is a tiny lepiotaceous fungi. During our 3 years fieldwork, we found four new species of from northeastern China. A phylogenetic study of a combined dataset of ITS+nrLSU+rpb2+tef1-α revealed that and are sister clades; belongs to complex; formed a clade not closely related with any other; and sp.

Soil magnesium deficiency is evident in citrus production, which ultimately leads to failure of normal plant growth and development, as well as decreased productivity. Citrus is mainly propagated by grafting, so it is necessary to fully understand the different regulatory mechanisms of rootstock and scion response to magnesium deficiency.

However, how environmental factors affect honey quality remains unclear. Based on untargeted metabolomics and using UPLC Q-Orbitrap MS, we analyzed 3596 metabolites in 51 honey samples from Yunnan and Shennongjia.

The origin of Citrus species has long been debated and less is known about the Aurantioideae. Here, we compiled the genome sequences of 314 accessions, de novo assembled the genomes of 12 species and constructed a graph-based pangenome for Aurantioideae.

'Yunning No.1' lemon, a mutant of Eureka lemon, is originally found in Yunnan province of China and is the main cultivated lemon variety there. In this study, we assembled and annotated its chloroplast genome using Illumina Hiseq-2500 whole genome re-sequencing data.

This study investigated the influence of oleocellosis on the membrane fatty acids and wax in lemon fruit rinds at the morphological, physiological, metabolic and molecular levels by using a variety with a high incidence rate of oleocellosis (green lemon). Oleocellosis-damaged rinds showed loose and flaky wax layers with more fissures on the surface, as well as higher contents of C16 and C18 fatty acids and very long chain (VLC) fatty alkanes while lower contents of VLC fatty aldehydes.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA large number of biologically active compounds are present in ripe citrus fruits. However, few studies have been focused on the changes in flavonoids and the evolution of antioxidant activity during citrus fruit growth. In this study, fruits of five citrus cultivars cultivated in China were sampled at 60-210 days post-anthesis (DPA) at intervals of 30 days.

It is therefore very important to develop a scientific, systematic, and accurate index system for evaluating the protection efficacy of national nature reserves in China. Using methods of frequency statistics, expert consultation, analytic hierarchy process, and demonstration survey, we present a novel index system for evaluating the protection efficacy of Chinese national nature reserves for terrestrial vertebrates (excluding migratory birds) over a 10-year period.
