Drought and Herbivory Shape Growth and Chemical Traits in Black Poplar (Populus nigra)

This study examines how drought and herbivory jointly affect chemical and morphological traits in black poplar trees, showing significant shifts in amino acids and phytohormones but stability in salicinoids.

Common, species-specific, and accession-specific responses of foliar phytohormones and morphological traits to drought and herbivory

This study examines common and species-specific responses of phytohormones and morphological traits to drought and herbivory in three plant species, revealing shared and unique regulatory pathways.

Geographic and Climatic Origins Shape the Leaf Metabolome of Populus trichocarpa

This study shows that leaf metabolomes of Populus trichocarpa retain geographic and climatic origin signatures under common-garden conditions, with coordinated flavonoid and isoprenoid variation.

Aphid infestation induces plant-sex-specific changes in floral chemistry and pollinator behaviour in Silene latifolia

This study shows aphid infestation alters floral traits and pollinator behavior differently in male and female Silene latifolia plants, reducing female attractiveness more than male.

Selection strengthens the relationship between plant diversity and the metabolic profile of Plantago lanceolata

This study shows that plant diversity affects the metabolome of Plantago lanceolata through both plastic and adaptive responses, with soil history enhancing these effects.

Plant diversity shapes plant volatile emission differently at the species and community level

The paper examines how plant diversity affects volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions at species and community levels using experimental plant communities.
