A foundational goal of trait‐based ecology, including trait‐based restoration, is to link
specific traits to community assembly, biodiversity, and ecosystem function. Despite a …

A growing understanding is emerging of the roles of peptide hormones in local and long-
distance signalling that coordinates plant growth and development as well as responses to …

Crop performance and yield are the results of genotypic expression as modulated by
continuous interaction with the environment. Among the environmental aspects, drought and …

Recent studies have highlighted the importance of understanding ecohydrological drought
feedbacks to secure water resources under a changing climate and increasing …

Rhizosphere microbiomes contribute considerably to host‐plant fitness; however, limited
information is available on their responses to abiotic stresses. Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana …

Annual ryegrass is a widely cultivated forage grass with rapid growth and high productivity.
However, drought is one of the abiotic stresses affecting ryegrass growth and quality. In this …

Aims Although leaf and root traits may change considerably throughout plant development,
ontogenetic variation is rarely considered in trait-based ecology. Studies focused on how …

Early root traits and allometrics of wheat are important for competition and use of resources.
They are under-utilized in research and un-explored in many ancient wheats. This is …

Roots are key organs for water and nutrient acquisition and transport. Therefore, root
phenes that are associated with adaptation to low phosphorus (P) environments could …

Adverse weather conditions, particularly freezing or drought, are often associated with poor
seedling establishment following restoration seeding in drylands like the Great Basin …
