Genome-Wide Identification, Evolutionary Characterization, and Salt-Stress Expression Profiling of Antimicrobial Peptide Gene Families in the Xerophytic Recretohalophyte Reaumuria soongarica

Background/Objectives: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) contribute to plant innate immunity and abiotic-stress adaptation, but their repertoires remain poorly characterized in extremophytic plants. We aimed to define AMP gene families and their expression under Na2SO4 treatment in t...

Spatial pattern and structural transformation of industrial carbon dioxide emissions in China

Abstract Industrial carbon emissions are a critical component of China’s carbon peaking and carbon neutrality strategy, yet their long-term spatial evolution and underlying drivers remain insufficiently understood. Using the China City Greenhouse Gas (CCG) dataset and urban stati...

Greening of the Taklamakan Desert: Effects of climate change and ecological water conveyance

Oases in the Taklamakan Desert exist in an extremely arid region. Persistent droughts in the late 20th century nearly caused ecosystem collapse in the Lower Tarim River region. Since the implementation of ecological water conveyance in 2000, groundwater levels have increased, veg...

Experimental Study on Gas–Water Two-Phase Seepage Characteristics in a Low-Permeability Gas Reservoir

The relationship between two-phase flow behavior and pore microstructure in low-permeability gas reservoirs remains poorly understood, particularly during gas accumulation (gas displacing water) and subsequent development (water displacing gas). To address this, five plug cores w...
