The increasing intensity, frequency, and duration of drought pose a threat to the survival some tree species worldwide, directly damaging carbon sequestration capacity forest ecosystems. Understanding response mechanisms trees stress is particularly important. In this study, regulatory network in Betula platyphylla (birch) was established by observing changes root transcriptome at different time points (0, 3, 6, 24, 48, 72 h), potential drought-resistant WRKY53 transcription factor identified. overexpression BpWRKY53 (OE-BpWRKY53) birch enhanced tolerance. Yeast one hybrid (Y1H), electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), chromatin immunoprecipitation-PCR (ChIP-PCR), dual-luciferase (dual-LUC) assays confirmed that positively activated BpCHS3 BpCHSy expression binding W-box their promoter, consequently flavonoid content birch. Exogenous application flavonoids enhances tolerance BpMAPK3-mediated phosphorylation Ser201 its ability regulate BpCHSy. Collectively, these results provide insights into mechanism underlying drought-induced biosynthesis through transcriptional regulation mediated BpWRKY53.

Forest trees adopt effective strategies to optimize nitrogen (N) use through internal N recycling. In the context of more recurrent environmental stresses due climate change, question remains whether increased frequency drought or defoliation threatens this recycling strategy. We submitted 8-year-old beech 2 years either severe (Dro) manual (Def) create a state starvation. At end second year before leaf senescence, we labeled foliage Dro and Def trees, as well that control (Co) with 15N-urea. Leaf resorption, winter tree storage (total N, 15N, amino acids, soluble proteins) remobilization in spring were evaluated for three treatments. Defoliation did not significantly impact foliar resorption concentrations organs winter. Total amounts remained close those Co tree, but was stored branches than trunk roots. amount drastically reduced (-55%), especially at level, protein fine roots compared trees. During spring, 15N mobilized from trunk, twigs both support growth. It only provided twig thus resulting extremely amounts. Our results suggest stress-induced changes occur metabolism varying severity depending on constraints: within-tree transport strategy changed response defoliation, whereas soil water deficit induced drastic reduction all organs. Consequently, dysfunction could be involved drought-induced mortality under future climate.

Abstract Mistletoes are xylem-tapping hemiparasites that rely on their hosts for water and nutrient uptake. Thus, they impair tree performance in the face of environmental stress via altering carbon relations nutritional status trees. To improve our understanding physiological responses to mistletoe ongoing climate change, we investigated radial growth, stable oxygen isotopic signals, elemental composition rings silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) forests infested with Viscum album L. We compared temporal series (1990–2020) basal area increment (BAI), intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE), isotope (δ18O), concentrations stoichiometric ratios between non-infested (NI) severely (SI) trees from populations located close xeric distribution limit species north-eastern Spain. The SI showed historically higher but BAI trend was negative more than three decades before 2020 growth rates became significantly lower those NI by mid-2010s. Mistletoe infestation related an enhanced sensitivity vapour pressure deficit (atmospheric drought). less pronounced iWUE increases (fir) values (pine) tree-ring δ18O may be result several superimposed effects operating simultaneously, including leaf-level evaporative enrichment, source anatomical phenological differences. observed a deterioration potassium (K) nutrition wood both trees, along accumulation manganese (Mn). suggest such patterns driven indirect effect mistletoe-induced drought stress, particularly pine. combined analyses different indicators imprinted provided evidence progressive onset carbon, imbalances mistletoe-infested conifers inhabiting seasonally dry regions.
