Abstract
Salt stress is a prevailing abiotic stress in nature, with soil salinization becoming a pressing issue worldwide. High soil salinity severely hampers plant growth and leads to reduced crop yields. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gas signal molecule, is known to be synthesized in plants exposed to abiotic stress, contributing to enhanced plant stress resistance. To investigate the impact of sodium hydrosulfide hydrate (NaHS, a H2S donor) on millet's response to salt stress, millet seedlings were subjected to pretreatment with 200 μM NaHS, followed by 100 mM NaCl stress under soil culture conditions. The growth, osmotic adjustment substances, antioxidant characteristics, membrane damage, and expression levels of related genes in millet seedlings were detected and analyzed. The results showed that NaHS pretreatment alleviated the inhibition of salt stress on the growth of foxtail millet seedlings, increased the proline content and antioxidant enzyme activities, as well as the expression levels of SiASR4, SiRPLK35 and SiHAK23 genes under salt stress. These findings demonstrated that NaHS pretreatment can enhance salt tolerance in foxtail millet seedlings by regulating the content of osmotic adjustment substances and antioxidant enzyme activity, reducing electrolyte permeability, and activating the expression of salt-resistant genes.

Abstract
Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants commonly used in food, fibre, paper, biofuel, ornamental and medicinal industries. Natural hybridization in bamboo is rare due to its long vegetative period followed by gregarious flowering and death of the entire population. In the current study, a new bamboo species, Bambusa changningensis, shows intermediate characteristics of Dendrocalamus farinosus and B. rigida morphologically, but it is unknown whether B. changningensis is a natural hybrid. Moreover, B. changningensis has been identified as a superior variety of Sichuan Province with high pulping yield, fibre length and width. Therefore, we analyzed the morphological characteristics, DNA markers, DNA barcoding and chloroplast genomes to identify the hybrid origin of B. changningensis and possible maternal parent. We have developed the transcriptomic data for B. changningensis and mined the SSR loci. The putative parental lines and hybrid were screened for 64 SSR makers and identified that SSR14, SSR28, SSR31 and SSR34 markers showed both alleles of the parental species in B. changningensis, proving heterozygosity. Sequencing nuclear gene GBSSI partial regions and phylogenetic analysis also confirm the hybrid nature of B. changningensis. Further, we have generated the complete chloroplast genome sequence (139505 bp) of B. changningensis. By analyzing the cp genomes of both parents and B. changningensis, we identified that B. rigida might be the female parent. In conclusion, our study identified that B. changningensis is a natural hybrid, providing evidence for bamboo's natural hybridization. This is the first report on confirming a natural bamboo hybrid and its parents through SSR and chloroplast genome sequence.

Abstract
Phenolic acids can reduce nitrogen utilization rate of poplar, which seriously restrict the productivity of poplar plantation. In this study, three phenolic acid concentrations (T0, T1, and T2) and three ratios of nitrogen forms (NH4+-N to NO3--were 1:3, 1:7, and 1:14) were chosen for orthogonal experiment on poplar (Populus × euramericana "Neva") seedlings to study the effects of the nitrogen form ratios on photosynthetic productivity of poplar under environment of phenolic acids. Results showed that photosynthetic physiology parameters were influenced by both phenolic acid concentration and nitrogen form ratio. The order of net photosynthetic rate (PN) values obtained from 9 treatments were T1-1:3, T0-1:3, T2-1:3, T0-1:7, T1-1:7, T0-1:14, T2-1:7, T1-1:14, and T2-1:14 (from high to low). Under environment of phenolic acids, when poplar were treated with NH4+-N to NO3--N ratio of 1:14, the major limitation factor of photosynthesis was non stomatal factor. When poplar were treated with NH4+-N to NO3-N ratio of 1:3, the major limitation factor of photosynthesis changed to stomatal factor. The leaf nitrogen content and total biomass were obviously positively related with PN (p < 0.05). Phenolic acid inhibited photosynthetic productivity of poplar in a major way and this effect decreased with increase of the content of NH4+-N.

Abstract
Background Platycladus orientalis, as an important plant for ecological protection, is a pioneer tree species for afforestation in arid and barren mountainous areas. Lignin has the functions of water and soil conservation, strengthening plant mechanical strength and resisting adverse environmental effects and plays an important role in the ecological protection benefits of P. orientalis. Methods In this study, annual dynamic observations of the lignin content in roots, stems and leaves of one-year-old seedlings of a P. orientalis half-sib family were carried out, and combined transcriptome and metabolome analyses were carried out during three key stages of P. orientalis stem development. Results The lignin contents in roots, stems and leaves of P. orientalis showed extremely significant spatiotemporal differences. In the stems, lignin was mainly distributed in the cell walls of the pith, xylem, phloem, pericyte, and epidermis, with differences in different periods. A total of 226 metabolites were detected in the stem of P. orientalis, which were divided into seven categories, including 10 synthetic precursor compounds containing lignin. Among them, the content of coniferyl alcohol was the highest, accounting for 12.27% of the total content, and caffeyl alcohol was the lowest, accounting for 7.05% only. By annotating the KEGG functions, a large number of differentially expressed genes and differential metabolites were obtained for the comparison combinations, and seven key enzymes and 24 related genes involved in the process of lignin synthesis in P. orientalis were selected. Conclusions Based on the results of the metabolic mechanism of lignin in P. orientalis by biochemical, anatomical and molecular biological analyzes, the key regulatory pathways of lignin in P. orientalis were identified, which will be of great significance for regulating the lignin content of P. orientalis and improving the adaptability and resistance of this plant.

