Genome-wide identification and analysis of Rop GTPase family members reveal their potential functions in biotic stress in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) by Zhida Liu, Guochao Xuanyuan, Shuqing Yang, Miru Du, Xiaoluo Zhang, Tingting Bao, Zhiwei Zhang, Wenbing Zhang, Jun Zhao

“…Abstract Background Rop (RHO of plants) proteins are the plant-specific subfamily of RHO small GTP-binding proteins and act as a molecular switch to converge on a wide range of upstream signals and elicit downstream signaling cascades involving in modulating developmental processes and managing environmental stress. Although the function of Rops has been well studied in many plant species, the research conducting on Rops in potato is limited. …”

Construction of Carbon Functional Zone in the Demonstration Zone of Green and Integrated Ecological Development of the Yangtze River Delta Based on Carbon Density Correction by Tian ZHANG, Zhen SHEN, Tingting SU, Daixin DAI

“…This shift reflects a transition toward more concentrated carbon storage and enhanced carbon sink functions. The growth of carbon sink enhancement zones is largely attributed to ecological restoration policies, such as the conversion of farmland to lakes and forests, underscoring the critical role of policy interventions in enhancing carbon sequestration capacity.ConclusionBased on these findings, the research proposes a spatially differentiated low-carbon governance framework for the Demonstration Zone, and emphasize three pillars. 1) Zonal Regulation: Implement strict protection measures in carbon sink enhancement zones, optimize land use efficiency in balance zones, and enforce emission reduction targets in control zones. 2) Ecological restoration priorities: Scale up reforestation, wetland conservation, and “sponge city” initiatives to amplify carbon sequestration. 3) Cross-regional collaboration: Establish a unified governance platform to harmonize policies, data sharing, and carbon trading mechanisms across administrative boundaries. …”
