Rural ecology is a comprehensive field of study that takes the rural social-ecological-economic systems as the objective object and emphasizes spatial carrier governance. The development of rural ecology in the New Era embodies and implements comprehensively the core concepts of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Cha-racteristics for a New Era, including harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, rural revitalization, green development, and the comprehensive construction of a socialist modernized nation. Under the goal of Chinese-style modernization, rural ecology exhibits characteristics distinct from the past, such as the integration of research objects, the intersectionality of basic theories, the computational feature of technical methods, and the orientation of exporting outcomes.

The obligate pollination mutualism between figs (Ficus, Moraceae) and pollinator wasps (Agaonidae, Hymenoptera) is a classic example of cospeciation. However, examples of phylogenetic incongruencies between figs and their pollinators suggest that pollinators may speciate by host shifting. To investigate the mechanism of speciation by host shifting, we examined the phylogenetic relationships and population genetic structures of six closely related fig species and their pollinators from southern China and Taiwan-Ryukyu islands using various molecular markers.

Maintaining proteostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is critical for cell viability and plant survival under adverse conditions. The unfolded protein response (UPR) pathways interact with reactive oxygen species (ROS) to precisely trigger adaptive outputs or cell death under ER stress with varying degrees. However, little information is known about the relationship between UPR signalling and ROS regulation.

Understanding the process of nitrogen flow, emission, and utilization in rural systems is of great importance to reduce pollutant emissions caused by agricultural activities and to promote the sustainable utilization of nutrient resources. Based on the NUFER (nutrient flow in food chain, environment and resources use) model and nitrogen footprint approach, we proposed a nitrogen accounting framework for municipal-scale rural systems, and conducted a quantitative and time series-based comparative study on nitrogen flow, recycling, and footprint from the perspective of three subsystems, namely planting, animal husbandry, and rural human settlement in Shenyang from 1998 to 2018. The results showed that: 1) nitrogen utilization rates of the planting subsystem, animal husbandry subsystem, and rural human settlement subsystem were 36.

We herein reported the syntheses, structures, and magnetic properties of three dinuclear heterometallic MLn complexes, namely, [MLn(HL)(CHOH)(NO)](NO)·S (M = Co, Ln = Dy, S = MeOH (1); M = Zn, Ln = Dy, S = MeOH (2); M = Co, Ln = Y, S = MeNO (3), HL = 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis[2-(semicarbazono) propionylhydrazone]. Synthesized from the predesigned multidentate ligand HL, which has two different coordination pockets (smaller NO and larger NO pockets) suitable for either a 3d or a 4f metal center, all these complexes have very similar structures, where the M centers possess a pentagonal bipyramidal (PBP) geometry and the Ln sites have a tetradecahedron geometry. Magnetic measurements on these compounds revealed the existence of weak ferromagnetic coupling between the Co and Dy centers and the field-induced slow magnetic relaxation of all three complexes.

Article Synopsis
  • Coastal salt marsh habitats have led to specialized genetic adaptations in plant species, prompting an evaluation of DNA barcode markers in 53 Poaceae and 15 Chenopodiaceae species from both coastal and inland areas in China.
  • The study determined that the best DNA barcode for coastal salt-tolerant Poaceae was ITS, while matK was optimal for Chenopodiaceae, and increasing sampling from coastal habitats led to greater genetic diversity in specific plant species.
  • Results suggested that a larger sample size (11-15) enhances the assessment of genetic diversity among widely distributed species, improving the effectiveness of DNA barcoding.

Increasing grain yields is a major focus of crop breeders around the world. Here we report that overexpression of the rice microRNA (miRNA) OsmiR397, which is naturally highly expressed in young panicles and grains, enlarges grain size and promotes panicle branching, leading to an increase in overall grain yield of up to 25% in a field trial. To our knowledge, no previous report has shown a positive regulatory role of miRNA in the control of plant seed size and grain yield.

Vernalization-induced flowering is a cold-relevant adaptation in many species, but little is known about the genetic basis behind in Orchidaceae species. Here, we reported a collection of 15017 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from the vernalized axillary buds of an Orchidaceae species, Dendrobium nobile, which were assembled for 9616 unique gene clusters. Functional enrichment analysis showed that genes in relation to the responses to stresses, especially in the form of low temperatures, and those involving in protein biosynthesis and chromatin assembly were significantly overrepresented during 40 days of vernalization.

To isolate high-quality total RNA from Fallopia multiflora tuberous roots is difficult because of the presence of high levels of carbohydrates, phenolics, and other secondary metabolites. Since several procedures specialized for RNA isolation from polysaccharides and phenols rich tissues have resulted in poor yields, in this study, we developed a modified protocol that was derived from the traditional CTAB method. The protocol was able to produce high-quality and intact RNA from the tuberous roots of F.
