Swarming behavior in plant roots.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Interactions between individuals that are guided by simple rules can generate swarming behavior. Swarming behavior has been observed in many groups of organisms, including humans, and recent research has revealed that plants also demonstrate social ...

Effects of short-term nitrogen and phosphorus addition on leaf stoichiometry of a dominant alpine grass [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
The effects of increasing nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) deposition on the nutrient stoichiometry of soil and plant are gaining improving recognition. However, whether and how the responses of N cycle coupled with P of the soil–plant system to external ...

Alhagi sparsifolia Harbors a Different Root-Associated Mycobiome during Different Development Stages

Microorganisms, 2022
The mycobiome in the rhizosphere and within the roots benefits the nutrition and function of host plants. However, compared with the bacterial community, root-associated mycobiomes of desert plants and the forces that drive their assemblage are limited ...

Physiological changes of three woody plants exposed to progressive salt stress

Photosynthetica, 2021
The saline character of water imposes restrictions on plant growth and survival in the Taklamakan Desert, China. Experiments were conducted on woody plant species, Tamarix ramosissima, Populus euphratica, and Haloxylon ammodendron grown under different ...

Vein Network and Climatic Factors Predict the Leaf Economic Spectrum of Desert Plants in Xinjiang, China

Plants, 2023
The leaf economic spectrum (LES) has been repeatedly verified with regional and global datasets. However, the LES of desert plants and its drivers has not been fully explored at the species level.

Root morphological and physiological traits are committed to the phosphorus acquisition of the desert plants in phosphorus-deficient soils

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Phosphorus (P) deficiency in desert ecosystems is widespread. Generally, desert species may allocate an enormous proportion of photosynthetic carbon to their root systems to adjust their P-acquisition strategies.

MicroRNAs Mediated Plant Responses to Salt Stress

Cells, 2022
One of the most damaging issues to cultivatable land is soil salinity. While salt stress influences plant growth and yields at low to moderate levels, severe salt stress is harmful to plant growth.

Different Responses of Soil Bacterial and Fungal Communities in Three Typical Vegetations following Nitrogen Deposition in an Arid Desert

Microorganisms, 2023
The effects of increased nitrogen (N) deposition on desert ecosystems have been extensively studied from a plant community perspective. However, the response of soil microbial communities, which play a crucial role in nutrient cycling, to N inputs and ...

Phosphorous Supplementation Alleviates Drought-Induced Physio-Biochemical Damages in Calligonum mongolicum

Plants, 2022
Calligonum mongolicum is a phreatophyte playing an important role in sand dune fixation, but little is known about its responses to drought and P fertilization.

Resistance screening of white yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) accessions against Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White, 1919) Chitwood, 1949 using yam vines

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2022
Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) is an economically important phytoparasitic nematode species. In yam production, therefore, breeding for nematode resistance is an important environmentally friendly tool to manage root-knot nematodes damage ...
