However, my real interest in plant science began only during my university undergraduate biology degree, where I got the opportunity to have a wonderful mix of outdoor and indoor plant science experiences, including performing plant transects to help monitor game reserve ecology and many cell and molecular biology-associated practicals. I thoroughly enjoyed field work, but I found molecular biology and, in particular, the pathways of C3, C4 and CAM photosynthesis and central metabolism fascinating, so I was ultimately more drawn to this area.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the final year of my undergraduate degree I did an internship at the South African Sugarcane Research Institute (SASRI). SASRI is part of the South African Sugar Association and has excellent facilities, ranging from state-of-the-art tissue culture experts that link up with their breeding programs, to well-established wet labs. It was an exciting time – after several years in university soaking up theory, I was suddenly thrust into the world of professional research! I enjoyed it, and I was then very fortunate to gain bursary support to do a Masters and a PhD while working at SASRI, where I focused on understanding the source-sink relationship in sugarcane. I really liked the paradigm of being involved in photosynthesis-related research that had both applied and fundamental aspects, and I decided that this is what I wanted to focus on as a career.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I enjoy the processes of planning and setting things up, putting them in motion and the rewarding feeling of getting them done efficiently. This could be an experiment or any general task that needs doing! Experiments can of course lead to failures, unexpected results or new questions that are confounding. But I think there's a wonderful bravery (and sometimes humility) in taking new data on board and starting the process again. Previously as a PhD student and a young postdoc, I typically used to go through this independently and rely on my mentors for advice. But when I started to collaborate more with others, particularly on interdisciplinary projects, it became about working through things together and strategizing as a team, which I find much more enjoyable. As my research lab has grown and I've taken on more managerial and mentoring roles, it's been fantastic to see how different researchers and students, all brilliant in their own way, engage with the ‘cycle of science’ and how working together can lead to new discoveries with real-world impacts that alone would take so much longer to achieve or perhaps not be achievable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For scientific role models, I am lucky – I consider all of my previous supervisors, during my PhD and three postdocs, as exceptional role models and mentors.

Amongst the most economically significant disease agents are fungal and oomycete (filamentous) pathogens. The oomycete genus &lt;i&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/i&gt; includes some of the most devastating plant pathogens (Kamoun &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;; Derevnina &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;). For example, &lt;i&gt;Phytophthora infestans&lt;/i&gt;, causing potato and tomato late blight, precipitated the Irish potato famines of the 19&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century. It remains the most damaging potato and tomato disease globally (Fry &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;; Kamoun &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;\u0000&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/i&gt; spp. secrete ‘effector’ proteins that act either outside (apoplastic effectors) or are delivered to the inside (cytoplasmic effectors) of living plant cells. Prominent amongst cytoplasmic effectors are a class containing the conserved Arg-any amino acid-Leu-Arg (RXLR) motif (Rehmany &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2005&lt;/span&gt;) located closely downstream of the signal peptide. RXLR effectors target multiple proteins and processes at diverse locations inside host cells to suppress immunity (He &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; Fabro, &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Petre &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; McLellan &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;; Wang &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;\u0000&lt;p&gt;Many filamentous pathogens, including &lt;i&gt;P. infestans&lt;/i&gt;, form haustoria, hyphal infection structures that are intimately associated with living plant cells. Haustoria are sites of cross-kingdom molecular exchange and, as such, represent key battle grounds that determine host susceptibility or resistance (Boevink &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; Bozkurt &amp; Kamoun, &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; King &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). RXLR effectors have been shown to enter plant cells following their unconventional secretion from haustoria. By contrast, although also secreted from haustoria, apoplastic &lt;i&gt;P. infestans&lt;/i&gt; effectors follow the canonical ER-to-Golgi pathway that is sensitive to the inhibitor brefeldin A (BFA) (Wang &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;). Unconventional secretion of cytoplasmic effectors and conventional secretion of apoplastic effectors has also