Identification and transcriptome analysis of a photosynthesis deficient mutant of Populus davidiana Dode.

Photosynthesis is the main source of energy for plants to sustain growth and development. Abnormalities in photosynthesis may cause defects in plant development. The elaborate regulatory mechanism underlying photosynthesis remains unclear.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of a triploid poplar Populus alba 'Berolinensis'.

Many recent studies have provided significant insights into polyploid breeding, but limited research has been carried out on trees. The genomic information needed to understand growth and response to abiotic stress in polyploidy trees is largely unknown, but has become critical due to the threats to forests imposed by climate change. Populus alba 'Berolinensis,' also known "Yinzhong poplar," is a triploid poplar from northeast China.

Roseicella aquatilis sp. nov., isolated from freshwater lake.

A novel Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, ellipsoidal-shaped, red-pigmented, facultatively aerobic strain designated NE82 was isolated from mud sample from Jiugongli Lake in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. Optimal growth occurred at 28-33 °C (range 15-42 °C) and pH 7.0-7.

sp. nov., isolated from sediment of sea cucumber culture pond.

A Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped (0.3-0.4×1.

sp. nov., isolated from Antarctic soil.

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped, cold-tolerant bacterium, designated F01003, was isolated from soil sampled near Happiness Bay on the west coast of Antarctica. Strain F01003 was found to grow at 4-30 °C (optimum, 25 °C), pH 5.5-8.

Pedobacter changchengzhani sp. nov., isolated from soil of Antarctica.

A Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile, pink and rod-shaped bacterium, designated E01020, was isolated from soil collected from the Chinese Great Wall Station, Antarctica. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain E01020 is a member of the genus Pedobacter, related to Pedobacter alluvionis DSM 19624 (96.8% similarity), Pedobacter agri JCM 15120 (96.

Hanstruepera crassostreae sp. nov., a novel marine bacterium of the family Flavobacteriaceae isolated from an oyster.

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile, aerobic and orange-pigmented marine bacterium, designated strain L53, was isolated from an oyster sample collected from the coast of Weihai, China (122.0° E 37.5° N).
