Enhancement of late successional plants on ex-arable land by soil inoculations

, 2011
Restoration of species-rich grasslands on ex-arable land can help the conservation of biodiversity but faces three big challenges: absence of target plant propagules, high residual soil fertility and restoration of soil communities.

Environmental filtering and dispersal limitation jointly shaped the taxonomic and phylogenetic beta diversity of natural forests in southern China

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Aim The mechanisms underlying the maintenance of biodiversity remain to be elucidated. Taxonomic diversity alone remains an unresolved issue, especially in terms of the mechanisms of species co‐existence.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Spatial distribution of soil quality under different vegetation types in the Yellow River Delta wetland

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The soils from four typical natural wetlands, namely, Phragmites australis, Tamarix chinensis, Suaeda salsa, and tidal flat, as well as reclaimed wetland, were selected to evaluate the soil quality in the Yellow River Delta. Fourteen soil physicochemical

Ecological and Habitat Restoration for Insect Conservation

Ecological restoration, the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem, can benefit insect conservation. The restoration of native plant species is often associated with natural recovery of insects, firstly phytophagous and pollinators. Restoration can also specifically aim at assisting the recovery of a particular insect taxon: meadows reopened

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Achieving conservation and restoration outcomes through ecologically beneficial aquaculture

Conservation Biology, 2023
Abstract A range of conservation and restoration tools are needed to safeguard the structure and function of aquatic ecosystems. Aquaculture, the culturing of aquatic organisms, often contributes to the numerous stressors that aquatic ecosystems face, yet some aquaculture activities can also deliver ecological benefits.

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Four approaches to guide ecological restoration in Latin America

, 2016
There is strong upswing in conservation and restoration efforts in Latin America (LA), particularly in the recent decadesafter several countries have committed to international agreements such as the Aichi targets of the Convention on BiologicalDiversity,

The complete chloroplast genome and phylogenomic analysis of Camellia sinensis var. sinensis cultivar ‘Liupao’, a landrace from Guangxi, China

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2023
Liupao tea is one of the well-known Chinese tea brands and a famous local specialty in Wuzhou, Guangxi, China. However, the genetic background and phylogenetic relationship of the native resource plants of Liupao tea need study, especially at the genomic
