This paper presents a re-evaluation of the taxonomic identity Phlomoides pararotata. Based on comparative study morphology and type material as well field investigations, P. pararotata is synonymized with burmanica. Leaf features bract this species are described.
SUMMARY Rhododendrons are woody plants, famous throughout the world as having high horticultural value. However, many wild species currently threatened with extinction. Here, we report for first time a high‐quality, chromosome‐level genome of Rhododendron griersonianum, which has contributed to approximately 10% all rhododendron varieties but in its form been evaluated critically endangered. The final assembly, contig N50 size 34 M and total length 677 M, is highest‐quality sequenced within...
Magnolia sinica (Magnoliaceae) is a highly threatened tree endemic to southeast Yunnan, China. In this study, we generated for the first time high-quality chromosome-scale genome sequence from M. sinica, by combining Illumina and ONT data with Hi-C scaffolding methods. The final assembled size of was 1.84 Gb, contig N50 ca. 45 Mb scaffold 92 Mb. Identified repeats constituted approximately 57% genome, 43,473 protein-coding genes were predicted. Phylogenetic analysis shows that magnolias form...
Abstract Recent advancements in whole genome sequencing techniques capable of covering nearly all the nucleotide variations a would make it possible to set up conservation framework for threatened plants at genomic level. Here we applied resequencing approach obtain genome‐wide data from 105 individuals sampled 10 currently known extant populations Acer yangbiense , an endangered species with fragmented habitats and restricted distribution Yunnan, China. To inform meaningful action,...
Though it is well-acknowledged that next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies can provide further insights into plant conservation management than traditional molecular markers, studies employing NGS to address genomics and subsequent strategies for threatened plants are still rare. Rhododendron the largest genus of woody in China, many species threatened, however, date there has been no genetic research using this genus. In present study, we investigated genetics R. cyanocarpum, a...
Rhododendron meddianum is a critically endangered species with important ornamental value and also plant extremely small populations. In this study, we used double digest restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing (ddRAD) technology to assess the genetic diversity, structure demographic history of three extant populations R. meddianum. Analysis SNPs indicated that have high diversity (π = 0.0772 ± 0.0024, HE 0.0742 0.002). Both FST values (0.1582-0.2388) AMOVA showed moderate differentiation...
Abstract Aim Mycorrhiza play key roles for ecosystem structure and functioning in forests. However, how different mycorrhizal types influence mountain forest biodiversity–ecosystem (BEF) relationships are largely unknown. We evaluate the diversity of distinct mycorrhiza‐associated fungi trees shapes carbon storage along elevational gradients. Location Gaoligong Mountains within Hengduan Mountains, Southwest China. Taxon Seed plants fungi. Methods used data from 31 subtropical plots gradients...
Climate change is a major factor affecting biodiversity and species distribution, particularly of montane species. Species may respond to climate by shifting their range higher elevations. The southeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) the Hengduan Mountains are considered as global hotspots. However, information on response maple in these regions was limited. Therefore, we selected two that occur there assessed changes habitat suitability under past, present future scenarios Biomod2....
Mycorrhizal associations are key mutualisms that shape the structure of forest communities and multiple ecosystem functions. However, we lack a framework for predicting varying dominance distinct mycorrhizal in an integrated proxy multifunctionality across ecosystems. Here, used datasets containing diversity 18 processes related to supporting, provisioning, regulating services examine how ectomycorrhiza (EcM) affects subtropical mountain forests Southwest China. Meanwhile, synthesized...
Abstract Anthropogenic global warming, nitrogen addition, and overgrazing alter plant communities threaten biodiversity, potentially impacting community productivity, especially in sensitive mountain grassland ecosystems. However, it still remains unknown whether the relationship between biodiversity productivity varies across different anthropogenic influences, how changes multiple facets drive these impacts on productivity. Here, we measured of including functional phylogenetic richness...
Detailed information on the spatial distribution of threatened species is important for biodiversity conservation. Climate change may have an impact geographical organisms worldwide. As a result, research effects climate patterns therefore necessary. Although China has greatest diversity Acer any country in world, nearly quarter them are threatened. We performed modelling with Maxent to explore 20 under present and land use conditions, as well their responses predicted future change....

Corybas Salisb. is a widespread plant genus in the family Orchidaceae, known for its small, beautiful flowers. Most species this are narrow endemics. China home to six species, five of which endangered, covering southern from Taiwan western Himalayas. Niche overlap analysis was conducted on global assess conservation value Chinese evolutionary, adaptive, and niche diversity perspectives. The results revealed that have formed unique lineage, warranting efforts. Due challenges field...
Abstract Conifers are dominant in most temperate and boreal forest ecosystems, the widely distributed of gymnosperms. Despite this, many conifer species threatened with extinction, particular genetic mechanisms underlying their endangerment remain largely unknown. Pinus squamata , which harbors an extremely large diploid genome conservation significance, is among 100 endangered (plants animals) globally, has been designated as ‘Critically Endangered’ on IUCN Red List. In this study, we...
Human activities have both positive and negative impacts on forests, altering the extent composition of various forest vegetation types, increasing uncertainty in ecological management. A detailed understanding historical distribution is crucial for local conservation efforts. In this study, we integrated phenological features with climatic terrain variables to enhance mapping accuracy Yunnan. We mapped distributions five type groups nine specific types 2001, 2010, 2020. Our findings...
Rhododendron kuomeianum Y.H. Chang, J. Nielsen & Y.P. Ma, a new species of (Ericaceae) within subsect. Maddenia in sect. from Yiliang County, NE Yunnan, China, is described and illustrated. The similar to R. valentinianum, but it can be easily distinguished by its sparse scales on the abaxial surface leaf blade, fewer flowers per inflorescence white corolla with pale red margins. There are also differences widths calyx lobes, blade shape indumentum characteristics petiole between...
Plant speciation in mountain systems is crucial for shaping plant biodiversity, particularly those endemic species with small populations. The mountain-geobiodiversity hypothesis (MGH) among the possible mechanisms underlying biodiversity. To test MGH, we selected three Rhododendron occupying Hengduan Mountains (HDM) as focal and then genotyped 12 populations using Restriction-site Associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) to reveal their divergence history. We found that there was high...
