Dynamic variations and sources of nitrate during dry season in the Lijiang River were analyzed using the nitrate concentrations and N and O isotope techniques, from the samples obtained from 13 sections in the Lijiang River from September 28, 2016 to December 28, 2016. Results show that the nitrate concentrations range from 0.46 to 18.48 mg·L, with an average of 6.18 mg·L, and that the nitrate levels are low during the dry season. Nitrate concentrations in the Lijiang River increase slowly from September to December, mainly being influenced by rainfall, runoff, and human activity. Nitrate concentrations in the Lijiang River from upstream to downstream show a trend of "increase-decrease-increase." Nitrate in the Lijiang River during the dry season mainly originates from organic nitrogen in soil, human and animal feces, sewage (largely living sewage), human and animal waste, and tourism. In order to better protect the water quality of the Lijiang River, the urban sewage pipe network must be expanded, in addition to building small sewage treatment facilities and strengthening tourism management and environmental awareness.

Our previous study found that WRINKLED1-like (DpWRI1-like) was a key regulatory factor of lipid biosynthesis in . gene and target genes of DpWRI1-like have been obtained in our previous study, but the interacting proteins of DpWRI1-like are unclear now, which has limited a deep understanding of the function of DpWRI1-like. Yeast two-hybrid was widely used to identify protein-protein interaction.

Article Synopsis
  • Karstification helps lower CO levels in the atmosphere and soil, making it vital to understand karst carbon sinks for climate change research.
  • The study focused on the Lijiang River Basin, where relationships between carbon concentrations and environmental factors like elevation and rainfall were analyzed over 14 months.
  • Using advanced regression algorithms, accurate models for predicting dissolved inorganic and organic carbon concentrations were developed, showing consistent trends and enabling predictions for future carbon sink behavior in the region.

Background: Vernicia montana and V. fordii are economically important woody oil species in the Euphorbiaceae that have great industrial oil and ornamental greening properties, however, the wild resources of Vernicia trees have been reduced because of their habitat destruction. Considering the diverse economic and ecological importance of Vernicia species, it is important to collect more molecular data to determine the genetic differences between V.
