Understanding migratory routes is crucial for the conservation of birds and their habitats. Zhejiang is a crucial stopover and wintering area for birds in the East Asian-Australasian Flyway; however, detailed information on this area, and particularly on connections between coastal areas, is limited. By synthesizing ringed and recapture records from local bird-ringing projects and re-sighting community science data (208 records of 35 species), we established migratory connectivity between the Zhejiang coast and nine countries (i.

Article Synopsis
  • Flavonoids are important secondary metabolites in safflower, contributing to plant growth and human health, yet research on the biosynthetic genes, particularly for quinochalcones, is limited.
  • A gene called CtF3H was isolated and confirmed to relate to flavonoid production, showing high similarity to F3H genes in other plants and was found in both the nucleus and cytosol of cells.
  • Transcriptome analysis revealed differing expression patterns of CtF3H between two safflower types under methyl jasmonate treatment, with an increase in specific flavonoids in quinochalcone-type safflower and different accumulation patterns in flavonol-type safflower.
