Impact of climate change on extinction risk of montane tree species. [PDF]

, 2014
The potential impacts of climate change on many species worldwide remains unknown, especially in those tropical regions that are centers of endemism and are highly biodiverse.

Functional analysis of secondary tropical dry forests in a region of the Colombia, Caribbean [PDF]

, 2013
Secondary tropical forests are increasingly recognized for their role conserving biodiversity in agricultural landscapes and this role is especially important for seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF), one of the most threatened tropical forested ...

RNA Sequencing Reveals Phenylpropanoid Biosynthesis Genes and Transcription Factors for Hevea brasiliensis Reaction Wood Formation

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Given the importance of wood in many industrial applications, much research has focused on wood formation, especially lignin biosynthesis. However, the mechanisms governing the regulation of lignin biosynthesis in the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis ...

Third-generation sequencing and metabolome analysis reveal candidate genes and metabolites with altered levels in albino jackfruit seedlings

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background Most plants rely on photosynthesis; therefore, albinism in plants with leaves that are white instead of green causes slow growth, dwarfing, and even death.

Integrated mRNA and Small RNA Sequencing Reveals microRNAs Associated With Xylem Development in Dalbergia odorifera

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Dalbergia odorifera is a rare and precious rosewood specie, whose wood is a very high-quality material for valuable furniture and carving crafts. However, limited information is available about the process of wood formation in D. odorifera.

Silicon-based anti-herbivore defense in tropical tree seedlings

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Silicon-based defenses deter insect herbivores in many cultivated and wild grass species. Furthermore, in some of these species, silicon (Si) uptake and defense can be induced by herbivory.

Flood tolerance of four tropical tree species [PDF]

Tree Physiology, 1999
Many seasonally flooded habitats in the tropics are dominated by one or a few tree species. We tested the hypothesis that the inability to tolerate flooding restricts most species from becoming established in flood-prone habitats. We compared morphological and physiological responses to flooding in seedlings of Prioria copaifera Griseb., a species that

Small and slow is safe: On the drought tolerance of tropical tree species [PDF]

Global Change Biology, 2022
AbstractUnderstanding how evolutionary history and the coordination between trait trade‐off axes shape the drought tolerance of trees is crucial to predict forest dynamics under climate change. Here, we compiled traits related to drought tolerance and the fast‐slow and stature‐recruitment trade‐off axes in 601 tropical woody species to explore their ...

Third-generation sequencing found LncRNA associated with heat shock protein response to heat stress in Populus qiongdaoensis seedlings

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background As air temperatures increase globally, more and more plants are exposed to heat-stress conditions. Although many studies have explored regulation networks in plants with the aim of improving their heat-stress tolerance, only few have revealed ...
