Improving accumulation of heavy metals (HMs) by plants is an important pathway for constructed wetland (CW) to alleviate the environmental risks caused by their release. This study aims to regulate HMs (Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Cd) accumulated by Acorus calamus L. in the sandy substrate CW with different nitrogen forms, including ammonia (NH), nitrate (NO‾), and NH/NO‾ (1:1) in synthetic tailwaters.

The success of Wolbachia is due to efficient vertical transmission by the host maternal germline. Wolbachia's behavior during host oogenesis is well characterized, although their behavior during embryogenesis is unclear.

It is unclear how the regulation of host oocyte development influences location and the mechanistic basis of transmission. Here, we investigated whether vitellogenin influences transmission in .
