[Photosynthetic parameters and chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics of Pleioblastus kongosanensis f. aureostriaus under drought stress].

A pot experiment was conducted to study the variations of Pleioblastus kongosanensis f. aureostriaus plant morphology, leaf water content (LWC) , leaf water potential (LWP) , photosynthetic parameters, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, and soil water content (SWC) under natural drought stress, as well as the relationships between these variations and environmental factors. On the 17th day under the stress, the P.

A molecular phylogenetic and fruit evolutionary analysis of the major groups of the paleotropical woody bamboos (Gramineae: Bambusoideae) based on nuclear ITS, GBSSI gene and plastid trnL-F DNA sequences.

This study presented the first molecular phylogenetic analysis of the major clades of woody bamboos of the Old World tropics based on nuclear and chloroplast sequences (ITS, GBSSI and trnL-F). Sequence data from 53 species, representing 17 paleotropical woody bamboo genera, were analyzed using the maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference methods. All examined ingroup taxa were clustered into two clades, i.

[Soil microelements under different vegetation restoration patterns in yellow soil slope region of mid-subtropics].

With the Nüerzhai watershed in Wuling Mountain as a case, this paper studied the contents and availabilities of soil microelements and their relationships with soil organic matter and pH value in yellow soil slope region of mid-subtropics under seven typical vegetation restoration patterns, i. e., Pinus massoniana natural forest (I), Cunninghamia lanceolata plantation (II), Eucommia ulmoides plantation (III), Vernicia fordii plantation (IV), Machilus pingii secondary forest (V), Phyllostachys edulis - C.
