Soil C, N and P stoichiometry in different forest stand types in the middle and lower reaches of the Beijiang River, China.

We examined the vertical distribution characteristics of soil organic carbon (C), total nitrogen (N), total phosphorus (P) and their ecological stoichiometric ratios in 0-80 cm soil profile under three forest stand types in the middle and lower reaches of the Beijiang River, including broad-leaved forest, coniferous forest, and mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest. The results showed that soil C, N and P contents of the three forest stand types were 12.17-14.

GraphDPA: Predicting drug-pathway associations by graph convolutional networks.

Pathway-based drug discovery is a promising strategy for the discovery of drugs with low toxicity and side effects. However, identifying the associations between drug and targeting pathways is challenging for this method. The formation of various biomolecular interaction databases and the development of neural network technology provide new ways for the large-scale prediction of drug-pathway associations.

Effective use of sequence information to predict CRISPR-Cas9 off-target.

The CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system is the third-generation gene-editing technology that has been widely used in biomedical applications. However, off-target effects occurring CRISPR/Cas9 system has been a challenging problem it faces in practical applications. Although many predictive models have been developed to predict off-target activities, current models do not effectively use sequence pair information.

[Relationships between leaf functional traits of Machilus pauhoi understory seedlings from different provenances and geographical environmental factors.].

To understand the adaptation mechanism of Machilus pauhoi seedlings to environmental changes, leaf functional traits of M. pauhoi seedlings from nine provenances, as well as relationships between leaf traits and environmental factors were analyzed. The results showed that leaf functional traits of M.

[Characteristics of leaf carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus stoichiometry in relation to plant size of Machilus pauhoi].

To explore the effects of stand age on variation patterns of leaf C, N, P stoichiometric characteristics of Machilus pauhoi, two stands, i.e., 9 and 13 years old, were selected.
