To further explore the mechanism behind the allelopathic effects of Flaveria bidentis, we investigated the allelopathic effects of water extracts from Flaveria bidentis leaves on three plants, Shanghai green, barnyard grass and wheat. The results showed that the water extracts inhibited the germination potential, germination rate, seedling height, root length, chlorophyll content, fresh weight and dry weight of the three plants, and increasing the extract concentration further increased the inhibitory effect. The allelopathic effects of the water extracts from Flaveria bidentis leaves on the three receptor plants differed in strength from strong to weak as follows: Shanghai green > barnyard grass > wheat. Thus, wheat had strong resistance to the allelopathic effects of Flaveria bidentis and could be planted in area where Flaveria bidentis occurs. The effect of the water extract from Flaveria bidentis leaves on the seed germination and seedling growth of barnyard grass was obvious; thus, this extract could be used for the biological control of barnyard grass.

The genus Flaveria has been studied extensively as a model for the evolution of C photosynthesis. Thus far, molecular analyses in this genus have been limited due to a dearth of genomic information and the lack of a rapid and efficient transformation protocol. Since their development, Agrobacterium-mediated transient transformation protocols have been instrumental in understanding many biological processes in a range of plant species.

C species have evolved more than 60 times independently from C ancestors. This multiple and parallel evolution of the complex C trait suggests common underlying evolutionary mechanisms, which could be identified by comparative analysis of closely related C and C species. Efficient C function depends on a distinctive leaf anatomy that is characterised by enlarged, chloroplast-rich bundle sheath cells and narrow vein spacing.

C photosynthesis is often more efficient than C under steady-state conditions. However, the C CCM depends on inter-cellular metabolite concentration gradients, which must increase following increases in light intensity and could decrease rates of C photosynthesis under fluctuating light.

Biochar is a widely proposed solution for improving degraded soil in coastal wetland ecosystems. However, the impacts of biochar addition on the soil and plant communities in the wetland remains largely unknown. In this study, we conducted a greenhouse experiment using soil seed bank from a coastal saline-alkaline wetland.

The strategy of aqueous two-phase flotation (ATPF) followed by preparative high performance liquid chromatography (prep-HPLC) was established and used for the separation of astragalin from Flaveria bidentis. In the ATPF, the effects of sublation solvent, solution pH, (NH)SO concentration in aqueous solution, cosolvent, N flow rate, flotation time and volumes of the PEG phase on the recovery of astragalin were investigated in detail, and the optimal conditions of ATPF were selected: 50 wt% PEG1000 ethanol solvent as the flotation solvent, pH 4, 350 g/L of (NH)SO concentration in 5 % ethanol aqueous phase, 40 mL/min of N flow rate, 30 min of flotation time, 10.0 mL of flotation solvent volume and twice.
