Optimizing sustainability of land resource utilization: a comprehensive analysis of practices in the Tarim Basin, China by Yifei Song, Weicheng Wu, Yanfei Zhang, Minqiang Zhu, Xinxin Ke, Yuan Li, Yecheng He, Cuimin Zhou, Wenjing Li, Rong Jing, Peixia Song, Linqian Fu, Chunling Mao, Meng Xie, Xiaoping Song, Aiqing Chen, Sicheng Li, Aohui Li, Yingxu Song

“…The results show that the SUD in Tarim in 2030 is likely be 0.60 (TD), 0.62 (EP) and 0.68 (HD), indicating that only in HD scenario is it possible to find pathway to solve water scarcity problem and achieve sustainable ULR. This study provides a supportive idea for decision-making on sustainable ULR in Tarim and also an approach for similar sustainability assessment in other dry areas.…”

Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals molecular mechanisms of resistance in Chinese cabbage to Plasmodiophora brassicae pathotype 11 by Yue Qiu, Yue Qiu, Yue Qiu, Jinhao Zhang, Jinhao Zhang, Chunju Deng, Chunju Deng, Jiasheng Yuan, Jiasheng Yuan, Bowen Wang, Bowen Wang, Han Meng, Han Meng, Mohamed Mohany, Liting Zeng, Liting Zeng, Lanfang Wei, Lanfang Wei, Waqar Ahmed, Guanghai Ji, Guanghai Ji

“…Therefore, our speculation revolves around the potential resistant mechanism of this variety, which inhibits the proliferation of P. brassicae in the roots via secondary metabolites, cell wall, and ROS and also regulates physiological mechanisms mediated by plant hormones such as ABA to adapt to adverse environmental conditions such as water scarcity induced by the pathogen.ConclusionThis study unveils the intricate defense mechanisms potentially activated within Chinese cabbage when confronted with P. brassicae pathotype 11, offering valuable insights for breeding programs and the development of novel strategies for managing clubroot disease in Brassica crops. …”
