Advancing phylogenomics in Amaranthaceae sensu stricto: Development and application of a new nuclear target enrichment bait set

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 13, Issue 5, September-October 2025.
Abstract Premise Current phylogenies of Amaranthaceae sensu stricto (s.s.) are inadequately sampled and resolved to reflect the entire evolutionary history of the lineage, which is likely complex due to at least three whole‐genome duplication events, occasionally followed by subsequent additional polyploidization events and rapid diversification of ...

Warming modulates soil multifunctionality through assembly processes and co‐occurrence patterns of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in drylands

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 2251-2267, September 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate warming poses a threat to the functionality of global dryland ecosystems, where arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) communities play a critical role in maintaining ecosystem stability and functioning.

Optimising the preparation method of seeds of Agriophyllum squarrosum prior to staining in tetrazolium solution

Seed Science and Technology, 2014
Seven samples of Agriophyllum squarrosum seeds were obtained from Minqin County Gansu province, China. These seeds were prepared for tetrazolium testing through three approaches, namely, keeping the seed intact, piercing the centre of the seed and cutting through the basal half of the seed longitudinally.

Active restoration efforts drive community succession and assembly in a desert during the past 53 years

Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Regreening efforts in deserts have been implemented globally to combat land degradation and desert expansion, but how they affect above‐ and belowground community succession and assembly processes remains unknown. Here, we examined variations in plant and soil microbial community attributes along a 53‐year restoration chronosequence following ...

Phylogeographic analysis reveals multiple origins of the desert shrub Reaumuria songarica in northern Xinjiang, involving homoploid and tetraploid hybrids

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
The Reaumuria songarica in northern Xinjiang contains an ancient population, homoploid hybrid populations, and tetraploid hybrids. These hybrid populations originated from different hybridization events between the eastern and western lineages and can be divided into the GuD‐S (incipient homoploid hybrid species) and GuD‐N genetic groups.

Changes in soil bacterial community characteristics in patches of different vegetation types under different stages of restoration in the desert of northern China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
In desert areas, the process of mobile sandy land changing to semi‐fixed sandy land and eventually to fixed sandy land after undergoing vegetation restoration is inevitable. The presence of shrub patches and herb patches is common in this restoration process.

Responses of non‐native and native plant species to fluctuations of water availability in a greenhouse experiment

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
Our results advance the current understanding of the effect of water availability on non‐native plants, which are affected not only by changes in amount of water availability but also by fluctuations in water availability. Furthermore, our results indicate that an increased few/large precipitation pattern expected under climate change conditions might ...
