Typical Rhizomatous Clonal Grass Psammochloa villosa Changes Resource Allocation During Clonal Expansion to Fit Arid Sandy Habitats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Resource allocation of Psammochloa villosa changes with clonal expansion in dunes. Growth of plant height, leaf area and rhizome length increase with patch size, and allocation shifts toward aboveground relative to the rhizome at a certain size. Sexual ramets occurs only in sufficiently size at the expense of rhizome growth, highlighting the needs of ...

Effects of Mineral Soil Supplementation on In Vitro Digestibility of Dry Matter and Organic Matter and In Sacco Degradability of Urea Treated Maize Stover

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.
Climate‐induced feed shortages have led to increased reliance on crop residues, which are low in nutrients and require nutritional quality improvement. Thus, improving crop residues and their incorporation into mixed diets is a promising approach to enhancing livestock production.

Interspecific Competition of Plant Communities Based on Fractional Order Time Delay Lotka–Volterra Model

Fractal and Fractional
A novel time delay Lotka–Volterra (TDLV) model was developed by extending the concept of time delay from integer order to fractional order. The TDLV model was constructed to simulate the dynamics of aboveground biomass per individual of three dominant ...

Overgrazing-induced legacy effects may permit Leymus chinensis to cope with herbivory

PeerJ, 2020
There is growing evidence that herbivory-induced legacy effects permit plants to cope with herbivory. However, herbivory-induced defense strategies in plants against grazing mammals have received little attention. To further understand the grazing-induced legacy effects on plants, we conducted a greenhouse experiment with

On the Formation and Dynamics of Micro Dew Droplets on Grass: the Role of Epicuticular Wax

Small, Volume 21, Issue 39, October 2, 2025.
Despite their familiar appearance, dew droplets on grass emerge from a finely tuned interplay between environmental factors and surface architecture. Microscale analysis uncovers a key role of epicuticular wax micromorphologies in promoting the nucleation and growth of spherical droplets on the biphilic leaves of wheatgrass.

Turbo‐charging crop improvement: harnessing multiplex editing for polygenic trait engineering and beyond

The Plant Journal, Volume 124, Issue 1, October 2025.
SUMMARY Multiplex CRISPR editing has emerged as a transformative platform for plant genome engineering, enabling the simultaneous targeting of multiple genes, regulatory elements, or chromosomal regions. This approach is effective for dissecting gene family functions, addressing genetic redundancy, engineering polygenic traits, and accelerating trait ...

Stable Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of the halophytic Leymus chinensis (Trin.)

AFRICAN JOURNAL OF BIOTECHNOLOGY, 2012
In this study, an efficient procedure for stable Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of Leymus chinensis (Trin.) was established. Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105, harboring a binary vector pCAMBIA2300, was used for transformation, along with a sweet potato 2-cysteine peroxiredoxin (2-Cys Prx) gene under the control of the stress-inducible ...

Geographical Patterns and Drivers of Species and Phylogenetic Diversity of Desert Plant Communities in the Hexi Corridor, Northwestern China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
This study analyzes the spatial distribution and driving factors of plant species and phylogenetic diversity in Hexi Corridor, and points out that the central region has the highest diversity and that the climate and soil jointly regulate the diversity pattern, which is beneficial to the formulation of conservation strategies in desert areas.

Cuticular waxes in alpine grassland plants: Chemical diversity, biosynthesis, and ecological adaptation with biotechnological insights

Grassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 269-280, September 2025.
Alpine plants use specialized cuticular waxes to survive extreme cold, UV radiation, and drought. This study explores how these waxes adapt to environmental stress, revealing their chemical diversity, biosynthesis, and ecological roles. Understanding these adaptations can inspire innovations in climate‐resilient crops and UV‐protective bioproducts ...