been observed for the fungal pathogen &lt;i&gt;Magnaporthe oryzae&lt;/i&gt; (Giraldo &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;). More recently, it has been reported that &lt;i&gt;P. infestans&lt;/i&gt; RXLR effectors can be taken into plant host cells via clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) (Wang &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2023a&lt;/span&gt;). Similarly, &lt;i&gt;M. oryzae&lt;/i&gt; cytoplasmic effectors have also been observed to enter plant cells via CME (Oliveira-Garcia &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;), hinting at a potential universal strategy employed by haustoria-forming filamentous pathogens (Wang &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2023b&lt;/s","PeriodicalId":214,"journal":{"name":"New Phytologist","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142325784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Campbell","doi":"10.1111/nph.20157","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.20157","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;h2&gt; Introduction&lt;/h2&gt;\u0000&lt;p&gt;Global climate change is causing rapid changes in environmental conditions, such as increased average temperatures, more frequent extreme temperatures, and alterations of precipitation patterns (Pörtner &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). Those environmental changes have the potential to alter traits of organisms in ways that may influence species interactions. Average trait expression in a population can respond to the environment either directly or through evolutionary change. The former mechanism is phenotypic plasticity, in which the phenotype associated with a particular genotype responds directly to the environmental conditions (Bradshaw, &lt;span&gt;1965&lt;/span&gt;). In the latter mechanism of evolutionary change, the environmental change alters natural selection on the trait (Siepielski &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2009&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;; Bemmels &amp; Anderson, &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;), or on the ability of the trait to respond plastically, leading to an evolutionary change if trait variation is at least partly heritable (Gomulkiewicz &amp; Shaw, &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;; Carlson &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;\u0000&lt;p&gt;In plants, floral traits play crucial roles in interactions with animals, and like other traits may be affected by climate change. Pollinators are thought to be the main source of natural selection on floral traits (review in Harder &amp; Johnson, &lt;span&gt;2009&lt;/span&gt;), and traits can also influence interactions with natural enemies such as florivores and seed predators (Galen &amp; Cuba, &lt;span&gt;2001&lt;/span&gt;; Frey, &lt;span&gt;2004&lt;/span&gt;; Sletvold &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;). Some floral traits, such as floral size, show relatively consistent plastic responses to drought (review in Kuppler &amp; Kotowska, &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;) or other environmental changes expected under climate change. In addition to trait expression, natural selection on floral morphology can change with climatic factors (Campbell &amp; Powers, &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;). A change in selection with adverse abiotic conditions could happen in several ways. Increased resource limitations on seed production can weaken selection mediated by pollinators, as suggested for &lt;i&gt;Ipomopsis&lt;/i&gt; with earlier snowmelt (Campbell &amp; Powers, &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;). A drop in pollinator availability at a new time of flowering can strengthen pollen limitation and selection for attractive traits. Selection can shift due to changing pollinator preferences in response to plastic changes in floral traits (Dorey &amp; Schiestl, &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;) or the availability of nectar or pollen resources.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000&lt;p&gt;Along with flower size, reward production, and petal color, floral scent emissions are also intimately involved in interactions with animals (Raguso, &lt;span&gt;2008&lt;/span&gt;). Flowers often emit a complex blend of many volatile organic compounds (hereafter volatiles; Dudareva &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;., &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;), and a variety of insects not only detect these compounds but also show preferences or a","PeriodicalId":214,"journal":{"name":"New Phytologist","volume":"308 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142325822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examined the impacts of these strategies on future plant stress and productivity. Allocating leaf area to maximize carbon gain increased productivity with high CO2, but systematically increased hydraulic stress. Following an allocation strategy to avoid increased future hydraulic stress missed out on 26% of the potential future net primary productivity in some geographies. Both endmember leaf area allocation strategies resulted in leaf area decreases under future climate scenarios, contrary to Earth system model (ESM) predictions. Leaf area acclimation to avoid increased hydraulic stress (and potentially the risk of accelerated mortality) was possible, but led to reduced carbon gain.
