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}

Rice drip irrigation cultivation is an efficient water-saving cultivation technique. However, it is a special water environment for rice, which makes rice vulnerable to water shortage during the whole growth period or at a certain stage. In this study, five water treatments were set up: drip irrigation regimes (DI), water deficient irrigation for 15 days at panicle differentiation stage (T1), booting stage (T2), flowering stage (T3) and grain filling stage (T4). Results indicated that the T1 treatment reduced the yield most, about 30.6% lower than that in DI treatment. T1 treatment significantly decreased the number of secondary branches and grains per panicle. The T2 and T3 treatment reduced the seed-setting rate of rice and led to yield reduction. The grain weight of grains on bottom secondary branches in T4 treatment was significantly decreased. Overall, In the drip irrigation management, further water shortage at different growth stages will lead to a reduction of yield. Therefore, in production practice, it is necessary to ensure adequate irrigation (soil water content kept 90% of the field water capacity at least) from the beginning of reproductive growth, especially in panicle differentiation stage. This provides a direction for breeding and water management under drip irrigation.","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":"67126679","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}

Larix kongboensis is a tree species indigenous to Tibet and sometimes mistaken for L. griffithii . At present, the population of L. kongboensis is dwindling as a result of urban growth. This experiment intends to determine the responsive connection between L. kongboensis standard chronology and climate change using analysis methods in tree-ring climatology and combining them with climate change features of the study region. This correlation study was undertaken to determine whether a “differentiation impact” on the radial development of L. kongboensis exists before and after the climatic change. We also aim to verify if a clear difference is observed between the radial orientation of L. kongboensis and weather conditions at two different heights. Combined with the tree-ring climatology method, Mann–Kendall test was used to assess the timing of abrupt temperature changes in the study region by cross-referencing the L. kongboensis standard chronology (STD). We also utilized sudden temperature change as the dividing line to explore the response connection between L. kongboensis and limiting influencing elements in the research region by comparing the degree of response of climatic factors to the radial growth of L. kongboensis before and after the abrupt change. We examined how the radial growth of L. kongboensis changed as a result of climate variables after rapid climate changes using moving correlation. We then compared the differences between different altitudes. The findings of the correlation analysis are presented as follows: (1) The radial growth of L. kongboensis was severely constrained by the maximum temperature in the early part of the growing season and the correlation between the radial growth from February to June of the same year and the maximum temperature changed from a positive correlation (P > 0.05) to a significant negative correlation (P < 0.05) after the abrupt shift in temperature. The minimum temperature changed from a mostly negative correlation to a mostly positive correlation. Precipitation and relative humidity were significantly more suppressed than those before the abrupt temperature change. (2) Moving correlation demonstrated that the negative reaction of the maximum temperature to the radial development of trees of both species increases in L. kongboensis in both research sites during the growing season, particularly in the early stages of the present growing season. (3) Lower-elevation radial development was hampered more than higher-elevation radial development, with precipitation exerting a significantly greater impact at higher elevations. Results indicated that the response of radial development to climatic conditions for the same tree species in two distinct environments differs significantly. The influence on the radial development of trees is neither completely prevented nor accelerated and “divergence problems” are observed in various months when a sudden temperature change occurs.","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":"67126726","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}
