Leaf dry mass per unit area (LMA) is considered to represent the photosynthetic capacity, which actually implies a hypothesis that foliar water (leaf fresh weight minus leaf weight) proportional during growth. However, relevant studies demonstrated disproportionately increases with increasing weight. Although scaling relationships of vs. for many plants were investigated, few compared relationship based on In this study, we used data three families (Lauraceae, Oleaceae, and Poaceae,...
Significance Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) using sequencing of fetal cell-free DNA from maternal plasma has allowed accurate diagnosis aneuploidy without requirement an invasive procedure; this approach gained increasing clinical acceptance. In manuscript, we evaluate whether NIPT semiconductor platform (SSP) could reliably detect subchromosomal deletions/duplications in women carrying a high-risk fetus. We show that detection abnormalities is viable extension SSP. Given the recent...
The simplified Gielis equation (SGE) can approximately describe the leaf shapes of many different broad-leaved plant species by replacing two parameters SGE with width and length a floating ratio (c–value) to adjust for length. In this study, we tested validity in predicting area using 20 bamboo species, 12 Rosaceae, 5 Lauraceae, Oleaceae. We find that c–values are all smaller than zero, whereas, most tree larger zero. Using c–values, there was strong correlation (>0.99 investigated) between...
Moso bamboo is widespread in natural forests and cultivated over large areas China. This study investigated how climate controls its distribution, about which little known. We collected moso presence-absence data from 674 sites with long-term Mainland Generalized additive models that included location variables were used to test the effects of these predictors on species' occurrence. identified best model as one lowest Akaike's Information Criterion value contained only statistically...
Pinus koraiensis polysaccharides (PKP) were extracted by hot water from P. pine cones. Five polysaccharide fractions named PKP-A, PKP-B, PKP-C, PKP-D and PKP-E successfully separated at final ethanol concentrations of 30%, 50%, 60%, 70% 80%, respectively. HPLC, FT-IR, GC-MS automatic amino-acid analysis applied to investigate their chemical characteristics. Monosaccharide component indicated that the five all composed D-ribose, L-rhamnose, L-arabinose, D-xylose, D-mannose, D-glucose...
There is convincing evidence for a scaling relationship between leaf dry weight (DW) and surface area (A) broad-leaved plants, most estimates of the exponent DW vs. A are greater than unity. However, fresh (FW) has been largely neglected. In present study, we examined whether there statistically strong FW compared goodness fit to that A. Between 250 520 leaves from each 12 bamboo species within 2 genera (Phyllostachys Pleioblastus) were investigated. The reduced major axis regression...
Many cross-sectional shapes of plants have been found to approximate a superellipse rather than an ellipse. Square bamboos, belonging the genus Chimonobambusa (Poaceae), are group with round-edged square-like culm cross sections. The initial application superellipses model these sections has focused on quadrangularis (Franceschi) Makino. However, there is need for large scale empirical data confirm this hypothesis. In study, approximately 750 from 30 culms C. utilis were scanned obtain...
The future performance of the widely abundant European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) across its ecological amplitude is uncertain. Although considered drought-sensitive and thus negatively affected by drought events, scientific evidence indicating increasing vulnerability under climate change on a cross-regional scale remains elusive. While evaluating changes in sensitivity secondary growth offers promising avenue, studies from productive, closed-canopy forests suffer knowledge gaps, especially...
Ring-width series are important for diverse fields of research such as the study past climate, forest ecology, genetics, and determination origin (dendro-provenancing) or dating archaeological objects. Recent suggests diverging climate-growth relationships in tree-rings due to cardinal direction extracting tree cores (i.e. direction-specific effect). This presents an understudied source bias that potentially affects many data sets tree-ring research. In this study, we investigated possible...
Leaves, as the most important photosynthetic organ of plants, are intimately associated with plant function and adaptation to environmental changes. The scaling relationship leaf dry mass (or fresh mass) vs. surface area has been referred “diminishing returns”, suggesting that fails increase in proportion mass). However, previous studies used materials across different families, there is lack testing whether proportional for species same family, examining influence on two kinds diminishing...
Light, as a primary source of energy, directly or indirectly influences virtually all morphological modifications occurring in both shoots and roots. A pot experiment was conducted to assess the growth patterns one-year-old Pleioblastus pygmaeus plants' rhizome-root systems their responses different light intensities from 11 March 26 December 2016. The design scheme 3.87% (L1), 11.25% (L2), 20.25% (L3), 38.76% (L4), 60.70% (L5), 100% full sunlight (control CK). results indicated that along...
Allelopathy plays an important role in plant-plant interactions, particularly through compounds released from litter exudates and decomposition. We conducted a greenhouse experiment to examine how additions of Cinnamomum septentrionale Hand. Mazz leaf (A) versus aqueous extracts (B) can impact Eucalyptus grandis Hill ex Maid saplings, focusing on growth, physiology photosynthesis. show that both A B significantly inhibited the growth photosynthesis E. this inhibition strengthened with...
Continuous cropping obstacles reduce the production and quality of agricultural products, application rhizosphere beneficial microbes is an important strategy. Strain ZH07 showed autotoxin-degrading plant growth-promoting capacities.
