Comprehensive GWAS and omics profiling identify key genetic factors and metabolic pathways for oat's low-phosphorus tolerance

Plant Stress
Phosphorus deficiency is a major constraint to crop productivity, particularly in cereals like oat (Avena sativa L.). In this study, 180 diverse oat accessions were evaluated under normal phosphorus (NP) and low phosphorus (LP) hydroponic conditions to ...

Seasonal variations in carbon dioxide exchange in an alpine wetland meadow on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2010
Alpine wetland meadow could functions as a carbon sink due to it high soil organic content and low decomposition. However, the magnitude and dynamics of carbon stock in alpine wetland ecosystems are not well quantified.

Genetic diversity analysis of phenotypic and agronomic traits in oat germplasm resources

Frontiers in Plant Science
The evaluation of genetic diversity in germplasm resources is fundamental to crop breeding. A total of 183 oat germplasm resources were evaluated through field trials at Xinjin District and Shandan County, located in southern and northern China ...

Iron‐Mediated Release of Aged Dissolved Organic Carbon From Waterlogged Peatland Under Warming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study conducts a five‐year in situ warming experiment in high‐altitude peatlands to examine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release. The study shows that warming promotes the release of plant‐derived modern DOC in drained peatlands, but amplifies aquatic export of century‐old DOC from waterlogged peatlands via Fe‐mediated DOC mobilization—a ...

Stable and radiogenic isotopes as tracers for soil degradation [PDF]

, 2008
Soil erosion seriously threatens mountain slopes. Direct measurement of soil erosion in the field is difficult and needs long term recording. However, stable and radiogenic isotopes are potential tracers for soil erosion estimation and would enable a ...

Groundwater Rise Sustains the World's Largest Alpine Water System Under Global Warming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Shallow groundwater depth (SGWD) across the non‐permafrost plains of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau decreased at averagely 0.02 m year−1, adding 31.44 Gt of freshwater storage from 2000 to 2020 and sustaining ∼53 500 km2 of alpine ecosystems. A vadose‐zone capacity of 426.6 Gt reveals these aquifers as promising reservoirs, highlighting groundwater's ...

Exogenous Melatonin Alleviates Osmotic Stress by Enhancing Antioxidant Metabolism, Photosynthetic Maintenance, and Hormone Homeostasis in Forage Oat (Avena sativa) Seedlings

Grasses
Melatonin (MT) is a multifunctional hormone that enhances crop resilience against various abiotic stresses. However, its regulatory mechanism of osmotic tolerance in forage oats (Avena sativa) plants under water-limited scenarios is still unclear.
