<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[Three plant communities of Xiaonanshan Mountain area that are situated close to hillsides and two communities of Yingrenshi Mountain area, one community being scraped fruit-bearing forest and of half natural recovery status, another is located in a place with several fruit-bearing forests around it, which is partially developed. The study compared plant composition and diversity in the two regions. The results showed that in aspect of family, genus and species composition of communities, there was no obvious difference between the two regionss, however, family and species number was more in Xiaonanshan than in Yingrenshi area. In composition of every layer species, Xiaonanshan tree layer species were obviously more than that of Yingrenshi, shrub and herb layers in the former also developed well, species number were more; although in Yingrenshi, there were more species in shrub and herb layers, and herb number were also less than Xiaonanshan. With respect to Simpson and Shannon-Wiener diversity indices, except for tree layer index of one community in Xiaonanshan was slightly lower than Yingrenshi, all other layer indices and all integral indices in the three communities were higher than Yingrenshi. It is evident that in long-term protected status, in Xiaonanshan, vegetation structure was better and the species number of every layer were more than that of Yingrenshi which was artificially disturbed. Therefore, even if in Yingrenshi two communities have semi-natural development status, and the effect of man-made disturbance was removed, they were still at the recovery preliminary stage. It was also clear that the biodiversity of Xiaonanshan communities under long-term protected vegetation gained comprehensive enhancing. In respect of similarity coefficient of communities, all layer coefficient values were lower. The species compositions in different spots of the same region and in the designated different regions were insignificantly different.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[Oil tea(<i>Camellia oleifera</i>)is the important oiltree in our country with the vastest area of distribution and the most products in the genus of <i>Camellia</i>. Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the important distribution area of oil tea, abounds in oil tea germplasm resources. In order to evaluate genetic variation of germplasm resources of oil tea in Guangxi for germplasm conservation and cultivar selection, 10 SSR primer pairs were screened and evaluated in the present study, then genetic diversity of 97 representive germplasm resources of oil tea in Guangxi was analysed based on the polymorphic SSR markers. The findings indicated as follows: Firstly, of the ten developed SSR primer pairs, seven codominant primer pairs could produced stable amplicons, and another two primers could produce unstable amplicons; the remaining one yielded no band on the gel. Secondly, a total of 33 alleles were detected among 97 oil tea germplasm resources using seven codominant SSRs, and the number of alleles was from three to six with an average of 4.714 3 for every pair of primers; the number of effective allele ranged from 2.084 2 to 4.314 8 with an average of 2.828 8, and the gene diversity was from 0.520 2 to 0.768 2 with an average of 0.628 1. Thirdly, almost loci out of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium meant genetic structure in the population, the ranges of observed and expected heterozygosity were 0.413 0-0.670 1 and 0.523 3-0.772 4, with the averages of 0.569 8 and 0.631 6. Finally, the range of genetic distances among germplasm resources was 0.05-0.791 7, with an average of 0.354 5. The cluster analysis based on UPGMA method revealed that the germplasm resources from the same places could not cluster in the same branch, on the other hand, the germplasm resources in one branch came from several places. The foregoing results reveavled that the developed SSRs of oil tea were suitable to work in the oil tea in Guangxi and the genetic diversity of germplasm resources in Guangxi was relatively higher. Those findings provide the scientific evidences for deep exploitation and efficient utilization of genetic resources of oil tea in Guangxi.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[The genetic diversity of 135 individuals collected from 7 wild populations of <i>Flemingia macrophylla</i> was estimated using ISSR method. An high level of genetic diversity was detected in wild populations of <i>F. macrophylla</i> from South Yunnan Province. At species level, the percentage of polymorphic loci <i>PPL</i> = 94.85%, effective number of alleles <i>N</i>e = 1.462 7, Nei's gene diversity <i>H</i>e = 0.281 5, and Shannon's information index <i>H</i>o = 0.433 7; at population level, <i>PPL</i> = 43.44%, <i>N</i>e = 1.298 1, Nei's gene diversity <i>H</i>e = 0.170 4, and Shannon's in formation index <i>H</i>o = 0.249 9. The level of genetic differentiation(39.75%)among populations is lower than that within populations(60.25%). Based on the results, we suggest that the protected areas of <i>F. macrophylla</i> should be build in MY, QB and NE because of the high level of genetic diversity.