Sympatric European white oaks species display contrasting epigenetic response to soil water availability

Abstract In the context of climate change plants have to cope with adverse conditions, among which water scarcity is a major threat for their survival. They have developed diverse regulatory processes to face drought that may differ depending on their ecological niche. The two sy...

SIESTR: a novel method to analyze Species’ Introductions Effects in Space and Time on Range dynamics

Rapidly shifting climates will lead to species range shifts over the next century. Artificially introducing species in new locations to enhance species migration, termed assisted migration (AM), has been suggested as one possible strategy to avoid species extinction. While curren...

Proprioception drives tension wood formation for autotropic straightening and postural control in trees

Postural control in plant shoots relies on gravi- and photo- tropisms, driven by angular sensing and actuated by differential growth or reaction wood formation (tension wood in dicots). Control theory and kinematical models predict that posture stabilization additionally requires...
