Altererythrobacter rhizovicinus sp. nov., isolated from rhizosphere soil of Haloxylon ammodendron

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2020
A salt-tolerant, Gram-negative, rod-shaped and yellow-pigmented bacterium, designated strain AY-3RT, was isolated from rhizosphere soil of a desert xerophyte, Haloxylon ammodendron, sampled at Badain Jaran Desert, Alxa region, Inner Mongolia, PR China. Growth of this strain was observed at 20-42 °C (optimum, 28-30 °C), at pH 6.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 6.0-7 ...

Genome and Single‐Cell Transcriptome Reveal the Evolution of Holoparasitic Plants: A Case Study of Cistanche deserticola

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2226-2240, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The Orobanchaceae family, the largest group of parasitic plants, spans a complete spectrum from autotrophic to holoparasitic species. As a typical endangered holoparasitic species within this family, Cistanche deserticola is a parasitic plant that is widely harvested for traditional medicine in desertic regions, and of growing importance as a ...

Response of two dominant woody species to groundwater depth at the transition zone between desert and oasis

Ecological Indicators
Haloxylon species are traditionally considered as dominant desert plants across Central Asia, but recent studies based on stable isotope showed that they are groundwater-dependent, however, their tolerance strategies and limits to groundwater decline ...

Dynamics of Vegetation and Soil in Long‐Term Artificial Sand Control Projects in the Ulan Buh Desert [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigates the long‐term synergistic evolution of vegetation and soil in artificial sand‐control projects (using straw checkerboard barriers) in China's Ulan Buh Desert. By analyzing areas with different restoration times (0–15 years), it identifies ~10 years as a critical inflection point where plant communities mature into stable, near ...

Succession of Cyanobacterial Community Contributes to Bacterial and Fungal Community Assembly in Dryland Biocrusts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Cyanobacteria are key components driving the formation and development of biological soil crusts in dryland ecosystems. Their community distribution differs significantly across stages of biocrust development. The presence of cyanobacteria influences variations in bacterial and fungal communities within biological soil crusts by regulating the ...

Sandstorms cause shrinkage of Haloxylon ammodendron shrubs and limit their self-renewal

Theoretical and Experimental Plant Physiology, 2022
AbstractHaloxylon ammodendron is an excellent windproof and sand-fixing species whose shrubs are widely cultivated in arid desert areas of northwest China but are now at risk of degradation and shrinkage. Using the chlorophyll fluorescence image analysis technique, the response of photosystem II (PSII) photochemical efficiency and non-photochemical ...
