Soil nematode community assembly in a primary tropical lowland rainforest

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
More than half of the world's tropical lowland rainforests have been lost due to conversion to agricultural land (such as rubber plantations). Thus, ecological restoration in degraded tropical lowland rainforests is crucial. The first step to restoration

Plant Growth Regulators Enhance Floral Induction of ‘Ziniangxi’ Litchi Under Warm–Humid Winters

Horticulturae
Floral induction in late-maturing litchi is vulnerable to warm, humid winters with insufficient chilling. The late cultivar ‘Ziniangxi’ was evaluated during January–February 2024 in an experimental orchard in Hainan, China, when chilling accumulation was

Red Light Night-Break at 660 nm Extends Autumn Flowering in Annona squamosa Through Shoot Senescence Delay and Phytohormone Remodeling Under Warm Temperature Dependence

Horticulturae
Extending the fruiting season of Annona squamosa L. requires overcoming autumn and winter flowering declines. This study investigates the efficacy of light-quality regulation technologies and their temperature dependence for floral induction.

Acyl-CoA-binding protein family members in laticifers are possibly involved in lipid and latex metabolism of Hevea brasiliensis (the Para rubber tree)

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Acyl-CoA-binding proteins (ACBPs) are mainly involved in acyl-CoA ester binding and trafficking in eukaryotic cells, and their various functions have been characterized in model plants, such as Arabidopsis thaliana (A. thaliana), Oryza sativa (

The extent of trees in the tropics

, 2022
Abstract Remote sensing-based assessments of tree cover and extent provide insight into global and local land use planning. However, there remains considerable uncertainty about the extent of drylands forests and trees in areas with non-forest land use. Here, we present a 10-meter tree extent map for 4.35 billion hectares in the tropics (-23.44°
