and species are not fully explained.
We benchmarked species-level β_T and β_P statistically inferred from historical records with observations from a field manipulative experiment. We then analyzed landscape scale β_T and β_P estimated from the best statistical approach in the benchmark analysis across 57 alpine grassland sites in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau.
Compared with manipulative experiment results, process-agnostic regression-based approaches underestimate β_T by 2.36–3.87 d °C⁻¹ (54–88%) while process-based phenology model fitting predicts comparable β_T and β_P. Process-based estimates of β_T and β_P are negatively correlated across species (R = −0.94, P < 0.01) and across sites (R = −0.45, P < 0.01). β_T is positively correlated with mean annual temperature, and β_P is negatively correlated with elevation at the regional scale.
Using process-based model fitting can better estimate spring phenological sensitivities to climate. The trade-off between β_T and β_P contributes to species-level and site-level variabilities in phenological sensitivities in alpine grasslands, which needs to be incorporated in predicting future phenological changes.

<h2> Introduction</h2>The stable H isotope ratio (δ2H) in plant-derived biomarkers (e.g. n-alkanes, tree-ring cellulose) has proven value, and profound potential, for insights into paleoenvironmental reconstructions and plant stress response (Dawson et al., 2004; Kahmen et al., 2013; Lehmann et al., 2024a). A key barrier that limits their reliability and implementation is that their H isotope composition can be affected by multiple isotope fractionating (Zhu et al., 2020; Holloway-Phillips et al., 2022; Baan et al., 2023a) and nonfractionating (i.e., mixing; Liu et al., 2021) processes. This can interfere with meaningful environmental or physiological insights from δ2H values in plant bioindicators (Baan et al., 2023b). Undoubtedly, they will benefit from a thorough examination of how the δ2H of plant compounds correlates with environmental and physiological signals under natural conditions.<h3> Background</h3>n-Alkanes with chain lengths of 25–35 carbons are straight-chained hydrocarbons found in leaf epicuticular waxes, which can be key contributors to the δ2H of n-alkanes (δ2Halkane, Table 1) in soils, used to interpret past climate (Dawson et al., 2004; Schefuß et al., 2005; Thomas et al., 2021). Overall, δ2Halkane acts as an indicator of δ2H in precipitation (δ2Hprecip), modified by leaf evaporative enrichment, local meteorological factors (i.e. evapotranspiration (ET) and relative humidity (RH)) and source water (Sachse et al., 2006), which is further modified by biochemical isotope fractionation (Newberry et al., 2015; Baan et al., 2023a,b). δ2Halkane in leaves can be related to δ2H in leaf water (δ2Hl-water; Freimuth et al., 2017; Zhu et al., 2020; Lehmann et al., 2024b), though not necessarily (McInerney et al., 2011), and evidence from seasonal δ2Halkane variability of new needles in a natural forest shows that the δ2Hl-water signal can be obscured, potentially by changes in carbohydrate sourcing throughout the season (Newberry et al., 2015). Furthermore, the δ2Halkane in new leaf tissue can record a shift from heterotrophy to autotrophy (Tipple & Ehleringer, 2018), and if leaves are sampled before autotrophy has been fully established, then the δ2Hl-water signal may be obscured (Zhu et al., 2020).<div><header>

Predicting seed production is challenging because many plants produce highly variable crops among years (i.e. masting), but doing so can inform forest management, conservation, and our understanding of ecosystem trajectories in a changing climate. We evaluated the ability of an existing model to forecast masting in an ecologically and culturally important tree species in the southwestern United States, Pinus edulis.
Annual seed cone production was predicted using cross-validation techniques on two unique out-of-sample datasets, representing different collection methods and spatial scales (cone scars and cone counts). We then hindcasted this model into the historical past to evaluate whether seed production has declined with the onset of extreme drought conditions in western North America.
The evaluated model had fair skill, with root-mean-squared error of 6%. The model had better skill predicting the interannual variability within a site than among sites (i.e. within years). Hindcast analyses indicated recent (2000–2024) mean annual cone production was 30.6% lower than in the past century (1900–1999).
Mast forecasts are within reach, but much room remains for improvement. Forecasts may be a powerful tool to anticipate the effects of climate change on forests and woodlands.

