Owing to decreasing costs and increased efficiency, it is now conceivable that conservation genomic information can be used improve the effectiveness of recovery programs for many, if not most, threatened plants. We suggest a simple study viewed as an initial step in decision-making, informs long-term efforts various ways. present biodiversity managers biologists with simple, standardized workflow research guide efficient collection, analysis application across disparate Using two case...
Drought stress can significantly affect plant growth and development. Biochar (BC) growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been found to increase fertility development under drought conditions. The single effects of BC PGPR in different species widely reported abiotic stress. However, there relatively few studies on the positive role PGPR, BC, their combination barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Therefore, current study investigated from Parthenium hysterophorus, tolerant (Serratia odorifera),...
Abstract Plant invasions can affect soil properties in the invaded habitat by altering biotic and abiotic nature of soils through positive or negative plant–soil feedback. Litter decomposition from many invasive species enhanced nutrients, thereby decreasing native plant diversity leading to further invasions. Here, we examined impact litter an (Sphagneticola trilobata) a range at varying depths on growth physiology its congener calendulacea). We added S. trilobata each type different (0, 2,...
Eucalyptus is a genus that occurs in range of habitats Australia, Papua New Guinea, Timor, Sulawesi and the Philippines, with several species being used as sources timber fibre. However, despite its ecological commercial significance, understanding evolutionary history remains challenge. The focus present study green ashes (subgenus section Eucalyptus). Although previous studies, based primarily on morphology, suggest form monophyletic group, there has been disagreement concerning divergence...
Heart rate (HR) has been identified as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet little is known regarding genetic factors influencing this phenotype. Previous research in American Indians (AIs) from the Strong Family Study (SHFS) significant quantitative trait locus (QTL) HR on chromosome 9p21. Genetic association was conducted SHFS. measured electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiograph (Echo) Doppler recordings. We examined 2248 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) 9p21 using...
Phenotypic plasticity is an important means through which organisms cope with environmental variability. We investigated seedling in the green ash eucalypts within a phylogenetic framework to examine relationship between and evolutionary history. The ashes are diverse group, include tallest flowering plant world (Eucalyptus regnans) rare mallee less than 1 m tall (E. cunninghamii).Seedlings of 12 species were exposed high low nutrient water availability factorial experiment. Leaf trait total...
Invasive plants are a huge burden on the environment, and modify local ecosystems by affecting indigenous biodiversity. generally less affected pathogens, although underlying molecular mechanisms responsible for their enhanced resistance unknown. We investigated expression profiles of three defense hormones (salicylic acid, jasmonic ethylene) associated genes in invasive weed, Alternanthera philoxeroides, its native congener, A. sessilis, after inoculation with Rhizoctonia solani....
Invasive plants threaten biodiversity and cause huge economic losses. It is thought that global change factors (GCFs) associated with climate (including shifts in temperature, precipitation, nitrogen, atmospheric CO2) will amplify their impacts. However, only few studies assessed mixed on plant invasion. We collated the literature responses to GCFs explore independent, combined, interactive effects performance competitiveness of native invasive plants. From 176 species, our results showed...
Changes in environmental factors, such as temperature and UV, have significant impacts on the growth development of both native invasive plant species. However, few studies examine combined effects warming enhanced UV performance Here, we investigated single radiation growth, leaf functional photosynthesis traits, nutrient content (i.e., total organic carbon, nitrogen phosphorous) Solidago canadensis its co-occurring species, Artemisia argyi, when grown culture racks greenhouse. The species...
Due to the rapid development of China’s economy, demand for wood is steadily increasing. Eucalyptus species have been introduced in large quantities because their fast growth, strong adaptability, and wide utility. To understand phenological changes its new range, we carried out a field investigation examine leaf functional chemical defense traits three (E. saligna, E. grandis robusta) over latitudinal altitudinal gradients southern China. We sampled multiple stands each species, measured...
Understanding the mechanisms underlying species divergence remains a central goal in evolutionary biology. Landscape genetics can be powerful tool for examining processes. We used genome-wide scans to genotype samples from populations of eight Angophora species. is small genus within eucalypts comprising common and rare heterogeneous landscape, making it an appropriate group study speciation. found A. hispida was highly differentiated other Two subspecies costata (subsp. subsp. euryphylla)...
The chance discovery of an unusual Ficus specimen near Katherine in the Northern Territory prompted investigation into hybridisation between two morphologically distinct endemic Australian sandpaper figs, aculeata A.Cunn. ex Miq. and F. coronulata In this study, genome-wide scans morphological measurements were used to investigate perceived by using herbarium freshly collected samples. Most putative hybrids displayed a wide variety intermediate morphology some individuals had characteristics...
