Branch characteristics (quantity, morphology, and distribution) are critical determinants of tree growth and wood quality. However, the influence of species mixing, particularly mixing ratios, on branch development remains poorly understood. This stu...
Vegetation degradation in the alpine meadows is becoming increasingly severe under global change, with species loss frequently linked to changes in plant functional groups (PFGs). Changes in PFGs alter plant-derived carbon inputs, which significantly...
Red walnuts have been widely studied because of their strong antioxidant activity and ornamental value. However, research on the mechanism of anthocyanin biosynthesis in walnuts remains in the initial stage. The regulatory mechanism of TT2-type R2R3-...
Global kiwifruit production has been severely affected by Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), which causes kiwifruit bacterial canker. The main strategies for controlling this pathogen involve the use of copper-based compounds and antibiotics,...
RNA interference (RNAi) is a crucial antiviral defense mechanism in plants, where Argonaute (AGO) proteins play a central role. However, the function of AGO proteins in the interaction between Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) and Nicotiana benthamiana rema...
Eucalyptus urophylla is a core tree species for short-rotation industrial timber plantations in South and Southwest China. However, the dynamic correlation rules of its growth traits during the full rotation period remain unclear, and the theoretical...
Flowers are key reproductive structures for many plant species. They are essential for seed and fruit production, and their development is tightly regulated by hormonal and genetic networks. The homeodomain transcription factors HAT3 and ATHB4 are kn...
This study analyzed the microbiome of three varieties differing in genotype and technical purpose: Cristal, Riesling, and Avgustin, all exhibiting decline symptoms of unknown etiology. A total of 92 symptomatic and asymptomatic grapevines were analyz...
Understanding the physiological characteristics of hyperhydric plantlets is ultimately necessary since hyperhydricity results in financial loss for in vitro plants from a commercial perspective. Although many studies report the possible causes and sy...
Ticks and tick-borne diseases (TBDs) impose a heavy burden on South African livestock systems, particularly in resource-limited communal areas. Conventional acaricides are effective but face rising challenges of resistance, high costs, and concerns f...
