Interspecific crosses play an important role in gene introgression, plant improvement and speciation. However, poor fertility of F₁ plants was commonly found, which hampered backcrossing and ideal progeny generation. To explore useful materials for further breeding programs, sterile hybrids (DD1,...

Birds and bats are important insect predators. Herbivorous insects have negative effects on tree growth, and thus the health of trees may benefit from foraging by vertebrate insectivores on herbivorous insects. An exclosure experiment was used to examine the top-down effects of birds and bats on...

Relationships between microhabitats and vegetation structure were examined in a 1-ha plot established in an evergreen broadleaf forest at Mt. Peitungyen, central Taiwan. Parameters of various growth types (trees, shrubs, and herbs) were recorded. The elevation, irradiance, soil organic matter, soil ...

The results of studies carried out in 48-50-year-old geographical crops of larch in the Ufa forestry district of the Republic of Bashkortostan are presented in the article. The average capacity for survival of the object is 25%. The highest capacity for survival (30-50%) and successful growth have...

Aim: To lay a foundation for exploring the mechanism of digestive physiology of Hyphantria cunea (Drury) in host transformation. Methods: We first cloned a serine protease gene by screening the H. cunea cDNA library. We then analyzed the expression patterns of this gene in different developmental...

[Objective] Phanerophyte tissue culture system of Dendrobium Enobi Purple 'Splashi' was established, in order to provide referential basis for solving the problem of flower color character segregation in progeny plant caused by aseptic seeding of D. Enobi Purple 'Splashi'. [Method] The lateral bud, ...

[Objective] To provide useful basis for cultivation of Dalbergia cochinchinensis Pierre ex Laness in the south subtropical region of China, seed vigour research of D. cochinchinensis and introduction experiment were carried out. [Method] Seeds from 10 provenances and 25 families of Thailand and...

[Objective] The effects of volatile substances in pine wood on the olfactory behavior of Coptotermes formosanus were explored to provide reference for the research and development of highly effective attractants. [Method] Extraction of volatile components from pine wood was conducted by Soxhlet...

Objective: Dendrocalamus latiflorus were used to study the effects of different dosages of super absorbent polymers (SAP) on physiology indexes of bamboo leaves in summer, which provided a scientific basis for the application of SAP in coastal protection bamboo forest management. Method: 2-year-old ...

Objective: Arthropod community composition structure and the diversity in the system of understory planted Panax notoginseng in Pinus kesiya var. langbianensis forest were studied to provide reference for protection and utilization of natural enemy in P. kesiya forest and comprehensive control of ...
