Apple bitter pit (ABP), a severe physiological disorder, severely impairs the quality and yield of the susceptible 'Qingcui' apple. This study investigated the control efficacy and mechanism of a three-in-one Organic Plant Protection Technology (OPPT) against ABP, with treatments set as control (...
Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is known to be a mutually beneficial plant-fungal symbiosis; however, the effect of mycorrhization is heavily dependent on multiple biotic and abiotic factors. Therefore, for the proper employment of such plant-fungal symbiotic systems in agriculture, a detailed underst...
Gut microbiota dysbiosis has been implicated in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). However, most studies have focused on the bacterial community and the exact role and mechanisms of multi-kingdom gut microbiota, including bacteria, archaea and fungi in PAH remains largely unclear. Idiopathic ...
Microplastics and nanoplastics are commonly found in our everyday environments. So far, microplastics and nanoplastics have been detected in various tissues and bodily fluids, including hair, sputum, digestive tissue, lungs, blood, and placental tissue. Although some studies indicate that micropl...
Endophytic fungi and phytohormone signaling can jointly influence growth–defense trade-offs in medicinal plants by reprogramming metabolism in a stage-dependent manner. To elucidate how the endophytic fungus Trichoderma longibrachiatum FG and exogenous salicylic acid (SA) and methyl jasmonat...
Oil-tea Camellia is a promising woody oil crop that has been widely used as a cooking oil, lubricant, and cosmetics. However, there is a lack of dominant varieties suitable for high-altitude cold mountainous regions. Camellia weiningensis (C. weiningensis) is the only h...
Shrub willow has strong adaptability, large biomass and short rotation period. Colorful willow barks have great ornamental and economic value. To study the color regulation mechanism, metabolomics and transcriptomics were used to analyze the purple, green and red barks. In the positive mode, a to...
