Review on ecological co-culture from sustainable agriculture perspective: hotspots, evolution and frontiers by Xiaofeng Lin

“…Although approximately one-third of the literature addresses “low-carbon agriculture,” only 2% of the articles explore the relationship between “ecological co-culture” and “low-carbon agriculture,” with approximately 8% covering “vertical cultivation.” (2) Both domestic and international publications primarily focus on ecology, life sciences, agriculture, and aquaculture, with minimal representation in geographical journals. (3) The CiteSpace analysis of research publications between 2008 and 2023 found that China Agricultural University and the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were in a leading position in the field of agriculture and life sciences. (4) There are 255 principal authors with 319 cooperative connections, indicating that there are extensive collaboration networks among scholars and significant potential for advancing research on low-carbon agriculture and ecological co-culture models in China. (5) The most prominent keywords from 2014 to 2023 include “rice,” “rice-fish symbiosis,” and “ecological symbiosis.” …”

Cross-Kingdom DNA Methylation Dynamics: Comparative Mechanisms of 5mC/6mA Regulation and Their Implications in Epigenetic Disorders by Yu Liu, Ying Wang, Dapeng Bao, Hongyu Chen, Ming Gong, Shujing Sun, Gen Zou

“…This review systematically synthesizes the evolutionary-conserved versus species-specific features of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and N6-methyladenine (6mA) regulatory networks across three biological kingdoms. Through comparative analysis of methylation/demethylation enzymatic cascades (DNMTs/TETs in mammals, CMTs/ROS1 in plants, and DIM-2/DNMTA in fungi), we propose a unified framework for targeting methylation-associated diseases through precision epigenome editing, while identifying critical knowledge gaps in fungal methylome engineering that demand urgent investigation.…”
