AREB/ABF/ABI5 (ABA-responsive element-binding protein/ABRE binding factors and ABA INSENSITIVE 5) transcription factors are involved in regulating the expression of ABA (abscisic acid)-related genes and improving plant adaptability to environmental s...

The dependence of the width of annual rings of woody plants on the characteristics of the snow cover is analyzed in various natural zones of the West Siberian Plain and adjacent mountainous areas: the maximum depth and water reserve for the entire wi...

Rapid global urbanization has caused habitat degradation and fragmentation, resulting in biodiversity loss and the homogenization of urban species. Birds play a crucial role as biodiversity indicators in urban environments, providing multiple ecosyst...

Pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is one of the most severe forest diseases worldwide. PWD causes devastating disasters to Chinese pine trees, seriously threatening forestry production and the forest ecological environmen...

UAV multispectral technology is used to obtain leaf area index (LAI) and aboveground biomass (AGB) information on Cinnamomum camphora (C. camphora) and to diagnose the growth condition of Cinnamomum camphora dwarf forests in a timely and rapid manner...

NaCl stress adversely affects plant growth. Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb (T. ramosissima), a halophyte, thrives in saline-alkali areas. Myo-inositol, a lipid-soluble compound, is crucial for stress response, but its role in mitigating NaCl damage remain...

Ecological stoichiometry is crucial in understanding nutrient dynamics and its impact on plant growth and development at various ecological scales. Among the different nutrients, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) have been widely recognized as key elem...

Variation in shade tolerance is a primary mechanism driving succession in subtropical forests. However, little attention has been given to ontogenetic variation in light tolerance of late succession tree species such as Phoebe bournei. To investigate...

Chinese chestnut is an economically and ecologically valuable tree species that is extensively cultivated in China. Leaf traits play a vital role in the photosynthetic capacity, chestnut yield, and quality, making them important breeding objectives....

Plant chloroplast (cp) gene clusters consist of genes arranged closely together on the cp genome. These genes are organized in operon structures and participate in cotranscription, typically exhibiting conservation. Broken gene clusters have been obs...
