Spatial patterns and key driving factors of wheat harvest index under irrigation and rainfed conditions in arid regions by Yongyu Chen, Yongyu Chen, Hengbati Wutanbieke, Dongdong Zhong, Dongdong Zhong, Jian Chen, Jian Chen, Zhen Huo, Zhen Huo, Hegan Dong, Hegan Dong

“…By integrating multidimensional factors such as geographical and climatic conditions, agronomic management practices, and soil nutrient status, methods including correlation analysis, random forest models, structural equation modeling, and linear regression analysis were employed to systematically investigate the spatial distribution characteristics and driving mechanisms of wheat HI under different irrigation regimes in arid regions.ResultsThe results revealed that: (1) Wheat HI in arid regions exhibited significant spatial heterogeneity (0.43–0.67), with an overall distribution pattern of "central high, peripheral low" and "northern high, southern low." (2) The importance rankings of influencing factors differed between irrigation regimes. …”

Data-driven prediction and design of bZIP coiled-coil interactions. by Vladimir Potapov, Jenifer B Kaplan, Amy E Keating

“…Selective dimerization of the basic-region leucine-zipper (bZIP) transcription factors presents a vivid example of how a high degree of interaction specificity can be achieved within a family of structurally similar proteins. The coiled-coil motif that mediates homo- or hetero-dimerization of the bZIP proteins has been intensively studied, and a variety of methods have been proposed to predict these interactions from sequence data. …”

Impact of mixed plantation strategies on the nutrient concentrations of green and senescent leaves and their nutrient resorption efficiencies in temperate forests of the Loess Hill... by Senbao Lu, Senbao Lu, Senbao Lu, Senbao Lu, Yunming Chen, Yunming Chen, Yunming Chen, Jordi Sardans, Jordi Sardans, Josep Peñuelas, Josep Peñuelas

“…In 2022, we analyzed N and phosphorus (P) concentrations in green (GLNC, GLPC) and senescent leaves (SLNC, SLPC), resorption efficiencies (NRE and PRE), and relative resorption efficiency (RRE) in mixtures of R. pseudoacacia × A. davidiana and R. pseudoacacia × A. sibirica and monocultures of three species, considering tree structure and topsoil (0-20 cm) properties. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test showed that senescent leaves nutrient concentrations for R. pseudoacacia and Student’s t test that green and senescent leaves of A. davidiana and A. sibirica were significantly greater in mixed stands than monocultures. …”
