Abstract:
... Droughts, due to global warming, have become a major abiotic stress for plants. Rhododendron pulchrum is among the top 10 most sought-after flowers in China; however, because of its sensitivity to water, it is often drought-stressed in landscaping practices. This has restricted its promotion in garden landscaping. Thus, we performed transcriptomic analyses of this species under moderate to severe ...

However, there has been little work on cloning aquaporin (AQP) family genes and characterizing their functions in plants under various environmental stimuli. In this study, a total of 18 full-length AQP genes were identified in Tamarix ...

Nucleotide diversity, correlations to environmental conditions, and deviations from standard neutral models were examined in eight candidate genes for drought response of European oaks Quercus petraea and Quercus robur. Baseline genetic parameters were calculated and deviation from neutrality was tested using Tajima’s D, and Fu and Li’s D and F statistics. Population structure was investigated usi ...

Abstract:
... Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. Ex. A. de. Juss. Müell-Arg.) is the prime source of natural rubber. Domestication of rubber began since 1876 with Wickham collecting 70,000 seeds from Upper Amazon and transported them to Kew Botanic Gardens. Somehow, rubber trees covering millions of hectares are believed to be derived from “22 seedlings” of Wickham’s original stock. Improving dry rubber yield is the ex ...
