Genetic diversity, population structure, and DNA fingerprinting of Ailanthus altissima var. erythrocarpa based on EST-SSR markers.

Ailanthus altissima var. erythrocarpa is an A. altissima variety with high economic, ecological and ornamental value, but there have been no reports on the development of SSR primers for it.

Effect of T-DNA Integration on Growth of Transgenic × cv. Neva Underlying Field Stands.

Multigene cotransformation has been widely used in the study of genetic improvement in crops and trees. However, little is known about the unintended effects and causes of multigene cotransformation in poplars. To gain insight into the unintended effects of T-DNA integration during multigene cotransformation in field stands, here, three lines (A1-A3) of × cv.

Tolerance of phyllospheric Wickerhamomyces anomalus to BDE-3 and heavy metals.

Few research have focused on the potential microorganism and gene resources for plant resistance to polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) and heavy metal (HM) co-contamination. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of phyllospheric Wickerhamomyces anomalus bioremediation ability on PBDE and HM co-contamination. The results showed that the toleration capability of W.

Niches and Seasonal Changes, Rather Than Transgenic Events, Affect the Microbial Community of × 'Neva'.

Exploring the complex spatiotemporal changes and colonization mechanism of microbial communities will enable microbial communities to be better used to serve agricultural and ecological operations. In addition, evaluating the impact of transgenic plants on endogenous microbial communities is necessary for their commercial application. In this study, microbial communities of × 'Neva' carrying c-Cry3A-BADH genes (ECAA1 line), × 'Neva' carrying genes (ECAB1 line), and non-transgenic × 'Neva' from rhizosphere soil, roots, and phloem collected in different seasons were compared and analyzed.

Physiological and biochemical responses and microscopic structure changes of Populus tomentosa Carr seedlings to 4-BDE exposure.

Populus species are very effective in remediation of contaminants. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are commonly used as flame retardants and are known to be persistent environmental pollutants. Numerous studies have shown that PBDEs are rising in human tissues and biota.
