Given adenine 5’-triphosphate (ATP) is the universal energy source in all living cells, previous research proposed that extracellular ATP (eATP) play a critical role in plant growth, development and stress response. However, little is known in the action mechanism of exogenous ATP and its r...

　　By 2050, the world’s population is predicted to reach 9.8 billion and food production through conventional agriculture has been straining the global environment. Moreover, urbanization has continued to reduce farmland capacity and farm labor, but to increase the food miles that demand trans...

　　Chinese researchers have discovered that the plant community showed higher sensitivity to plant invasions than the soil microbial and fauna communities on tropical coral islands.
　　Plant invasion is a major factor leading to the degradation of indigenous vegetation on tropical coral island...

　　Plant invasion is a major factor leading to the degradation of indigenous vegetation on tropical coral islands, where ecosystems are fragile and endemism tends to be high. The holistic effects of biological invasions on island forests and their belowground organisms are poorly understood.
