Background: P. yunnanensis, a distinctive economic tree species native to Yunnan Province in China, possesses axillary buds that serve as superior material for asexual propagation. However, under natural growth conditions, the differentiation of these axillary buds is notably scarce.

Sims (2n = 18) is a perennial plant with high utilization values, but its spontaneous polyploidy in nature has yet to be seen. Thus, this study aims to enhance our understanding of polyploidy and provide rudimentary knowledge for breeding new cultivars. In this study, colchicine-induced tetraploid (2n = 36) was used as experimental material (T1, T2, and T3) to explore the variances between it and its diploid counterpart in morphology, physiology, and biochemical characteristics, and a comparison of their performance under cold stress was conducted.

(Franch), a species endemic to southwestern China, provides significant ecological and economic benefits. The quality of afforestation can be enhanced by promoting high-quality sprout growth. This study analyzed the effects of six fertilization treatments following top pruning: T1 (N: 0 g/plant; P: 0 g/plant), T2 (N: 0 g/plant; P: 2 g/plant), T3 (N: 0 g/plant; P: 4 g/plant), T4 (N: 0.

As one of the most influential environmental factors, drought stress greatly impacts the development and production of plants. Triploid-induced Sims 'Mantianxing' is an important new cultivar for multi-resistance variety selective breeding, which is one of the breeding essential targets. However, the performance of triploid 'Mantianxing' under drought stress is unknown.

is an important component of China's economic development and forest ecosystems. The growth of seedlings experienced a slow growth phase, which led to a long seedling cultivation period. However, asexual reproduction can ensure the stable inheritance of the superior traits of the mother tree and also shorten the breeding cycle.

The regeneration of shoots from endosperm tissue is a highly effective method to obtain triploid plants. In this study, we elucidated the establishment of an in vitro regeneration system from endosperm culture for the production of Passiflora edulis "Mantianxing." The highest callus induction rate (83.

Background: Simao pine is one of the primary economic tree species for resin and timber production in southwest China. The exploitation and utilization of Simao pine are constrained by the relatively lacking of genetic information. Construction a fine genetic linkage map and detecting quantitative trait locis (QTLs) for growth-related traits is a prerequisite section of Simao Pine's molecular breeding program.

In this study, we reported and characterized the complete chloroplast genome sequence of . The chloroplast genome was determined to be 158,250 bp in length. It contained large single-copy (LSC) and small single-copy (SSC) regions of 84,929 bp and 12,663 bp, respectively, which were separated by a pair of 30,329 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions.

A field experiment was conducted using a 3 × 3 orthogonal regression design to explore the growth promotion of one-year-old Yunnan pine seedlings (Pinus yunnanensis Franch.) in response to foliar application of IAA (indole-3-acetic acid) at rates of 0, 200 and 400 mg·L(-1) and IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) at rates of 0, 200 and 400 mg·L(-1) in order to promote the growth during the seedlings' early stage. The experiment was conducted at the Lufeng Village Forest Farm of Yiliang County in Kunming, Yunnan, China.
