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...

Pollen tube growth: signal perception and temporary growth arrest

Abstract Pollen tubes are among the fastest growing polarized plant cells and must traverse the stigma, style and ovary to deliver male gametes. The style constitutes the longest and most complex phase of this journey yet the molecular and biomechanical logic of pollen tube behav...

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...
