A molecular rheostat of ABA signaling coordinates the trade-off between stem growth and drought adaptation

Abstract Background Plants balance vegetative growth and stress responses through antagonistic phytohormone crosstalk, notably between abscisic acid (ABA) and cytokinin. However, the genetic architecture and molecular mechanisms driving this adaptive trade-off, particularly in pe...

Lignin-reinforced phosphorus–boron synergy enabling adhesive-free bamboo biocomposites with coupled mechanical, flame-retardant, and UV-shielding performance

Abstract Replacing petroleum-derived feedstocks with renewable biomass is key to low-carbon material development, yet simultaneously achieving mechanical reinforcement, flame retardancy, water resistance, and ultraviolet (UV) shielding remains a central challenge for biocomposite...

Water Availability Modulates Leaf Functional Trait Responses of Robinia pseudoacacia L. Seedlings to Nitrogen–Phosphorus Supply

Water availability strongly influences nutrient utilization and plant adaptive strategies, yet how nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) supply interact with water conditions to regulate leaf functional traits remains insufficiently understood. In this study, Robinia pseudoacacia L. se...
