Transcriptome Analysis Identifies Key Genes Involved in Response and Recovery to High Heat Stress Induced by Fire in .

Fire-resistant tree species play a crucial role in forest fire prevention, utilizing several physiological and molecular mechanisms to respond to extreme heat stress. Many transcription factors (TFs) and genes are known to be involved in the regulatory network of heat stress response in plants. However, their roles in response to high temperatures induced by fire remain less understood.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Dandy, 1928) (Magnoliaceae), an important fire-resistant tree species.

(Dandy, 1928) is an evergreen broad-leaved tree species native to South China. This species has great ecological and economic importance. However, the genomic study of has lagged far behind.

A Comparative Study of Genetic Responses to Short- and Long-Term Habitat Fragmentation in a Distylous Herb (Rubiaceae).

The genetic effects of habitat fragmentation are complex and are influenced by both species traits and landscape features. For plants with strong seed or pollen dispersal capabilities, the question of whether the genetic erosion of an isolated population becomes stronger or is counterbalanced by sufficient gene flow across landscapes as the timescales of fragmentation increase has been less studied. In this study, we compared the population structure and genetic diversity of a distylous herb, (Rubiaceae), in two contrasting island systems of southeast China.
