Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of MYB Transcription Factors Involved in Lignin Biosynthesis in Elephant Grass (<i>Cenchrus purpureus</i>) by Qizhe Wang, Mengying Ruan, Fuqiang Li, Zhe Ma, Dong Luo

“…Transcriptome analysis identified 48 <i>CpMYB</i> genes differentially expressed in internodes at least one of three developmental stages, with promoters containing various growth-, phytohormone-, and stress-related cis-elements. Additionally, nine <i>CpMYB</i> genes were consistently differentially expressed across all three stages, and predicted protein–DNA interaction suggested that four of them (CpMYB094, CpMYB131, CpMYB145, and CpMYB148) potentially regulate key lignin biosynthetic genes, including <i>4-coumarate:CoA ligase 1</i> (<i>4CL1</i>), <i>hydroxycinnamoyl transferase</i> (<i>HCT</i>), <i>caffeoyl-CoA O-methyltransferase 1/7</i> (<i>CCoAOMT1/7</i>), and <i>reduced epidermal fluorescence 3</i> (<i>REF3</i>). …”

Using airborne LiDAR and enhanced-geolocated GEDI metrics to map structural traits over a Mediterranean forestZenodo by Aaron Cardenas-Martinez, Adrian Pascual, Emilia Guisado-Pintado, Victor Rodriguez-Galiano

“…We used two sources of 3D-structural metrics, LiDAR point clouds and full-waveform space-borne LiDAR from GEDI to estimate forest structure in a protected area of Southern Spain, home of relict species in jeopardy due to recent extreme water-stress conditions. We locally calibrated GEDI spaceborne measurements using discrete point clouds collected by Airborne Laser Scanner (ALS) to adjust the geolocation of GEDI waveform metrics and to predict GEDI structural traits such as canopy height, foliage height diversity or leaf area index. …”
