Grasslands contain enormous soil organic carbon (SOC) reserves, and even minor fluctuations may have a great effect on the climate.N, P and S in soil organic matter (SOM) have important influences on SOC sequestration.The soil in soda saline-alkali grassland is characterized by high pH, high exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP), degraded physical p
Genetic resources are an important source of genetic variation for plant breeding.Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and genomic prediction greatly facilitate the analysis and utilization of useful genetic diversity for improving complex phenotypic traits in DOLLS crop plants.We explored the potential of GWAS and genomic prediction for improvin
Type 3 resistant starch from Canna edulis (Ce-RS3) is an insoluble dietary fiber which could improve blood lipids in animals, but clinically robust evidence Collections is still lacking.We performed a double-blind randomized controlled trial to assess the effects of Ce-RS3 on lipids in mild hyperlipidemia.One hundred and fifteen patients were inclu
Downy mildew pathogens affect several economically important crops worldwide but, due to their obligate nature, few genetic resources are available for genomic and population analyses.Draft genomes for emergent downy mildew pathogens such as the oomycete Pseudoperonospora cubensis, causal agent of cucurbit downy mildew, have been published and can
