Interspecific variations in phenotypic plasticity of trees affected by climate change may alter ecosystem function of forests. Seedlings of four common tree species (Castanopsis fissa, Michelia macclurei, Dalbergia odorifera and Ormosia pinnata) in subtropical plantations of southern China w...

　　Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) trees are commonly represented in tropical forests, but their response to warming is generally not known. We conducted a long-term (9-year) field experiment in subtropical China by translocating AM tree species (Machilus breviflora and Sc...

　　Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157: H7 is a subset of the Shiga toxin-producing food-borne pathogen that causes diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome. The reservoirs of EHEC O157: H7 are ruminants, mainly bovine. Bovine vaccination has been used to prevent...

　　Recreation in nature provides multiple physical and mental health benefits to residents. People in cities, especially large ones, have high demand for natural landscape for recreational purposes. However, these natural landscapes often assemble in rural areas. Considering the mismatch of rec...

　　Increasing rice yield is a target of rice breeding, and improving photosynthetic efficiency has the potential to increase crop yields and reduce food shortages. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) function in development and in response to biotic and abiotic stresses, but little is known their roles in regul...
