Polyol/Alkali System Drives In Situ Cell Wall Reconstruction for Bamboo Self-Bonding

Abstract Traditional bamboo bonding processes face challenges such as formaldehyde emissions, procedural complexity, and high costs. This study proposed a strategy for in situ reconstruction of bamboo cell walls using a polyol/alkali system to achieve bamboo bonding. First, an aq...

Root rot alters rhizosphere fungal community and suppresses soil enzyme activities in Lily

To clarify the pathogenesis of lily root rot, we compared the rhizosphere fungal community and soil enzyme activities of healthy and diseased Lilium brownii var. viridulum plants from a six-year continuous monoculture field. Urease, sucrase, and acid phosphatase activities were s...

Genome-Wide Identification of the PAL Gene Family in Idesia polycarpa and Transcriptomic Responses to Botryosphaeria dothidea Infection

Idesia polycarpa is a woody oil tree threatened by stem canker caused by Botryosphaeria dothidea, yet the organization and infection-responsive behavior of its phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) gene family remain poorly understood. Here, we identified five IpPAL genes and charact...

Evaluating the Time-Lag and Cumulative Effects of Climatic Factors on Vegetation Dynamics of Different Land-Use Types in the Circum-Tarim Basin

Monitoring vegetation dynamics in drylands and disentangling their driving mechanisms are essential for deciphering vegetation–climate feedbacks and supporting targeted ecological restoration. Taking the Circum-Tarim Basin as the study region, this study adopted the modified soil...

Microbial Community Structure Diversity of Male and Female Poplar Plants of the Same Faction and Its Influencing Factors

Phyllosphere microorganisms interact with host plants to regulate growth, promote nutrient uptake and enhance stress tolerance with host specificity, while arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi facilitate plant nutrient absorption and stress adaptation. Current poplar microbial studies mo...

The Development of Stand Growth Tables of Quercus mongolica Under Climate Change Scenarios

Numerous studies have demonstrated that climate exerts a substantial impact on forest growth. Traditional stand growth yield tables fail to take climatic factors into account, resulting in low accuracy and limited applicability. The study aimed to develop stand growth tables unde...

E3 Ubiquitin LigasePdSINA2D in Populus deltoides Positively Regulates ABA-Dependent StressTolerance through Ubiquitination of FREE1 in Poplar

Abstract Populus deltoides “Shalinyang” (PdS) displays reduced tolerance to abiotic stresses. SINA (seven in absentia) proteins, a subtype of E3 ubiquitin ligases, play crucial roles in regulating plant growth and responses to abiotic stresses. However, the characteristics and po...

Climatic Suitability of Cornus officinalis Across Paleoclimatic, Current, and Future Climates: Implications for Conservation and Climate-Informed Cultivation

Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc. is a medicinal and ornamental woody plant whose distribution and production may be increasingly affected by climate change. This study assessed its climatic suitability under paleoclimatic, current, and future conditions to provide a climatic bas...

Tissue-Resolved Metabolomic Profiling of Ten Prunus salicina × P. armeniaca Cultivars Reveals Peel–Flesh Metabolic Differences Associated with Fruit Color and Antioxidant Capacity

Prunus salicina × P. armeniaca, an interspecific hybrid of Chinese plum and apricot, shows substantial variation in peel and flesh color and quality traits. Ten cultivars were characterized by integrating physicochemical measurements, spectrophotometric assays of phytochemical co...

Flame Retardancy of Vinyl Acetate–Ethylene Emulsion Adhesives Modified with Intumescent Flame Retardants and Fly Ash

Vinyl acetate–ethylene copolymer emulsion (VAE) adhesives are widely used in formaldehyde-free wood-based panels and coating systems, but their inherent flammability limits broader application in fire-safety-demanding fields. In this work, fly ash (FA), an industrial solid waste...
