A root injury sends a pressure wave through the root system at about 75 millimeters per second, triggering defense signals in neighboring roots. doi.org/hcknjb

Plant root injuries unleash pressure waves that travel long distances
When plant roots are injured—by insects, for example—the pressure inside the root drops, and a pressure wave spreads rapidly throughout the root system.

High-resolution microCT reveals relationships between stomata and interior leaf anatomy in sorghum
Abstract. Stomata are pores in the leaf epidermis that regulate the trade-off between CO2 uptake for photosynthesis and water vapor loss to the atmosphere.

Nobody: what is a tree, anyway? Us:  authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... (Review out today, in which we ask whether xylem disconnection arising early in wood anatomy is convergent with disconnection seen across tall plants and whether tree evolution requires disconnection given periodic drought.)
Xylem architecture disconnection in cross sections of trunks of various tree-like plants, including trees, palms, tree-ferns, cladoxylopsids.

📢 NEW ISSUE ALERT 📢 🌷✨ JXB Issue 18 of 2025 is out now ✨🌷 On the cover: A beautiful watercolour painting of a Tulip Poplar sapling by @kateplantphys.bsky.social - see Johnson et al. this issue! 🔗👉 Read the full issue now: academic.oup.com/jxb... #PlantScience 🧪 @sebiology.bsky.social
The cover of Vol 76 | Issue 18 | 2025 of the Journal of Experimental Botany. Light green banners border the top and bottom of the page and in the centre is an image of a watercolour painting. "Sapling of North American tree species and common city tree Liriodendron tulipifera (Tulip Poplar). This watercolour painting depicts the young potted trees of this species used in Johnson et al., pp. 5573–5587. Trees were placed in freezers while their leaves were imaged to track ice formation and spread. This research revealed that the pattern of ice spread in these leaves is governed by vein anatomy and provided the first visualisation of freeze-induced xylem embolism (air bubble formation) in leaf veins. (Image credit: Kate Johnson.)"

The cover of @jxbotany.bsky.social is my painting of Tulip Poplar, a North-American native & global street tree that was the focus of our paper visualising freezing spread & freeze-thaw embolism in leaves! A lovely way to finish this multi-year mutli-country project 🔗below @brodersenlab.bsky.social

So fun to be featured on this week’s @naturepodcast.bsky.social talking about the tree microbiome and could not be more thrilled to be following a story on rubber ducks.

Congrats to @jgewirtzman.bsky.social on his new paper exploring the microbiome of trees now online in Nature (www.nature.com/articles/s41...). Amazing effort to pull all this data together that highlights the distinct microbial communities in the sapwood and heartwood of different species.

Microbiome analyses of living trees show that a single tree can host approximately one trillion bacteria, with microbial communities distinctly partitioned between heartwood and sapwood and with minim...

Our new paper describing a novel method for measuring plant cell turgor is now online at PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... We demonstrate how nucleating microbubbles inside plant cells and studying their growth and dissolution dynamics allows us to estimate turgor pressure.
