Current crop yield of the best ideotypes is stagnating and threatened by climate change. In
this scenario, understanding wild plant adaptations in extreme ecosystems offers an …

Plant–plant positive interactions are key drivers of community structure. Yet, the underlying
molecular mechanisms of facilitation processes remain unexplored. We investigated the …

Plants modulate their rhizochemistry, which affects soil bacterial communities and,
ultimately, plant performance. Although our understanding of rhizochemistry is growing …

Extreme environments and plants thriving in them, known as extremophytes, offer promising
platforms for studying the diverse adaptive mechanisms that have evolved in plants …

Although forest ecosystems play an essential role in climate stabilization, current climatic
shifts might cause striking changes in their biological productivity, which, in turn, affects the …

Deschampsia antarctica is one of the only two native vascular plants in Antarctica, mostly
located in the ice-free areas of the Peninsula's coast and adjacent islands. This region is …

Strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo) is a small resilient species with a circum-Mediterranean
distribution, high ecological relevance in southern European forests and with several …

The best ideotypes are under mounting pressure due to increased aridity. Understanding
the conserved molecular mechanisms that evolve in wild plants adapted to harsh …

Forest ecosystems play an essential role in climate stabilization, and the study of influence
of climate change on their biomass and carbon depositing is of paramount importance. The …

One of the most outstanding plant species during the blooming of the Atacama Desert is the
annual plant Cistanthe longiscapa. This plant can perform CAM photosynthesis, but the …
