Plant carbohydrate depletion impairs water relations and spreads via ectomycorrhizal networks

Gerard Sapes et al.

Summary: The study shows that the depletion of stored NSCs influences the regulation of plant water balance independently of plant water deficit. Even without drought, NSC depletion impairs osmoregulation and turgor maintenance. Importantly, EM networks propagate NSC depletion and its negative effects on water retention from carbon-stressed to non-stressed hosts.

Primary and Secondary Metabolite Profiles of Lodgepole Pine Trees Change with Elevation, but Not with Latitude

Melanie Mullin et al.

Summary: The study revealed that elevation had a significant influence on terpenes and carbohydrates of lodgepole pine trees, while latitude had no impact. There was a positive correlation between starch and total terpenes and diterpenes in the elevation study, whereas no correlation was found in the latitude study. The results suggest that biotic and abiotic factors likely drive the patterns of primary and secondary metabolite profiles of lodgepole pine along geographical gradients.

Production of complementary defense metabolites reflects a co-evolutionary arms race between a host plant and a mutualistic bark beetle-fungal complex

Aziz Ullah et al.

Summary: Intraspecific variation in conifers has been studied in terms of defense against herbivores and pathogens, showing the influence of different compounds on insects and microbes. Research on biologically relevant defense compounds among tree populations is necessary. Variation in lodgepole pine monoterpenes was characterized in a progeny trial, revealing different effects on the mountain pine beetle and its fungal symbiont. The study highlights a co-evolutionary arms-race resulting in complementary defense metabolites among pine populations to enhance tree survival.

Seasonal variation in Norway spruce response to inoculation with bark beetle-associated bluestain fungi one year after a severe drought

Petter Ohrn et al.

Summary: In 2018, a significant number of Norway spruce trees were killed by the spruce bark beetle in Sweden, due to severe drought stress rather than the availability of defenseless storm-felled trees. The outbreak continued in 2019 and 2020, with twice as many trees killed each year as in 2018. The study aimed to quantify the seasonal variation and potential lag-effects in tree defense capacity following severe drought stress. Inoculation with a bark beetle-associated bluestain fungus showed that tree defense capacity correlated positively with cumulative precipitation levels two months before inoculation.
