H+ drives ultra-fast root-to-root responses to wounding

This study shows that wounded plant roots release protons that rapidly diffuse to neighboring roots, triggering a defensive growth response.

New insights into the mechanisms of plant isotope fractionation from combined analysis of intramolecular 13C and deuterium abundances in Pinus nigra tree-ring glucose

This paper analyzes intramolecular 13C and deuterium abundances in tree-ring glucose to understand isotope fractionation mechanisms and their climate responses.

Association mapping identified novel candidate loci affecting wood formation in Norway spruce

The paper identifies 51 significant SNPs from 39 candidate genes associated with wood formation traits in Norway spruce using genome-wide association mapping.