Polyploidization is a common occurrence in the evolutionary history of flowering plants, significantly contributing to their adaptability and diversity. However, the molecular mechanisms behind these adaptive advantages are not well understood.
Through comprehensive phenotyping of diploid and tetraploid clones from Citrus and Poncirus genera, we discovered that genome doubling significantly enhances salt stress resilience. Epigenetic and transcriptomic analyses revealed that increased ethylene production in the roots of tetraploid plants was associated with hypomethylation and enhanced chromatin accessibility of the ACO1 gene. This increased ethylene production activates the transcription of reactive oxygen species scavenging genes and stress-related hormone biosynthesis genes. Consequently, tetraploid plants exhibited superior root functionality under salt stress, maintaining improved cytosolic K⁺/Na⁺ homeostasis.
To genetically validate the link between salt stress resilience and ACO1 expression, we generated overexpression and knockout lines, confirming the central role of ACO1 expression regulation following genome doubling in salt stress resilience.
Our work elucidates the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of genome doubling in stress resilience. We also highlight the importance of chromatin dynamics in fine-tuning ethylene gene expression and activating salt stress resilience pathways, offering valuable insights into plant adaptation and crop genome evolution.

In Solanum pennellii LA0716, three stylar UI (sui) factors and one pollen UI (pui) factor were shown to be involved in S-RNase-independent unilateral incompatibility (UI). However, additional pui factor(s) and the antagonistic relationships among pui and sui factors remain to be investigated.
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, functional and genetic analysis of LA0716-based crosses, and integrated multi-omics data are used to identify pui QTLs and functionally dissect pui QTLs from various types of stylar UI.
In addition to the reported pui10.1 (SpFPS2), two pui QTLs (pui6.2 and pui12.1) were identified. In LA0716 styles, the three pui loci additively attenuate stylar UI, among which pui6.2 and pui12.1 appear to antagonize the sui factor, SpHT, via independent mechanisms. Furthermore, pui12.1′s function was found to be conserved in the SC styles of Solanum habrochaites LA0407 and Solanum chmielewskii LA1028. Candidate genes linked to pui6.2 and pui12.1 are identified for further analysis.
This study reveals several mechanisms for three newly described types of stylar UI and the corresponding pui QTLs in LA0716, which advance our understanding of the complex genetic mechanisms underlying UI in the tomato clade.

Summary

Polyploidy plays a key role in genome evolution and crop improvement. The formation of bivalents rather than multivalents during meiosis of polyploids is essential to ensure meiotic stability and optimal fertility of the species. However, the mechanisms preventing multivalent recombination in polyploids remain obscure.

We studied the role of the synaptonemal complex in polyploid meiosis by mutating the transverse filament component ZYP1 in allotetraploid Brassica napus and autotetraploid Arabidopsis.

In B. napus, a mutation of all four ZYP1 copies results in multivalent pairing accompanied by pairing partner switches, nonhomologous recombination, and interlocks, leading to severe chromosome entanglement and fertility abortion. The presence of only one functional allele of ZYP1 compromises synapsis and multivalent associations occur at nonsynaptic regions. Moreover, the disruption of ZYP1 causes a complete shift from predominantly multivalent pairing to exclusively multivalent pairing in pachytene cells of synthetic autotetraploid Arabidopsis thaliana, resulting in a dramatic increase in the frequency of multivalents at metaphase I.

We conclude that the ZYP1‐mediated assembly of the synaptonemal complex facilitates the pairwise homologous pairing and recombination in both allopolyploid and autopolyploid species and plays a key role in ensuring a diploid‐like bivalent formation in polyploid meiosis.
