The Plant‐to‐Plant Circular Strategy: Coupling Photodegradation and Phytoremediation With Plant‐Based Nanomaterials for Plastic Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plant‐based nanomaterials derived from alfalfa serve as dual‐function catalysts, coupling photodegradation and phytoremediation to degrade polyethylene under UV‐A light and in soil. The nanomaterials work synergistically with alfalfa and soil microbes, achieving efficient plastic breakdown without trophic transfer.

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

Effects of water and salt stress on seed germination and seedling growth of Acanthus ebracteatus

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionWater deficit and salinity are primary abiotic filters shaping mangrove establishment. The endangered mangrove Acanthus ebracteatus Vahl possesses ecological and pharmacological importance, but its populations are declining.

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Development and application of genome-derived SSR markers for genetic diversity analysis, molecular fingerprinting, and core collection construction in bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spp.)

BMC Genomics
Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spp.) is an important ornamental shrub, yet its cultivar identification and genetic background remain poorly characterized. To address this, we developed 18 polymorphic SSR markers based on the B.
