Engelhardia, a genus of Juglandaceae (the walnut family), is endemic to tropical and subtropical Asia. The rich Cenozoic fossil records and distinctive morphological characters of the living plants have been used to explore the evolutionary history and geographic distribution of Juglandaceae....

The BRI1 EMS SUPPRESSOR 1/BRASSINAZOLE RESISTANT 1 (BES1/BZR1) plays a vital role in plant growth and development and stress responses, but there are few studies on poplar BES1 genes. In this study, we identified 14 BES1 genes in the Populus trichocarpa genome and analyzed the expression under...

As a typical clonal plant with a unique feature of double modularity, bamboo boasts stronger phenotypic plasticity than non-clonal plants, and can better adapt to environment changes. This paper summarizes the phenotypic plasticity regulation mechanism of bamboo plants in different canopy...

To avoid xylem cavitation, plants adopt water manage behaviors from water-conserving to risk-taking to regulate stomatal conductance under drought stress, and the behaviors may shift due to sink demand. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form symbioses with plants, generate sink demand and promote...

The GRAS family transcription factors play important roles in regulating plant growth and responses to abiotic stress, which can be utilized to breed novel plants with improved abiotic stress resistance. However, the GRAS gene family has been largely unexplored for tree species, particularly for ...

Terpene trilactones (TTL) is a pharmacological ingredient in Ginkgo biloba and its content has become one of the key indices for medicinal value evaluation of ginkgo. 1-Deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR) catalyzes the first step specific for isopentenyl diphosphate production in...

To understand the adaptability and the plasticity difference of Karst endemic plants to different water conditions, taking 1-year-old Juglans regia L. f. luodianense Liu et Xu as the study material, the differences in plasticity of morphological, biomass allocation, physiological characteristics of ...

Melastomataceae has abundant morphological diversity with high economic and ornamental merit in Myrtales. The phylogenetic position of Myrtales is still contested. Here, we report the chromosome-level genome assembly of Melastoma dodecandrum in Melastomataceae. The assembled genome size is 299.81...

To understand the role of histidine acid phosphatase(HAP) secreted in the body of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, in the process of infesting hosts, the members of HAP gene family of B. xylophilus were identified from bioinformatics perspective by whole genome data of and analyzed for physicochemical...

When it comes to root and mycorrhizal associations that define resource acquisition strategy, there is a need to identify the leading dimension across root physiology, morphology, architecture and whole plant biomass allocation to better predict the plant's responses to multiple environmental...
