Under the background of global climate change, screening urban greening plants with strong drought tolerance is an important way to deal with the shortage of groundwater resources and urban greening construction in the future. In this paper, Camellia japonica and Rhododendron hybridum were used as...

Yunnan Province (China) is one of the most bamboo-rich regions in the world. In this study, a saprophytic fungus was collected from dead bamboo in Yunnan Province. Based on molecular phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU, SSU, and tef1-α sequence data, our collections grouped within Linocarpon and...

The dependence of inter-annual ecosystem evapotranspiration (ET) partitioning on vegetation dynamics is crucial for understanding the long term coupling relationship between the water and carbon cycles. The objective of this study was to determine the spatial variation of ET partitioning (T/ET) and ...

Populus ussuriensis Kom. is one of the most important tree species for forest renewal in the eastern mountainous areas of Northeast China due to its fast growth, high yield, and significant commercial and ecological value. The selection of optimal reference genes for the normalization of qRT-PCR...

A species of Hypoxylon, found on dead wood in China, differs from H. hypomiltum and H. samuelsii in having highly carbonaceous stromata, asci with a long stipe and wider ascospores. Based on morphology and molecular phylogeny, it is described as a new species, H. wujiangensis sp. nov. A detailed...

Abies Mill. represents one of the most diverse lineages in Pinaceae with ca. 50 species. Recent phylogenetic studies of Abies using regions of the nuclear and plastid genomes generally support recent classifications. However, we have previously shown that in several cases sectional memberships...

Objective: To provide theoretical basis for the efficient cultivation of C. lanceolate, the effects of graphene on the growth, root morphology and nitrogen uptake and utilization of Cunninghamia lanceolata were investigated in this study. Method: A pot experiment with four concentrations of...

Oaks (Quercus L.) are ideal models to assess patterns of plant diversity. We integrated the sequence data of five chloroplast and two nuclear loci from 50 Chinese oaks to explore the phylogenetic framework, evolution and diversification patterns of the Chinese oak's lineage. The framework phylogeny ...

Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis (Carriere) J. Houzeau) is distributed widely over the subtropical regions of China, but it encounters a chronic summer reduced rainfall and elevated temperatures induced by subtropical high pressure. In some flash droughts characterized by rapid development speed...

Objective: In this sutdy, we investigated the photosynthetic characteristic responses of Quercus variabilis and Quercus aliena var. acuteserrata seedlings to long-term high temperature stress in summer, as well as the combination between high-temperature levels and internal mechanism of...
