Of all types of interactions between humans and plants,the utilization of plants by people is the most direct and influential.China has a long history of using native plants and a large body of recorded knowledge on uses.Here,we present an inventory of plant uses in China based on an extensive survey of the literature.Twelve categories of usage are recognized(medicinal,edible,etc.),these categories being chosen according to an integration of various current standards.A total of 50,521 use-citations were recorded,covering 10,808 species and infraspecies,representing 28%of the Chinese flora.Additional information is included in the dataset on taxonomy and endangerment status.Analysis of the data reveals that the eight plant families with the greatest numbers of species used in China,namely Asteraceae,Fabaceae,Rosaceae,Ranunculaceae,Poaceae,Lamiaceae,Orchidaceae,and Liliaceae,are also the top eight most species-rich Chinese plant families.However,there are some families that are overrepresented or under-representation in certain use categories,compared with their relative abundance in the total flora.There are indications that rare and endangered species are being subject to some degree of over-exploitation.A disproportionately high number of used species are Chinese endemics(3552 species,representing over 33%of used species).A total of 20%of used species have been classified as threatened nationally or globally,according to at least one of the various threat assessments that have been made for the Chinese flora.This comprehensive inventory of the useful plants of China,with relevant ethnobotanical information included,provides a baseline for further studies of plant resources.It will be useful in follow-up research.The scientific dataset it contains will be useful for the protection and sustainable utilization of plant resources in China. 展开更多

The difficulty of effectively monitoring and managing the environment to conserve biodiversity is as yet an unsolved conundrum.A project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has concluded that progress can be made through the use of flagship species selected using criteria drawn from conservation biology,ecosystem function,socio-economics,and cultural importance.Inclusion of the latter three criteria will help attract and maintain the commitment of the public to play full parts in carrying out any conservation measures needed.A system is proposed for scoring species to select those that are most suitable as flagships.This method can be used regardless of the size of the area chosen for attention,whether it is a region,a country,or a particular protected area. 展开更多

Horizontal gene transfer(HGT) refers to the flow of genetic materials to non-offspring,and occasionally HGT in plants can improve the adaptation of organisms in new niches due to expanded metabolic capability.Anthocyanins are an important group of water-soluble red,purple,or blue secondary metabolites,whose diversity results from modification after the main skeleton biosynthesis.Cuscuta is a stem holoparasitic genus,whose members form direct connection with hosts to withdraw water,nutrients,and macromolecules.Such intimate association is thought to increase the frequency of HGT.By transcriptome screening for foreign genes in Cuscuta australis,we discovered that one gene encoding a putative anthocyanin acyltransferase gene of the BAHD family,which is likely to be involved in anthocyanin modification,was acquired by C.australis from Fabaceae through HGT.The anthocyanin acyltransferase-like(AT-like) gene was confirmed to be present in the genome assembly of C.australis and the transcriptomes of Cuscuta pentagona.The higher transcriptional level in old stems is consistent with its putative function in secondary metabolism by stabilizing anthocyanin at neutral pH and thus HGT of this AT-like gene may have improved biotic and abiotic resistance of Cuscuta. 展开更多
