[Objectives] To evaluate the utilization and application value of vine plant resources,and enrich the urban vertical greening landscape.[Methods] Route survey and sample plot observation methods were employed to inves...
We usually think that plants always stay quiet and never speak.Grass doesn,t cry when you cut it,flowers don’t shout when they’re picked.But this view of the world couldn,t be more wrong.Plants talk to each other al...
Heavy metal(HM)accumulation in soil poses a major hazard to both ecological health and plant growth progressions.Cadmium(Cd),lead(Pb),copper(Cu),chromium(Cr),arsenic(As),zinc(Zn),and nickel(Ni)are examples of HMs that...
Global warming is making plants more susceptible to heat stress.Hence,adjustments to crop production systems are required for global food security.Heat stress(HS)poses a threat to the quality of ecosystems and global ...

Nitrogen(N)is an essential nutrient for both plants and soil microbes,but it often has limited availability.Currently,little is known about the effects of different vegetation patch types on the partitioning of N betw...
Exogenous proline is an effective agent for increasing plant tolerance to abiotic stress in plants. In this study, we evaluated its effect on seedlings of Siete Caldos chili pepper (Capsicum frutescens), a semi-domest...
