A common mycorrhizal network (CMN) is formed when mycorrhizal fungal hyphae connect
the roots of multiple plants of the same or different species belowground. Recently, CMNs …

Phloem plays a central role in assimilate transport as well as in the transport of several
secondary compounds. In order to study the chemical composition of phloem sap, different …

Source-to-sink carbon (C) allocation driven by the sink strength, ie, the ability of a sink organ
to import C, plays a central role in tissue growth and biomass productivity. However …

Carbon isotope composition of tree‐ring (δ13CRing) is a commonly used proxy for
environmental change and ecophysiology. δ13CRing reconstructions are based on a solid …

The 'assimilates inhibition hypothesis' posits that accumulation of nonstructural
carbohydrates (NSCs) in leaves reduces leaf net photosynthetic rate, thus internally …

Phloem loading and sugar distribution are key steps for carbon partitioning in herbaceous
and woody species. Although the phloem loading mechanisms in herbs are well studied …

The growth of fruit trees depends on the nitrogen (N) remobilization in mature tissues and N
acquisition from the soil. However, in evergreen mature citrus (Citrus reticulata Blanco) …

Plants shape and interact continuously with their rhizospheric microbiota, which play a key
role in plant health and resilience. However, plant-associated microbial community can be …

Salinity stress, an ever-present challenge in agriculture and environmental sciences, poses
a formidable hurdle for plant growth and productivity in saline-prone regions worldwide …

Betula platyphylla Suk (birch) is an excellent short-term hardwood species with growth and
wood characteristics well suited to wood industries. To investigate the molecular mechanism …
