Cultivar mixtures increase crop yields and temporal yield stability globally. A meta-analysis
Cultivar mixtures have been proposed as a way to increase diversity and thereby improve plant production, but our understanding of the effects of mixing cultivars on crop diseases and resource-use efficiency r...

Soil properties and plant diversity co-regulate ecosystem multifunctionality of subalpine primary dark coniferous forest on the eastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
Plants and soils are key factors in maintaining ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF). Yet, it remains unclear how climate factors regulate the EMF through soil properties and plant diversity of different plant f...

Broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) tolerates soil salinity by regulating salt-tolerance mechanism and resha** rhizosphere microorganisms
Increased soil salinization caused by natural or human activities is the leading cause of soil degradation. Cultivating salt-tolerant crops is an effective way to cope with soil salinity. However, the key sali...

A 5.5-kb LTR-retrotransposon insertion inside phytochrome B gene (CsPHYB) results in long hypocotyl and early flowering in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)
The novel spontaneous long hypocotyl and early flowering (lhef) mutation in cucumber is due to a 5551-bp LTR-retrotransposon insertion in CsPHYB gene encoding PHYTOCHROME B, which plays a major role in regulating...

Mycorrhizal and rhizospheric fungal community assembly differs during subalpine forest restoration on the eastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
Mycorrhizosphere is the interface between roots and soil where a myriad of microorganisms mediate plant growth, nutrient acquisition and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress, and result in driving ecosystem ...
