Chloroplast Fibrillin‐Mediated α‐Tocopherol Biosynthesis Impaired by a Virus to Enhance Infection and to Improve Drought Tolerance

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ToCV‐encoded p22 targets chloroplast plastoglobules (PGs) via directly binding PG structural protein FBN1.1, reducing the size of PG and inhibiting α‐tocopherol biosynthesis via competing with tocopherol cyclase (VTE1). Consequently, the elevated chloroplast ROS not only creates a suitable cellular environment for efficient ToCV infection but also ...

The main challenges of sustainable forest management in the Amazon: why sustainable forest management in the Amazon should be reinforced? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Since the last 50 years, tropical natural forests have been intensively logged in the tropics to supply the increasing demand of tropical timber. Unplanned logging operations caused forest degradation leading to their conversion due to the loss of their ...

Depth‐Dependence Changes in Soil Stoichiometry in China's Croplands Over the Past Four Decades

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals depth‐dependent changes in soil C:N:P ratios across Chinese croplands over four decades. Changes in stoichiometry vary markedly between topsoil and subsoil, with initial soil C:N:P ratios playing a key role in determining their trajectories.

Spatial heterogeneity of soil respiration in a seasonal rainforest with complex terrain

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2013
Although numerous studies have been conducted to investigate ecosystem-scale soil respiration, our understanding of this process is still incomplete, especially with respect to the spatial variability and ecological factors that drive such variability in

Ratoon Season Rice Reduces Methane Emissions by Limiting Acetic Acid Transport to the Rhizosphere and Inhibiting Methanogens

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study finds that the interaction between ABA‐OsCIPK2‐OsSWEET1A reduces the allocation of methane producing bacteria carbon source (acetic acid) content to the rhizosphere soil of ratoon season rice, thereby reducing methane emissions. Abstract Rice paddies are a major, persistent source of atmospheric methane (CH4), emission rates depend on the ...

Global Diversification Rates of Ferns Across Spatial and Climatic Gradients

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Diversification rates of fern genera across the phylogeny. Abstract Geographic patterns of diversity in any group of plants are the result of the interplay of environmental conditions and the evolutionary dynamics of the respective plant group. Here, the geographic distribution of current mean diversification rates (MDR) is explored at the genus level ...

A key to the adult Costa Rican "helicopter" damselflies (Odonata: Pseudostigmatidae) with notes on their phenology and life zone preferences

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2001
We present a key to the Costa Rican species of Pseudostigmatidae, comprising three genera with the following species: Megaloprepus caerulatus, Mecistogaster linearis, M. modesta, M. ornata and Pseudostigma aberrans. Pseudostigma accedens, which may occur

Tropical Dry Forest Succession and the Contribution of Lianas to Wood Area Index (WAI) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The transmission and interception of light through the canopy is an important indicator of forest productivity in tropical forest ecosystems, and the amount of light that eventually reaches the forest floor is influenced by its interactions with leaves ...

Arboreal frogs, tank bromeliads and disturbed seasonal tropical forest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We investigated the relationship between arboreal frogs, tank bromeliads and landscape transformation in tropical forests of southeastern Campeche, Mexico. We surveyed frogs in six distinct habitats: slash and burn agriculture, seasonally flooded forest (
