M. T. Liu, belonging to the genus (family Tamaricaceae), is an endangered shrub endemic to arid basins in northwestern China.

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Leguminosae).

DC. is a perennial poisonous plant to livestock belonging to the genus Leguminosae, mainly distributed in Northwestern China. As a poisonous grass, this species protects plant diversity in degraded grasslands by sheltering adjacent plants.

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Schrenk from PacBio Sequel II Platform.

Schrenk plays an important role on ecological services in desert areas. The complete chloroplast genome was reported in this study using the PacBio Sequel II Platform. The chloroplast genome with a total size of 157,856 bp consists of two inverted repeats (IR, 27,673 bp) separated by a large single-copy region (LSC, 85,867 bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC, 16,645 bp).

[Preparation of Human Serum Albumin Micro/Nanotubes].

In this research, protein micro/nanotubes were fabricated by alternate layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of human serum albumin (HSA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) into polycarbonate (PC) membranes. The experimental conditions of pH values, ionic strength, the depositions cycles and the diameter of porous membrane were discussed. The morphology and composition of tubes were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).

Heterologous expression of antifreeze protein gene AnAFP from Ammopiptanthus nanus enhances cold tolerance in Escherichia coli and tobacco.

Antifreeze proteins are a class of polypeptides produced by certain animals, plants, fungi and bacteria that permit their survival under the subzero environments. Ammopiptanthus nanus is the unique evergreen broadleaf bush endemic to the Mid-Asia deserts. It survives at the west edge of the Tarim Basin from the disappearance of the ancient Mediterranean in the Tertiary Period.
