Mushrooms of Cyptotrama Singer belong to the family Physalacriaceae. More than 10 species of this genus were described in the pantropic regions, while only one was documented from Asia before.
The bilateral lamellar trama has been used as the most important character for the identification of Cyptotrama. The presence or absence of squamules on the surface of the basidiomata and clamp connecti...
During a long-term co-evolutionary process, plants have evolved sophisticated and effective mechanisms to defend themselves against herbivore attack. However, crop domestication with its major focus on appearance, yield, and growth in large monocultures has made our crop plants vulnerable to insect herbivores.
Ampelocalamus actinotrichus was described as a species of the genus Arundinaria Michaux when it was published in 1935. This species was found only in Hainan. It was designated as the type species of a new genus Ampelocalamus S. L Chen, T. H. Wen & G. Y. Sheng in 1981. Neomicrocalamus prainii is the type species of the genus Neomicrocalamus P. C. Keng, and it was recorded in southern Tibet and n...
Maize is cultivated as a staple crop worldwide, reaching more than 1 billion tons of grain yield in 2013. As for all crop plants, insects cause large losses in maize production; however, very little is known about how maize responds to insect herbivory.In China, Mythimna separata Walker as one of the major pests cause great losses of maize production.
The predominantly aquatic order Alismatales, which includes approximately 4500 species within Araceae, Tofieldiaceae, and the core alismatid families, is a key group in investigating the origin and early diversification of monocots.

Physalacria peck is the type genus of the family Physalacriaceae in Agaricales, and is characterized by the physalacrioid basidiomata with a bubble-like head (usually less than 6 mm in wide) and a stuffed stipe (≤ 1 cm in height).
One of the main goals of conservation biology is to understand the factors shaping variation in biodiversity across the planet. This understanding is critical for conservation planners to be able to develop effective conservation strategies. Although many studies have focused on species richness and the protection
of rare and endemic species, less attention has been paid to the protection of th...
Changing climate is likely to impact on both tree species and agroforestry systems in a variety of ways. A multi-model ensemble approach based on ecological niche modelling was used to understand the impact of climate on distribution of agroforestry trees in Yunnan Province of China.
