Climate change favors expansion of three species in China.

has become one of the most widely planted species in tropical and subtropical regions in China, with important economic, ecological, and social values. However, it is currently unclear how climate change will affect different species. Therefore, it is urgent to investigate the potential distribution and dynamics of under current and future climate scenarios.

Gene of Chinese White Pine Beetle (): Function and Response to Environmental Treatments.

(Tsai and Li) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) is regarded as the most destructive forest pest in the Qinling and Bashan Mountains of China. The sex determination of plays a significant role in the reproduction of its population. In recent years, the role of the gene in sex determination in other insects has been reported.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and exogenous Ca application synergistically enhance salt and alkali resistance in perennial ryegrass through diverse adaptive strategies.

The challenge of soil salinization and alkalization, with its significant impact on crop productivity, has raised growing concerns with global population growth and enhanced environmental degradation. Although arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and calcium ions (Ca) are known to enhance plant resistance to stress, their combined effects on perennial ryegrass' tolerance to salt and alkali stress and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate the roles of Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Rhizophagus irregularis and exogenous Ca application in molecular and physiological responses to salt-alkali stress.

Response of growth and physiological enzyme activities in to various host plants.

Morphological attributes and chemical composition of host plants shape growth and development of phytophagous insects via influences on their behavior and physiological processes. This research delves into the relationship between and various host plants through studuying how feeding on different host tree species affect growth, development, and physiological enzyme activities. We examined response to three distinct host plants: , and .

Effects of different Ficus feeding experiences on host preference of Perina nuda larvae (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae).

Perina nuda (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) is a serious pest of banyan trees (Ficus spp.), which is distributed in South China, but little is known about the host preference on the different banyan tree species. To address this gap, we conducted experiments to investigate larval feeding preferences, assessing the impact of feeding experience in both choice and no-choice conditions.

Role of melatonin in enhancing arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis and mitigating cold stress in perennial ryegrass ( L.).

Melatonin is a biomolecule that affects plant development and is involved in protecting plants from environmental stress. However, the mechanisms of melatonin's impact on arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis and cold tolerance in plants are still unclear. In this research, AM fungi inoculation and exogenous melatonin (MT) were applied to perennial ryegrass ( L.
