By the methods of space-time substitution and PVC tube closed-top in situ incubation, this paper studied the soil mineralized-N content, N mineralization rate, and N uptake rate in Phyllostachys edulis-broadleaf mixed forest (PBMF) formed by P. edulis expansion and its adjacent evergreen broadleaf forest (EBF) in Dagangshan Mountain of Jiangxi Province, China. There existed the same spatiotemporal variation trend of soil total mineralized-N (TMN) content between the two forests. The annual average N mineralization rate was slightly lower in PBMF than in EBF. In PBMF, soil N mineralization was dominated by ammonification; while in EBF, soil ammonification and nitrification were well-matched in rate, and soil nitrification was dominated in growth season (from April to October). The N uptake by the plants in PBMF and EBF in a year was mainly in the form of NH4+-N, but that in EBF in growth season was mainly in the form of NO3- -N. These findings indicated that the expansion of P. edulis into EBF could promote the ammonification of soil N, weakened soil nitrification and total N mineralization, and also, increased the NH4+-N uptake but decreased the NO3- -N and TMN uptake by the plants.

Chalcone synthase (CHS), the first key structural enzyme in the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway, plays a crucial role in regulating plant responses to abiotic stresses and hormone signaling. However, its molecular functions remain largely unknown in , which is one of the most economically and ecologically important bamboo species and the most widely distributed one in China. This study identified 17 genes in and classified them into seven subgroups, showing a closer evolutionary relationship to genes from rice.

Mussels and tubeworms have evolved similar adhesive systems to cope with the hydrodynamics of intertidal environments. Both secrete adhesive proteins rich in DOPA, a post-translationally modified amino acid playing essential roles in their permanent adhesion. DOPA is produced by the hydroxylation of tyrosine residues by tyrosinase enzymes, which can also oxidize it further into dopaquinone.

Passion fruit ( Sims) is a Passifloraceae plant with high economic value. Crown rot caused by is a major fungal disease, which can seriously reduce the yield and quality of passion fruit. Receptor-like proteins (RLPs), which act as pathogen recognition receptors, are widely involved in plant immune responses and developmental processes.

Bamboo forests are vulnerable to extreme cold, as well as drought caused by declining rainfall or persistent hot, under global climate change. The C-repeat binding factors/dehydration-responsive element binding protein 1s (CBFs/DREB1s) are vital to acquiring tolerance to deal with the changing climate in plants. Herein, we investigated the evolution of CBFs/DREB1s in four temperate or tropical woody bamboos.

Article Synopsis
- HECT E3 ubiquitin ligases are crucial for plant growth, development, and stress responses, but their functions in this particular context are largely unexplored.
- A detailed genome-wide analysis was conducted to investigate the evolutionary relationships, gene structure, and environmental stress-response elements of the HECT gene family, identifying key candidate genes linked to abiotic stress tolerance.
- The study found that the gene PeHECT1 has significant roles in stress response and is activated by the transcription factor PeERF3, suggesting its importance in enhancing plant resilience to environmental challenges.
