Abstract The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) is the highest and largest plateau in world. It covers correspondingly wide geological, topographical, climatic gradients, thus hosts greater biodiversity than surrounding lowlands other high elevation regions. Due to its extreme environmental biological diversity, QTP an ideal region for studying adaptations of plant species under harsh conditions at multiple evolutionary levels. Many recent ecological studies have revealed functions distinctive...
Previous attempts to elucidate the drivers of speciation mechanisms and spatial distribution patterns biodiversity in mountain regions have treated different floras within a single geological region as one flora, ignoring potential contributions high habitat/ecosystem heterogeneity. Furthermore, current conservation strategies largely focus on forest ecosystems and/or specific flagship species, marginal ecosystems, leaving species these at risk. Here, we compared river valley subnival...
Background: Cushions are the typical nurse species of high-elevation environments. However, few studies have explored differences in facilitative power and environmental amelioration between plants different that share a common cushion morphology.Aims: To compare effects alpine their mechanism.Methods: We compared two co-occurring species, Potentilla articulata Arenaria polytrichoides on richness, Shannon–Wiener diversity evenness vascular plant assemblages Himalayas. In addition, we...
Abstract Questions What is the community‐level consequence of biotic processes, in particular importance facilitation, determining patterns diversity alpine plant communities Himalayan Hengduan Mountains? Does facilitation intensity change with environmental severity, and are these changes due to severity or nurse trait effects? Location Eleven dominated by cushion plants Mountains, within mountain system south‐central China. Methods We determined species richness abundance habitats created...
Talarombrevisone A (1), Which is a β-aminopropionate compound containing two polyketide units, and known compounds Ethyl linoleate (2) Talaromycin (3) were isolated from Talaromyces brevis, an endophytic fungus of Cupressus chengiana. Structure 1 was elucidated by infra-red, mass spectrometry, one-dimensional two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra. The inhibitory activity on phosphodiesterase the three investigated. Among them, 3 showed moderate with rate 58.35% at 271.6 μM.
Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) is an allotetraploid with two subgenomes descended from a common ancestor. Accordingly, its genome contains syntenic regions many duplicate genes, some of which may have retained their original functions, whereas others diverged. Here, we mapped quantitative trait loci (QTL) for stem rot resistance (SRR), disease caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and flowering time (FT) in recombinant inbred line population. The population was genotyped using B....
Abstract Questions As ecosystem engineers, alpine cushion and shrub species have been widely documented, but their roles as co‐existing nurse plants not explicitly compared. In this study, our questions were: (1) what are the differences in engineering effects between cushions shrubs ecosystems southwestern China? (2) influences on attributes of plant communities? (3) can we detect changes environmental stress with elevation shrubs? Study Site Three communities along an elevational gradient...
AimsStudying the ecological significance of highly specialized morphological traits evolved by alpine plants could help us to understand adaptation and evolution these under severe environment. We explored adaptive woolly overlapping leaves for reproduction in Eriophyton wallichii, a perennial herb native subnival belt Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains.
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) is an important cushion plant hotspot. However, the distribution of plants on QTP unknown, as are factors that drive distribution, limiting our understanding evolution species in region. In this study, we assessed spatial patterns total diversity (including taxonomic and phylogenetic) over entire compared with different typologies (i.e., compact vs. loose). We also examined how these were related to climatic features. Our results indicate southern hosts...
Arenaria polytrichoides (Caryophyllaceae) is a common cushion plant occurring at high elevations in the Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains, SW China. It frequently has other non-cushion species growing within its canopy, forming contrast with surrounding areas because it creates patches of higher diversity and greater biomass. In this study, we examined relationship between cushions associated along gradient size. A total 200 A. individuals were selected to fit four size classes. Field measurements...
Abstract A large number of studies have attempted to determine the mechanisms driving plant diversity and distribution on a global scale, but diverse endemic alpine herbs found in harsh environments, showing adaptive evolution, require more studies. Here, we selected 466 species from genus Saussurea, one northern hemisphere’s highest-altitude genera with high richness striking morphological traits, explore speciation adaptative evolution. We conducted phylogenetic signals analysis ancestral...
Flooding duration is a major factor determining wetland plant growth and community composition. While there have been extensive studies on how direct effects of flooding functional traits, very few tested the indirect these including those arising from competition. We hypothesized that would be shift in importance competition ability tolerance to traits along gradient. investigated gradient for two-dominant species (Carex cinerascens Phalaris arundinacea) lakeshore meadow Poyang Lake, China....

Abstract Background: Flower orientation is considered an evolutionary response to pollinators and abiotic factors. Several members of the genus Cremanthodium (Asteraceae) growing in alpine habitats Sino–Himalayas have conspicuously nodding capitula, function which not understood. Aims: We investigated influences capitula on floral thermal conditions, pollinator visitation rate, pollen viability achene production campanulatum. Results: (1) capitulum did modify internal but elongated...
Positive associations between alpine cushion plants and other species have been extensively studied. However, almost all studies focused on the macrofauna. Studies that investigated positive rhizospheric microbes limited to vegetation growing season. Here, we asked whether effects confer microbe communities vary with seasons. We assessed seasonal variations in bacterial diversity composition rhizosphere of two surrounding bare ground by employing a high throughput sequencing method targeting...
