New Phytol
. 2023 Jul;
240(2):542-554.
PMID: 37491863
Phenotypic plasticity is a main mechanism for sessile organisms to cope with changing environments. Plasticity is genetically based and can evolve under natural selection so that populations within a species...

. 2022 Nov;
15(11):1945-1962.
PMID: 36426125
Phenotypic plasticity is a main mechanism for organisms to cope with changing environments and broaden their ecological range. Plasticity is genetically based and can evolve under natural selection, such that...

Sierra-de-Grado R, Pando V, Voltas J, Zas R, Majada J, Climent J
J Exp Bot
. 2021 Dec;
73(4):1222-1235.
PMID: 34865003
Although the straightening capacity of the stem is key for light capture and mechanical stability in forest trees, little is known about its adaptive implications. Assuming that stem straightening is...

Suarez-Vidal E, Sampedro L, Climent J, Voltas J, Sin E, Notivol E, et al.
Am J Bot
. 2021 Jan;
108(1):102-112.
PMID: 33512710
Premise: Persistence of tree populations in the face of global change relies on their capacity to respond to biotic and abiotic stressors through plastic or adaptive changes. Genetic adaptation will...

Castano C, Camarero J, Zas R, Sampedro L, Bonet J, Alday J, et al.
Tree Physiol
. 2020 Aug;
40(12):1712-1725.
PMID: 32785638
Insect outbreaks of increasing frequency and severity in forests are predicted due to climate change. Insect herbivory is known to promote physiological changes in forest trees. However, little is known...

Vazquez-Gonzalez C, Sampedro L, Rozas V, Zas R
Sci Rep
. 2020 Jul;
10(1):10584.
PMID: 32601428
Intraspecific variation in plant defences is expected to be the result of adaptive and plastic responses to environmental conditions, where trade-offs between growth and defences are thought to play a...

Vazquez-Gonzalez C, Zas R, Erbilgin N, Ferrenberg S, Rozas V, Sampedro L
Tree Physiol
. 2020 Jun;
40(10):1313-1326.
PMID: 32478382
Conifers have evolved different chemical and anatomical defences against a wide range of antagonists. Resin ducts produce, store and translocate oleoresin, a complex terpenoid mixture that acts as both a...

Patsiou T, Shestakova T, Klein T, di Matteo G, Sbay H, Chambel M, et al.
New Phytol
. 2020 May;
228(2):525-540.
PMID: 32402106
Many ecologically important forest trees from dry areas have been insufficiently investigated for their ability to adapt to the challenges posed by climate change, which hampers the implementation of mitigation...

Lopez-Goldar X, Lundborg L, Borg-Karlson A, Zas R, Sampedro L
PLoS One
. 2020 May;
15(5):e0232692.
PMID: 32357193
Inducibility of defences in response to biotic stimuli is considered an important trait in plant resistance. In conifers, previous research has mostly focused on the inducibility of the volatile fraction...

Front Plant Sci
. 2020 Jan;

PMID: 31921257
Resin ducts are important anatomical defensive traits related to biotic resistance in conifers. Previous studies have reported intraspecific genetic variation in resin duct characteristics. However, little is currently known about...
