Genomic insights into the genotype-environment mismatch and conservation units of a Qinghai-Tibet Plateau endemic cypress under climate change. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2022 Abstract Habitat loss induced by climate warming is a major threat to biodiversity, particularly to threatened species. Understanding the genetic diversity and distributional responses to climate change of threatened species is critical to facilitate their conservation and management.

Loss of the IR region in conifer plastomes: Changes in the selection pressure and substitution rate of protein-coding genes. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 There are significant differences in the selection pressure of 12 genes and the evolution rate of 9 genes between conifer and non‐conifer. This difference seems to be not related to the loss of typical IR regions but related to habitat. And the newly obtained short IR region plays a role in stabilizing the genome.

Woody plant functional traits and phylogenetic signals correlate with urbanization in remnant forest patches. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 The study found significant phylogenetic signals in many plant functional traits, especially for urban groups. Moreover, the phylogenies significantly affected our ability to detect dominant functional traits for different groups of woody plant species. However, most previous studies only focused on taxonomic and functional filtering while ignoring the

<i>Euonymus chengduanus</i> (Celastraceae), a New Species Unexpectedly Discovered in an Urban Forest Park in the Megacity of Chengdu, West China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study discovered a new plant species within the urban area and named it Chengdu for the first time. This discovery implies that even in intensively anthropogenic‐impacted areas adjacent to large cities, undocumented plant diversity may still exist.

Responses of Soil Microbial Community to Rocky Desertification Succession and Their Relationships With Plant Functional Diversity in Southwest China Karst Ecosystem. [PDF]
Ecol EvolDuring the succession of karst rocky desertification, soil bacterial diversity was directly influenced by both plant functional diversity and soil physicochemical properties. In contrast, soil fungal diversity was directly regulated by soil physicochemical properties and indirectly affected by plant functional diversity via the mediation of soil ...

Early growth evaluation and biomass allocation differences of Cupressus funebris clones and families [PDF]
, 2022 Abstract Clonal forestry offers the opportunity to increase yields, enhance uniformity and improve wood characteristics. Evaluation of growth differences between clones and families has rarely been studied in slow-growing Cupressus funebris species, and whether such growth differences are related to biomass allocation patterns remains to be ...

Pest categorisation of Pestalotiopsis microspora
EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Following an EFSA commodity risk assessment of bonsai plants (Pinus parviflora grafted on Pinus thunbergii) imported from China, the EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Pestalotiopsis microspora, a clearly defined plant pathogenic fungus of the family Pestalotiopsidaceae.

A new neolignan and a new biphenylpropanoid from the leaves of Cupressus funebris Endl.
South African Journal of Botany, 2021 Abstract A new neolignan, (-)-(7S, 8R)-3‑methoxy-4', 7-epoxy-8, 5'-neolignane-5, 9, 3', 9′-tetraol (1) and a new biphenylpropanoid, 1, 2-epoxy-1-(3', 4'-dihydroxyphenyl-)-3-(2'', 3'', 5''-trihydroxyphenyl-) propane (2), together with eight known compounds (3-10), were isolated from the 95% EtOH extract of the leaves of Cupressus funebris Endl.
