Climate change and globalization raise risks from crop pests
Climate change and globalization are driving a surge in threats to crops from insects and mites, researchers say. Rising temperatures are enabling pests to move further from the equator and to higher ground, while increased trade is accelerating the spread of invasive species.

Researchers have developed a method to estimate hydrologic traits for 55,000 tree species, improving climate models without requiring massive field data collection.
By analyzing evolutionary relationships, they infer missing data, enhancing Earth system models. This approach accelerates our understanding of plant-water interactions, crucial for predicting climate change impacts.

Exciting developments in biology!
Our research investigates the 24-hour, biological clock in plants, now using absolute protein quantification thanks to Uriel Urquiza’s hard work with me, Karen Halliday and Nacho Molina.
It points to some simple conclusions, some unknown regulatory mechanisms and the promise of a whole new level of understanding. 
The genetic architecture of resistance to septoria tritici blotch in French wheat cultivars
Septoria tritici blotch, caused by Zymoseptoria tritici, threatens wheat production. Researchers and breeders, studied 285 elite French wheat varieties, identifying 57 resistance QTLs and at least 11 known Stb genes. Their findings aid breeding for resistance and support the future meta-analysis.

Genetics of Alternating Sexes in Walnuts
Scientists have uncovered a genetic mechanism in walnuts and their ancestors that has remained stable for 40 million years. Male-first or female-first flowering, balanced by a single genetic locus, parallels sex determination in animals. This evolutionary trait ensures genetic diversity, with distinct pathways evolving independently in walnuts and pecans.
