Introduction: The research on plant leaf morphology is of great significance for understanding the development and evolution of plant organ morphology. As a relict plant, the leaf morphology typically exhibits bifoliate and peltate forms. However, throughout its long evolutionary history, Ginkgo leaves have undergone diverse changes.

Background: , as an important plant for ecological protection, is a pioneer tree species for afforestation in arid and barren mountainous areas. Lignin has the functions of water and soil conservation, strengthening plant mechanical strength and resisting adverse environmental effects and plays an important role in the ecological protection benefits of .

Methods: In this study, annual dynamic observations of the lignin content in roots, stems and leaves of one-year-old seedlings of a half-sib family were carried out, and combined transcriptome and metabolome analyses were carried out during three key stages of stem development.

Branching in woody plants affects their ecological benefits and impacts wood formation. To obtain genome-wide insights into the transcriptome changes and regulatory mechanisms associated with branching, we performed high-throughput RNA sequencing to characterize cDNA libraries generated from active buds of Populus deltoides CL. 'zhonglin2025' (BC) and Populus × zhaiguanheibaiyang (NC).

In plants, sex determination is a comprehensive process of correlated events, which involves genes that are differentially and/or specifically expressed in distinct developmental phases. Exploring gene expression profiles from different sex types will contribute to fully understanding sex determination in plants. In this study, we conducted RNA-sequencing of female and male buds (FB and MB) as well as ovulate strobilus and staminate strobilus (OS and SS) of Ginkgo biloba to gain insights into the genes potentially related to sex determination in this species.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study analyzed 21 Ginkgo biloba cultivars from various countries, discovering high genetic similarity coefficients and clustering results, indicating that cultivars from the same region did not group together.
  • * Eight specific cultivars were identified as significant germplasms for ornamental Ginkgo biloba, based on their genetic diversity and relationship analysis.

The China possesses more than 70% Ginkgo resources in the world. The purposes of this research are to collect fine seedling and grafting clones in China, to probe genetic law on flavone glycosides and terpenes on Ginkgo leaves, and select leaf-used cultivars of high-pharmaceutical composition. In this research, we have collected 87 clones from 13 provenances and have carried out randomized block experiment at Tancheng, Laizhou and Yaoxiang in Shandong Province.
