Summary: In this study, it was found through experiments that AM symbiosis has a protective effect on plants against air pollutant ozone (O3), reducing the sensitivity of one of the two poplar clones, clone 546, to O3, while having a relatively smaller effect on the more O3-tolerant clone 107. Mechanistically, AM symbiosis protects poplar clone 107 from O3 damage by increasing antioxidant enzyme activity. This study is significant for understanding the protective effects of AM fungi on plants against O3 pollution.

Summary: The study reveals that melatonin can alleviate ozone stress in grape leaves by inhibiting ethylene biosynthesis. Experiments showed that both melatonin and ethylene inhibitors enhanced the photosynthetic and antioxidant capacities of grape leaves under ozone stress, while ethylene inhibited those capacities.

Summary: Arboreal epiphytes can increase rainwater storage and evaporation, and drought conditions may affect their hydrological role. This study explores the effects of drought on the water storage capacity and leaf properties of two epiphytes, highlighting the importance of understanding plant drought response on hydrology.

Summary: This study analyzes the effects of changing emissions on the formation mechanisms of tropospheric ozone (O3), providing insights for regulatory directions. The research finds that reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions can reduce the number of summer days in violation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for O3, and reducing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions can also have positive effects.

Summary: This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the effects of changing emissions on the formation mechanisms of tropospheric ozone (O-3) and presents a new approach to quantify the ozone production rate and its sensitivity to precursor levels. The study reveals that in the South Coast Air Basin, reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions is crucial to decrease the number of summer days with ozone violations, and reducing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions would also be beneficial.

Summary: Investigating the leaf characteristics and gene expression patterns of Populus deltoides 'Danhong' and Populus simonii 'Tongliao1' revealed that the difference in leaf size was due to cell numbers and gene expression differences, with growth-regulating factors playing a key role in regulating leaf size disparity between the two genotypes.

Summary: The study revealed that the low-Cd-accumulating wheat genotype, AK58, exhibited stronger Cd tolerance and higher antioxidant system capacity in roots compared to the high-Cd-accumulating genotype, ZM10. Additionally, AK58 had higher concentrations of Cd bound to root cell walls, with pectin and hemicellulose playing important roles in Cd binding. Moreover, Cd sequestration in vacuoles was identified as another tolerance mechanism in AK58.

Summary: This study investigated the foliar oxidation of gaseous elemental mercury using poplar as a model tree species. The results showed that the oxidation of gaseous mercury in foliage can occur through a two-step single-electron transfer process, involving the formation of Hg(I) and Hg(II) mediated by nonenzymatic and enzymatic reactions.

Summary: During autumn senescence, the disassembly and degradation of photosynthetic protein complexes is poorly understood, as well as the reason why leaves accumulate red pigments. One possibility is that the red pigments, or anthocyanins, protect the senescing leaves from excess light.

Summary: Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) is a plant strategy to increase nitrogen (N) use efficiency by reducing N losses. Recent studies have found that microbial N immobilization plays a crucial role and is more important in high-BNI genotypes in the short term. However, high-BNI genotypes did not show higher N uptake during the first three weeks after fertilization as expected.

Summary: This study investigated the short-term effects of ozone exposure on the growth and accumulation of bioactive compounds in red lettuce leaves in a controlled environment plant factory. Results showed that exposure to 200 ppb ozone concentration significantly reduced the fresh weight of lettuce plants, while the expression of most genes increased rapidly after 0.5 hours of ozone exposure and then showed a decreasing trend. Moreover, the accumulation pattern of bioactive compounds in lettuce leaves varied based on leaf age.

Summary: This study evaluated the antioxidant capacity, bioactive compound contents, and mineral element contents of guava genotypes in China and found genotypic variation. The bioactive compound contents were positively correlated with antioxidant capacity. Phosphorus played a regulatory role in the medicinal quality of superior guava genotypes.

Summary: Genetic variation in phosphorus utilization efficiency (PUE) exists among wheat genotypes, with different physiological and proteomic responses to phosphate deficiency. High PUE genotype can maintain protein abundance in energy metabolism and increase the abundance of proteins related to specific metabolic pathways. These findings provide potential and basis for breeding wheat varieties with improved phosphorus use efficiency.
