ABSTRACT Dioecious plant species represent an important component of terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, little is known about sex‐specific responses to drought and elevated temperatures. Populus cathayana Rehd, which a dioecious, deciduous tree species, widely distributed in the northern, central southwestern regions China, was employed as model our study. In closed‐top chamber experiments, morphological, physiological biochemical P. different temperatures were investigated. Compared with...

The rice blast resistance gene Pid3 encodes a nucleotide-binding-site leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) protein. This was cloned from the 'Digu' (indica) by performing genome-wide comparison of NBS-LRR family between two genome-sequenced varieties, '9311' and 'Nipponbare' (japonica). In this study, we performed functional analysis Pid3-A4, an ortholog revealed allele mining in common wild A4 (Oryza rufipogon). predicted protein encoded Pid3-A4 shares 99.03% sequence identity with Pid3, only nine...

Abstract Effects of climate warming on tree growth and physiology may be driven by direct thermal effects and/or changes in soil moisture. Dioecious species usually show sexual spatial segregation along abiotic gradients; however, few studies have assessed the sex-specific responses to dioecious trees. We investigated growth, photosynthesis, nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC), water-use efficiency whole-plant hydraulic conductance (KP) Populus cathayana Rehd. under +4 °C elevated temperature...

Chinese Olea europaea leaves, rich in verbascosides, were extracted using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and wall-breaking (WBE) with deep eutectic solvents (Optimal UAE: 55 min, 200 mL/g liquid–solid ratio, 20% moisture, yielding 206.23 ± 0.58 mg GAE/g total phenolic content (TPC) 1.59 0.04% verbascoside yield (VAY); Optimal WBE: 140 s, 210 mL/g, 30% giving 210.69 0.97 TPC 1.33 0.2% VAY). HPLC analysis showed that young leaves accumulated higher compounds. Among the five olive...

Although the mechanisms underlying albino phenotypes have been examined in model plants and major crops, our knowledge of bract albinism is still its infancy. Davidia involucrata, a relic plant called dove tree, best known for intriguing trait with pair white bracts covering capitula. Here, comparative physiological, cytological, proteomic, metabolomic analyses were performed to dissect mechanism D. involucrata bracts.

Recent studies have demonstrated that plants can determine the identity of neighbouring roots (e.g., self and non-self, kin non-kin), but whether they discriminate by sex remains an open question. Here, we predict dioecious modulate their root performance in response to local conditions related sex. Female male Populus cathayana cuttings were planted a greenhouse root-owner (one individual without neighbour) or root-sharer pairs (two individuals with each other) equal amounts nutrients space...

Sex-specific responses to mycorrhiza have been reported in dioecious plant species, but little attention has paid the influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM fungi) on competitive ability under intersexual competition. To further address whether this competition is affected by an additional AM supply, Populus cathayana saplings were chosen and subjected two treatments (inoculated non-inoculated (control) with Funneliformis mosseae) while growing opposite sex for three months. Compared...

Dioecious woody species often exhibit male-biased sex ratios under drought habitat, which may result in vulnerability drying soils. However, whether biased are associated with sex-specific responses growth and defence against insect herbivory stress conditions is unknown. We investigated the sexual terms of Populus yunnanensis Dode response to two water treatments (40% 100% field capacity). Drought reduced plant (e.g., height increment, gas exchange, photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency,...
