The global climate system has been become increasingly unstable, and the frequency of extreme high temperature weather obviously increased, which had a serious impact on the growth and development of jujube trees. In this study, two different cultivars of high temperature tolerance 'Junzao' and...

Pressure-volume (P-V) curves were measured on shoots of Larix gmelinii and leaves of Fraxinus mandshurica in northeast China to analyze the effects of nonrehydrated, rehydrated, and extended rehydrated treatments on water relations parameters. For L. gmelinii, increasing rehydration time...

Objective: To determine the difference of phenotypic characteristics and diurnal variation of photosynthesis between Saimisu 1 and its budding Saimisu 2 under the same cultivation and management conditions in the hope of providing reference basis for bud breeding. Method: In this experiment, the...

Magnoliaceae plants are industrial tree species with high ornamental and medicinal value. We published six complete chloroplast genomes of Magnoliaceae by using Illumina sequencing. These showed a typical quadripartite structure of angiosperm and were 159,901-160,008 bp in size. A total of 324...

Male sterility caused by stamen petalody is a key factor for a low fruit set rate and a low yield of Camellia oleifera but can serve as a useful genetic tool because it eliminates the need for artificial emasculation. However, its molecular regulation mechanism still remains unclear. In this study, ...

Extreme drought events are becoming frequent globally, resulting in widespread plant mortality and forest dieback. Although savanna vegetation cover ~20% of the earth's land area, their responses to extreme drought have been less studied than that of forests. Herein, we quantified branch dieback,...

Many species of the genus Camellia are native to China, and several species such as C. japonica have been cultivated as garden plants for over 1,000 years. Virus-like symptoms have been recorded for years. In this study, C. japonica plants with various leaf symptoms were observed in Jiangxi and...

Background and aims: Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have important roles in improving plant growth and alleviating stress induced damage under drought stress conditions. The aims of this study are: (1) to isolate and identify drought-tolerant PGPR from rhizosphere soil of jujube, a...

Studying the effects of regulated deficit irrigation on the photosynthetic characteristics and yield of walnut leaves under drip irrigation and finding the optimal growth period of regulated deficit in walnut trees are of scientific guiding significance for the development of walnut industry. The...

Two new prenylated xanthones, mangoxanthones A-B (1-2), together with four known compounds 3-6, were isolated from the ethanol extract of the pericarp of Garcinia mangostana. The structures of these compounds have been elucidated based on spectroscopic analysis. The analysis results of chiral HPLC...