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[Genetic diversity of 6 <i>Angiopteris hokouensis</i> populations collected from different habitats were analyzed by means of intersimple sequence repeat(ISSR)markers, and 8 proper primers with rich polymorphism and stable bands were selected from a total of 44 ISSR's primers. The genome DNAs of the 6 populations were amplified to a total of 144 putative bands by the 8 primers, in which 96 were polymorphism bands. Polymorphism rate was 93.7%; Nei's gene diversity index was 0.296, Shannon information index was 0.457, and <i>G</i>st was 0.152 0. The genetic distance coefficient and the genetic similarity were 0.058 4-0.090 1 and 0.913 8-0.954 8. Cluster analysis by UPGMA indicated that the genetic distance between the populations related to spatial distance, as well as to habitats. The results showed that <i>A. hokouensis</i> populations had high levels of genetic diversity at disturbed habitats. Even there was no significant differentiation of genetic diversity among populations,the populations in moderate disturbed habitats had higher genetic diversity. The genetic diversity was not significantly related toaltitude,slope and aspect.]]></description>

land uses in North Zhejiang Province]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://gxzw.ijournals.cn/gxzwen/ch/reader/view_abstract.aspx?file_no=20160710&flag=1]]></link>
<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[Local plants were important for ecosystem diversity, of which herbaceous plants took a great account. In the article Fushi Village and Saoshe Village in Zhejiang Province were taken as test plots, where land use systems were divided into four artificial habits such as artificial forest, gardens, rivers, farming area for comparing plant diversity under different artificial habits, and three parameters such as Shannon-Wiener index, Simpson index, Sorensen index were employed. The results showed that based on the investigation, there were 162 species including 47 families, 123 genera, were found in all the habits. The principal species was from Compositae and Gramineae, accounted for 31.48% of the total. The highest plant diversity was in farming area, Shannon-wiener index value reaching 2.76 and Simpson index value being 0.91, Sorensen index value of 0.57, the same with rivers. From the farming area, rivers, gardens to artificial forest habitat, the value of herbaceous species diversity overall decreased. Moreover, taking greening measures would lead to herbaceous species reduction. For example, from the paddy field to farming area habitat, the main herb family and genus composition did not change significantly, plants of Cyperaceae, Compositae and Gramineae still occupied the main body. The composition of the main species of herbaceous plant community had changed, the herb species of Cyperaceae, Compositae and Gramineae were 11, 8 and 15 in the paddy field habitat, Cyperaceae, Compositae and Gramineae species were 4, 19 and 17 in the farming area habitat. Comparison of two kinds of habitats in herbaceous species composition, species number of cyperaceae reduced, compositae species number increased. Additionally, <i>Alternanthera philoxeroides</i>, <i>Solidago canadensis</i> and <i>Dysphania ambrosioides</i>, total three invasive species were found in four habitats, and their important values were so low that they could not constitute a significant impact on native species. By the research it implied that different land use types seriously affected the species composition and species diversity of herb community. The herbaceous community changed with land use types variation, diversification of land use could contribute native herbaceous species diversity protection. Hence, to study on the herbaceous plant diversity of different land use patterns in rural environment is helpful for plant diversity conservation in rural area and pushing up beautiful China construction.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[<i>Bletilla striata</i>, as atraditional Chinese herbal medicine, is a terrestrial and perennial medicinal plant. It is necessary to obtain the culturable endophytic fungi in the application of mycorrhizal technology for the protection and artificial cultivation of <i>B. striata</i>. The independent fungal isolates were isolated from the roots and leaves of <i>B. striata</i>, and identified based on the fungal morphological characteristics and the analysis of the fungal internal transcribed spacer(ITS)of rDNA sequences. The results showed that thirty-seven independent fungal isolates were obtained from forty-five root tissues and forty-five leaf tissues of two wild plants of <i>B. striata. </i>The isolates were identified to 15 taxa, belonging to nine genera,eight families, seven orders, four classes, and two phyla. The four classes are corresponding to Leotiomycetes, Dothideomycetes, Sordariomycetes and Agaricomycetes. Twelve endophytic fungi were isolated from the roots, and <i>Sebacin</i>a were dominant genus. Three endophytic fungi were isolated from the leaves, and <i>Colletotrichum </i>were dominant genus. The relative abundance of <i>Sebacin</i>a or <i>Colletotrichum</i> was 20%. Four basidiomycetes all were not isolated from the leavf tissues but the roots. The diversity index of endophytic fungi in roots(<i>H'</i>=1.863)was higher than that in leaves(<i>H'</i>=1.098). The positive results in this report demonstrated that fungi isolated from<i> B. striata</i> could be used for the protection and artificial cultivation of the host. Moreover, these Basidiomycetous fungi simultaneously clould be used as a valuable candidate sources for the protection and sustainable utilization of orchid resources by mycorrhizal technology.]]></description>
