[HTML][HTML] Factors influencing leaf chlorophyll content in natural forests at the biome scale
Chlorophyll (Chl) is an important photosynthetic pigment to the plant, largely determining
photosynthetic capacity and hence plant growth. However, this concept has not been …

When and where plant‐soil feedback may promote plant coexistence: a meta‐analysis
Plant‐soil feedback (PSF) theory provides a powerful framework for understanding plant
dynamics by integrating growth assays into predictions of whether soil communities stabilise …

[HTML][HTML] Genome sequence of the cultivated cotton Gossypium arboreum
The complex allotetraploid nature of the cotton genome (AADD; 2 n= 52) makes genetic,
genomic and functional analyses extremely challenging. Here we sequenced and …

Variation and evolution of C: N ratio among different organs enable plants to adapt to N‐limited environments
Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) are the primary elements involved in the growth and
development of plants. The C: N ratio is an indicator of nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and an …

Diversification of Rosaceae since the Late Cretaceous based on plastid phylogenomics
Phylogenetic relationships in Rosaceae have long been problematic because of frequent
hybridisation, apomixis and presumed rapid radiation, and their historical diversification has …
