To explore the effects of different light intensities on the physiological growth of Larix gmelinii seedlings, this study assessed three height grades of L. gmelinii seedlings (≤0.5–1, 0.5–1, and 1-3 m) under the following treatments: full light (control), 65% NS (natural sunshine), 35% NS, and 10% NS. After treatment, photosynthetic pigment content, light response curve, CO 2 response curve, Chlorophyll Fluorescence and Diurnal Variations in Photosynthesis were assessed. Shading increased the photosynthetic pigment contents of L. gmelinii seedlings and young trees and played a positive role in the adaptation of L. gmelinii seedlings and young trees to low-light environments. The maximum net photosynthetic rate, maximum carboxylation rate, maximum photoelectron transmission rate, and utilization efficiency of acetone phosphate of L. gmelinii (1–3 m) considerably increased under the 65% NS treatment, showed the strongest photoinhibition resistance and a high proportion of the open PSII reaction center. The best shade treatment for young L. gmelinii trees at 1–3 m was 65% NS, which indicates that this treatment can improve the photosynthetic capacity of young L. gmelinii trees. However, for the growth of smaller L. gmelinii seedlings, an environment with greater light intensity is more suitable.","PeriodicalId":7975,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ecology and Environmental Research","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136307755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The genetic diversity of 20 Abiu germplasm resources was determined using SCoT molecular marker technology. A total of 361 bands were amplified using 24 selected primers, including 309 polymorphic bands, with an average polymorphism ratio (PPB) of 85.60%. The number of alleles ( Na ) in the population was 1.9501, number of effective alleles ( Ne ) was 1.4659, gene diversity index ( H ) was 0.2806, and Shannon diversity index ( I ) was 0.4314, indicating high genetic diversity among the materials. The results of cluster analysis showed that the inter-specific genetic coefficient of 20 varieties of Abiu was between 0.53-0.76, and the results of principal component analysis were consistent with those of cluster analysis. The analysis of the population structure revealed that the 20 Abiu samples could be categorized into seven distinct groups. Of all the tested materials, 14 samples had diverse genetic backgrounds and complex genetic compositions, accounting for 70% of the tested materials, suggesting that the population genetics of the 20 samples had a rich genetic basis and complex and diverse sources. SCoT, which is an effective molecular marker, can be used to analyze the genetic diversity of the germplasm resources of Abiu. This study will be useful for the identification, collection, classification, protection, and evaluation of Abiu germplasm resources.","PeriodicalId":7975,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ecology and Environmental Research","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136368160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of different parts of plants as nutraceuticals to boost animal productivity is on the rise because of the ban on the use of antibiotic growth promoters in animal diets, and the presumption that medicinal plants have no adverse effects on animals. Analytical studies have shown that tropical plants are rich sources of beneficial phytochemicals and essential nutrients with minimal concentrations of anti-nutrients. However, most of the research on tropical medicinal plants is focused on their phytochemical with less attention given to their trace element composition and concentration. Therefore, detailed knowledge of the trace element content of tropical medicinal plants is essential in maximising their use in livestock production. Moreso, published data on trace mineral values of tropical medicinal plants used in animal production are fragmented in the literature, making it difficult to use this important information in the decision-making process. Thus, the purpose of this paper was to condense evidence on the manganese, zinc, copper, and iron content of some tropical plants used in animal production as feedstuffs or to treat a variety of ailments, as well as factors that affect their uptake and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. This paper will also review the roles of trace minerals in enzyme systems and performance indicators of animals on dietary trace element salt supplementation.","PeriodicalId":7975,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ecology and Environmental Research","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136307216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Senna italica is indigenous to the desert and has important ecological and economic value in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) . Plant microbial endophytes and rhizosphere contribute significantly to plant growth, development, health, and ecological function. The variety of endophytic bacteria and rhizosphere associated with S. italica is still unknown. In this work, the Illumina MiSeq sequencing of bacterial 16S rDNA was used to examine the structure of the bacterial communities associated with various tissues, including roots, leaves, and rhizosphere soils. A total of 840.242 sequences and 1142 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were obtained. Cyanobacteria were the most abundant bacterial phylum in endophyte samples, followed by Actinobacteria ; and Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria were the most abundant phyla in rhizosphere soil samples. According to predictive metagenome research, endophytic bacteria and rhizosphere serve vital functional roles in S. italica's ability to tolerate abiotic stress. This conclusion could facilitate the study of the ecological functions of endophytic bacteria and rhizosphere and their interactions with S. italica to identify novel organisms that may have a role in abiotic stress resistance in the plant. Where there is still much about the endophytes and rhizosphere microbiome that may be discovered with more study.","PeriodicalId":7975,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ecology and Environmental Research","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136307829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The problem of continuous cropping obstacle has seriously restricted the development of the ginseng industry. In view of the little research on the mechanism of ginseng crop disorder, this study was conducted to investigate the ginseng crop disorder-related miRNAs and their target genes for the sustainability of the ginseng industry. A total of 376 miRNAs were obtained from all the tissue samples of the Continuous Cropping obstacles (CCO) and Control Check (CK). 121 miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed in the ginseng. Then, the target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs were enriched and found to be involved in phytohormone-related regulation, MAPK signaling pathway - plant, amino and nucleotide sugar metabolism, and monoterpene biosynthesis, suggesting that the alteration of these related pathways may play a key role in causing ginseng crop disorder. Finally, the correlations between miRNAs and mRNAs were integrated to construct the corresponding reciprocal networks and discover the miRNAs that might play a key role in causing ginseng crop disorder. osa-MIR818d-p3_1ss1TA and pgi-MIR6135i-p3_1ss11TG and pgi-MIR6140c-p5_1ss12CT were found to be at the core of the network, and it was hypothesized that these miRNAs play an important role in the formation of ginseng continuous cropping obstacle.","PeriodicalId":7975,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ecology and Environmental Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67126599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
