Mapping dominant plant communities in the degraded Zoige swamp using Sentinel-1/2 imagery and its implications for vegetation restoration

Zoige swamp has experienced varying degrees of degradation due to human-driven drainage and global climate change.Through satellite remote sensing, existing studies have obtained data on the distribution and changes in area of degraded Zoige swamp; however, the detailed identification of constituent Intimate Spray plant communities has not been con

Uncovering genes and ploidy involved in the high diversity in root hair density, length and response to local scarce phosphate in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Plant root hairs increase the root surface to enhance the uptake of sparingly soluble and immobile nutrients, such as the essential nutrient phosphorus, from the soil.Here, root hair traits and the response to scarce local phosphorus concentration were studied in 166 accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana using split plates.Root hair density and length
