Accelerated growth increases the somatic epimutation rate in trees

Nature Communications
Trees are integral to ecosystems and hold considerable economic importance. Their exceptional longevity and modular structure also make them valuable models for studying the long-term accumulation of somatic mutations and epimutations in plants ...

Predicting individual tree diameter at breast height for genetically diverse Catalpa bungei using nonlinear mixed-effects models and UAV LiDAR data

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionDiameter at breast height (DBH) is a key parameter for assessing tree growth, carbon storage, and ecological functions. Traditional ground surveys are inefficient, labor-intensive, and terrain-limited, making them unsuitable for large-scale ...

Treatments for improving tree growth, yield and fruit quality and for reducing double fruit and deep suture incidence in “Desert red” peach trees

International Journal of Horticultural Science, 2016
Five years old “Desert red” peach trees budded on Nemaguard rootstock and grown in sandy soil at commercial orchard Al-Nubaria city, El-Behira Governorate-Egypt were treated with some agricultural treatments involving thinning out pruning, fruit thinning

Contrasting responses of forest growth and carbon sequestration to heat and drought in the Alps

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Climate change is expected to increase both the frequency and the intensity of climate extremes, consequently increasing the risk of forest role transition from carbon sequestration to carbon emission. These changes are occurring more rapidly in the Alps,

Forest composition influences how seasonal climate variables affect white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) growth

The Forestry Chronicle, 2023
Variation in annual white spruce growth (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) has been shown to be dependent on weather conditions such as air temperature and moisture availability.

Random tree growth by vertex splitting

, 2009
We study a model of growing planar tree graphs where in each time step we separate the tree into two components by splitting a vertex and then connect the two pieces by inserting a new link between the daughter vertices.

Establishment of a humanized patient‐derived xenograft mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer for preclinical evaluation of combination immunotherapy

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We have established a humanized orthotopic patient‐derived xenograft (Hu‐oPDX) mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) that recapitulates human tumor–immune interactions. Using combined anti‐PD‐L1/anti‐CD73 immunotherapy, we demonstrate the model's improved biological relevance and enhanced translational value for preclinical ...

Estimation of individual tree aboveground biomass of genetically diverse Catalpa bungei based on nonlinear mixed-effects models and UAV LiDAR data

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionAccurate estimation of individual tree aboveground biomass (AGB) is essential for tree species selection, carbon accounting, and precision forestry.

Comparative tree growth, phenology and fruit yield of several Japanese plum cultivars in two newly established orchards, organic and conventionally managed

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2013
The growth, phenology and fruit yield of 14 Japanese plum cultivars (Prunus salicina Lindl) were studied in two newly established experimental orchards under organic and conventional management.

Evolutionarily divergent DUF4465 domains have a common vitamin B12‐binding function

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We show that DUF4465 family proteins, widespread across bacteria from gut microbiomes, hydrothermal vents, and soil, share a common vitamin B12‐binding function. These augmented β‐jellyroll proteins bind vitamin B12 via extended loops. Our findings establish sequence‐diverse DUF4465 proteins as a widespread class of B12‐binding proteins, highlighting ...
