2022-11-18"Difficult Sweet Potato Road" - South China Botanical Garden of Chinese Academy of Sciences made an important breakthrough in the research on the genetic basis of sweet potato insect resistanceSweet potatoes , accounting for more than 60% of the world ' s total production . Sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas L.) are an important cash crop in the world, and China is the world's largest producer, consumer, and exporter of sweet potatoes, accounting for more than 60% of the world's total production. Sweet potato planting areas are mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, and frequent pests have become the ...Read More

2022-11-11The usefulness of the eddy flux tower in achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals at the Dinghushan biosphere reserve as demonstrated by recent important published researchProtection methods for regional forests in southern China .Ecosystem Carbon Exchange Characteristics in the Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve , a Dominant Subtropical Evergreen Forest Ecosystem ” was published in October.We observed seasonal trends in daily ecosystem carbon flux , indicative of sensitivity to climatic factors , such as air temperatu... The eddy flux tower at the Dinghushan biosphere reserve has been a very useful tool especially in measuring long-term carbon sequestration and other important meteorological parameters in the forest. The tower was set up in 2002, and it is the first observation station in a lower subtropical forest established by the Chinese Ecological Research ...Read More

2022-11-07New research progress on the positive plant-plant interactions over a long-term plant successionUnderstand community change and invasibility .Establishment stage and between native and exotic species .Specifically , positive interactions were more frequent during early establishment and less.Positive interactions involving native species were more frequent than those between exotic species . Positive interactions have been hypothesised to influence plant community dynamics and species invasions. However, their prevalence and importance relative to negative interactions remain unclear to understand community change and invasibility.Read More

Functional traits are plant attributes that can reflect plant life-history processes such as carbon acquisition, water transport and nutrient cycling, and include features associated with plant physiology, morphology and phenology. Plant demographic properties such as growth, mortality and recruitment are fundamental processes influencing specie...Read More

2022-11-02New research progress on the genomic consequences of mating system shifts in PrimulinaThe evolution of selfing from outcrossing has occurred frequently and has been recognized as one of the most common evolutionary transitions in flowering plants .And highlight the importance of distinguishing the relative contribution of mating system and demography on the genomic consequences associated with mating system evolution .Relaxed pur... The evolution of selfing from outcrossing has occurred frequently and has been recognized as one of the most common evolutionary transitions in flowering plants. Shifts to selfing from outcrossing are expected to produce a series of predictable genomic changes, but empirical evidence of genome selfing syndrome is very few explored.Read More

In September 2020, China’s president, Xi Jinping, announced the nation’s CO2 emissions would peak before 2030 and carbon neutrality would be achieved by 2060, in what has been termed a “double carbon policy.” In order to achieve this ambitious goal, China will have to use all the resources at its disposal to reduce and sequester as much...
