Frontiers in Plant Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15

Published: Jan. 10, 2025

Vegetation productivity and ecosystem carbon sink capacity are significantly influenced by seasonal weather patterns. The time lags between changes in these patterns (including vegetation) responses is a critical aspect vegetation-climate ecosystem-climate interactions. These can vary considerably due to the spatial heterogeneity of vegetation ecosystems. In this study focused on source regions Yangtze Yellow Rivers (SCRYR), we utilized long-term datasets Net Primary Productivity (NPP) model-estimated Ecosystem (NEP) from2015 2020, combined with reconstructed 8-day scale climate sequences, conduct partial correlation regression analysis (isolating influence individual meteorological factors lag effects). found that length effects varies depending regional topography, types, sensitivity their ecological environments factors. region River (SCR), times for NPP NEP response temperature (Tem) longer, compared (SYR), where generally less than 10 days. long precipitation (Pre), ranging from 50 60 days, were primarily concentrated northwestern part SCR, while precipitation, 34 48 covered broad western area. exhibits least solar radiation (SR), exceeding 54 days 99.30% region. contrast, showed varying respect SR: short (ranging 0 15 days) observed areas, 55 64 evident areas. highest SVL, followed C3A, PW, BDS, C3 descending order.

Published: March 27, 2025

Background: The accumulation of secondary metabolites in medicinal plants is often influenced by a variety factors, and rhizosphere microorganisms typically engage complex interactions with their host plants. Crepis napifera (Franch.) Babc., regionally significant plant, contains diverse array terpenoids demonstrates substantial potential for resource development utilization. Methods: Transcriptome sequencing, metabolomic profiling, 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing were employed to assess the transcriptional expression patterns, metabolic variations, microbial community composition C. Babc. roots distributed across various regions. Results: A total 3679, 8615, 11,333 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) identified pairwise comparisons between H1 vs. H2, H2 H3, respectively. Notably, 497 DEGs consistently detected all three comparisons.
