Microbial Community Structure Diversity of Male and Female Poplar Plants of the Same Faction and Its Influencing Factors

Phyllosphere microorganisms interact with host plants to regulate growth, promote nutrient uptake and enhance stress tolerance with host specificity, while arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi facilitate plant nutrient absorption and stress adaptation. Current poplar microbial studies mostly focus on hermaphroditic species, wi...

Soil organic carbon fraction mediated microbial community assembly along stand age and seasonal gradients in temperate poplar plantations

Mixed Litter Decomposition Drives Functional Gene Rearrangement in the Microbial Carbon Cycle

Understanding how mixed‐species litter decomposition regulates microbial communities and carbon cycling is vital for guiding ecosystem restoration and climate change mitigation, as it is a key process for nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration. A 15‐month field experiment compared single‐species ( Pinus sylve...

Effects of Swine Biogas Slurry on Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Community in Poplar Plantations on Northeast China Sandy Soils

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are the key symbiotic microorganisms in sandy poplar plantations, regulating vegetation restoration and nutrient cycling. This study aims to investigate the impact of biogas slurry (BS) application on the community structure of AMF in the rhizosphere soil of poplar forests, in order t...

Molecular regulatory mechanisms of Populus deltoides under combined high temperature and short-photoperiod stress associated with DNA methylation

The molecular mechanisms underlying DNA methylation-associated environmental adaptation in poplar are preliminarily revealed, providing potential genetic targets for breeding climate-resilient trees.