Prediction of Suitable Distribution of a Critically Endangered Plant Glyptostrobus pensilis. FORESTS 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/f13020257] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Glyptostrobus pensilis is a critically endangered living fossil plant species of the Mesozoic era, with high scientific research and economic value. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of climate change on the potential habitat area of G. pensilis in East Asia. The MaxEnt (maximum entropy) model optimized by the ENMeval data package was used to simulate the potential distribution habitats of G. pensilis since the last interglacial period (LIG, 120–140 ka). The results showed that the optimized MaxEnt model has a high prediction accuracy with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.9843 ± 0.005. The Current highly suitable habitats were found in the Northeast Jiangxi, Eastern Fujian and Eastern Guangdong; the main climatic factors affecting the geographic distribution of G. pensilis are temperature and precipitation, with precipitation as the temperature factor. The minimum temperature of coldest month (Bio6) may be the key factor restricting the northward distribution of G. pensilis; during the LIG, it contracted greatly in the highly suitable habitat area. Mean Diurnal Range (Bio2), Minimum Temperature of Coldest Month (Bio6), Annual Precipitation (Bio12) and Mean Temperature of Driest Quarter (Bio9) may be important climatic factors causing the changes in geographic distribution. In the next four periods, the suitable areas all migrated southward. Except for the RCP2.6-2070s, the highly suitable areas in the other three periods showed varying degrees of shrinkage. The results will provide a theoretical basis for the management and resource protection of G. pensilis.

Abstract
In order to demonstrate whether the sparrow search algorithm can show good performance in optimization, this paper improves the prediction model by this algorithm and predicts the change data of wood mechanical properties under different conditions, which better reflects the connection between the process parameters of wood heat treatment and the change of wood mechanical properties. The article takes the five main mechanical property parameters of thermally modified wood: compressive strength along the grain, flexural strength, flexural elastic modulus, radial hardness, and tangential hardness, respectively, as the objects of study and improves the sparrow search algorithm by Tenting chaotic mapping and then optimizes the Back Propagation (BP) network model by this algorithm. The results show that the number of iterations of the optimized Tent-Sparrow search algorithm-Back Propagation network model (TSSA-BP) is only one-eighth that of the original BP network model, and the convergence speed is greatly improved, the root mean square error of the TSSA-BP model is at least one-half times that of the original BP model, and the optimized model fits the original data better in terms of predicted values; thus, this article provided a feasible prediction algorithm for the field related to the mechanical property changes of wood after heat treatment.

Abstract
The red thermochromic dye (R-TD) is the tetradecanoic acid tetradecyl ester (C28H56O2) and methyl red (C15H15N3O2) mixture that has better permeability enabling its infiltration into wood and better thermochromic properties changing its colour at above 30 °C after about 0.5 min. Thicker poplar-based thermochromic composite specimens (R-PTC, thickness: 5.0 mm) were prepared by filling the R-TD into pre-treated poplar veneer (thickness: 5.0 mm) thus allowing better penetration after pre-treatment. After R-TD infiltration, the R-PTC samples were covered by polypropylene wax for preventing R-TD from overflowing from R-PTC under the action of phase-change temperature. This R-PTC, whose colour can change from light-red to dark-red at 38 °C to 46 °C, can recover to light-red at below 38 °C after about 14 h, and the peak of colour change is at about 42 °C. R-PTC will be suitable for materials used in thermochromic furniture that can indicate the surface temperature to potential users, thus allowing assessment of likely scalded pain when used the furniture.

Abstract
Plant lignin is a component of the cell wall, and plays important roles in the transport potential of water and mineral nutrition and plant defence against biotic stresses. Therefore, it is necessary to identify lignin biosynthesis-related genes and dissect their functions and underlying mechanisms. Here, we characterised a cotton LAC, GhLAC4, which participates in lignin biosynthesis and plant resistance against Verticillium dahliae. According to degradome sequencing and GUS reporter analysis, ghr-miR397 was identified to directedly cleave the GhLAC4 transcript through base complementary. GhLAC4 knockdown and ghr-miR397 overexpression significantly reduced basal lignin content compared to the control, whereas ghr-miR397 silencing significantly increased basal lignin levels. Based on staining patterns and GC/MS analysis, GhLAC4 acted in G-lignin biosynthesis. Under V. dahliae infection, we found that G-lignin content in ghr-miR397-knockdowned plants significantly increased, compared to these plants under the mock treatment, while G-lignin contents in GhLAC4-silenced plants and ghr-miR397-overexpressed plants treated with pathogen were comparable with these plants treated with mock, indicating that GhLAC4 participates in defence-induced G-lignin biosynthesis in the cell wall. Knockdown of ghr-miR397 in plants inoculated with V. dahliae promoted lignin accumulation and increased plant resistance. The overexpression of ghr-miR397 and knockdown of GhLAC4 reduced lignin content and showed higher susceptibility of plants to the fungal infection compared to the control. The extract-free stems of ghr-miR397-knockdowned plants lost significantly less weight when treated with commercial cellulase and V. dahliae secretion compared to the control, while the stems of ghr-miR397-overexpressed and GhLAC4-silenced plants showed significantly higher loss of weight. These results suggest that lignin protects plant cell walls from degradation mediated by cellulase or fungal secretions. In summary, the ghr-miR397-GhLAC4 module regulates both basal lignin and defence-induced lignin biosynthesis and increases plant resistance against infection by V. dahliae.
