Using line method and typical sample method, the plant resources of the Jinyin Lake National Wetland Park were investigated in detail. There were 62 families, 113 genera and 135 species of seed plants. 4 families and more families were the dominant families of seed plants in this area. 1 genera were the main reasons for the diversity of seed plants in this area. The 62 families can be divided into 9 areal types and 5 forms, of which tropical families accounted for 61.36% of the total number of non-cosmopolitan families. The 113 genera can be divided into 13 distribution types and 2 variants, of which the temperate distribution is 61.39% of the non-cosmopolitan genus. The 135 species can be divided into 7 distribution types, mainly in the subtropical monsoon climate area, accounting for 45.19% of the total species. The research results provide basic information and scientific basis for the protection and management of plant diversity resources in the Jinyin Lake National Wetland Park.

In recent years, in order to provide theoretical and scientific basis for the protection and rational utilization of plant resources in Lon longquan mountain gquan Mountain, the seed plants in Longquan Mountain were taken as the research object, and the field investigation was carried out by using the method of line plus typical sample plot, so as to further study the characteristics of investigated area were further studied. The results show: There are 231 species of 191 genus in 90 families, including 5 families, 9 genus and 11 species of gymnosperms, and 82 species of 182 genus and 85 species of angiosperms. The 14 distribution types of seed plants belong to the statistics: North temperate distribution There are 72 genus, accounting for 37.7% of the total genus of the area, reflecting the obvious north temperate nature of the flora. In addition, there are many ancient taxa and Cretaceous and Tertiary relict plants. There are 163 genus of single genus and genus genus, accounting for 85.3% of the total genus of the region, indicating that the plant origin is relatively old, there are 7 genus in China, which indicates that the unique phenomenon exists, but it is not obvious.

The current paper provides a taxonomic inventory of the vascular plant species collected by the authors during the last two decades from the Rajouri and Poonch districts, located along the Pir Panjal range in the Indian Himalayan State of Jammu and Kashmir. The inventory records a total of 352 species, which belong to 270 genera in 83 families. Of the total taxa, the angiosperms are represented by 331 species in 253 genera and 77 families; gymnosperms by 12 species in 9 genera and 3 families; and pteridophytes by 9 species in 7 genera and 3 families. Asteraceae is the largest family, contributing 42 species; while Artemisia is the largest genus, with 5 species. The inventory is expected to provide baseline scientific data for further studies on plant diversity in these two border districts, and can be used to facilitate the long-term conservation and sustainable use of plant resources in this Himalayan region.

The data were collected during April 2004 to March 2005. A total of 25328 (including unidentified plant species) species were recorded in which trees, shrubs, herbs, climbers and woody grasses were 51.56, 27.60, 7.81, 10.41, and 2.61% of the total species, respectively. The total number of plants belongs to 98 families under 141 genera and 192 species (excluding unknown species). Among these, 65 fruit tree species under 38 genera and 25 families (of which 8 species were rare and endangered), 16 timber plant species under 12 genera and 9 families, 32 medicinal plant species under 29 genera and 24 families (of which 7 species were rate and endangered), 44 ornamental plant species under 34 genera and 25 families (of which 2 species were rare and endangered), 4 spices plant species under 4 genera and 4 families, 11 vegetables plant species under 9 genera and 6 families, 5 bamboo species under 2 genera and one family, 3 rattan (Bet) plant (which were rare and endangered) species under one genus and one family, 10 palm plant species under 10 genera and 2 families, and 2 rubber plant species under 2 genera and one family were recorded.

Aspergillus spp. are a common contaminant of grapes and a major source of mycotoxins. China is the largest producer of grape in the world now, however, the toxigenic Aspergillus population on grape in this country is still largely unknown. In this study, a total of 345 strains were isolated from grapes of 13 main grapevine producing regions in China. Based on calmodulin gene sequences, eight species within Aspergillus section Nigri were identified. Among them, Aspergillus tubingensis (48.7%) was predominant, followed by Aspergillus welwitschiae (20.6%) and Aspergillus aculeatinus (11%). Average of contamination level was up to 64.19%, and we found the occurrence of section Nigri species on the surface of fresh grapes was significantly influenced by the climate (P<0.05). The subtropical monsoon climate showed the highest fungal detection rate (72.45%), followed by the temperate monsoon climate (49.82%), and the lowest frequency was found in the temperate continental climate (37.23%). Regarding mycotoxin-producing capacity, 4.4% of the total tested section Nigri isolates (137) were positive for ochratoxin A (OTA) production and 59.6% were fumonisin B2 (FB2) producers. Of those, Aspergillus carbonarius was the main OTA producer and A. welwitschiae and Aspergillus niger were the main FB2 producers with different toxigenic ability. Our results highlight the potential risk of OTA and FB2 contamination by A. carbonarius and A. welwitschiae on grape in China, respectively; management strategies should be considered for preventing and reducing the toxigenic Aspergillus and its mycotoxins.

Kunlun Mountains

Large-scale patterns of biodiversity and the underlying mechanisms that regulate these patterns are central topics in biogeography and macroecology. The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is a natural laboratory for studying these issues. However, most previous studies have focused on the entire QTP, and the independent physical geographical subunits in the region are not well understood. We studied the current plant diversity on the Kunlun Mountains, an independent physical geographical subunit located in northwest China, on the northern edge of the QTP. We integrated measures of species distribution, geological history, and phylogeography, and analyzed the taxonomic richness, origin time, and community phylogenetic structure of the plants present in the area. The distribution patterns of 1,911 seed plants highlighted that species were located mainly in the eastern regions of the Kunlun Mountains. Chinese endemic species of seed plants accounted for 29.8% of the total species on the Kunlun Mountains. The biodiversity patterns and mean divergence times (MDT) indicated that the eastern region of the Kunlun Mountains was the center for biodiversity conservation, particularly in the southeastern region, which has served as a museum for plant diversity on the Kunlun Mountains. According to the MDT, the origin time of the Kunlun Mountains’ flora (KMF) was early Miocene (19.40 Ma), and the KMF is ancient. The biogeographical roles of the Kunlun Mountains were corridor and sink, and the corresponding key processes were species immigration and extinction. The extant biodiversity on the Kunlun Mountains has occurred through species recolonization after climatic fluctuations and glaciations during the Quaternary. The Kunlun Mountains also formed a barrier, representing a boundary among multiple floras, and converted the QTP into a closed physical geographical unit. The nearest taxon index indicated that habitat filtering may have played an important role in biodiversity patterns.

The efficient utilization of plant resources is a necessary and important measure for sustainable management of constructed wetlands. Screening bioactive metabolites from wetland plants could reveal potential solutions for the utilization of constructed wetland plant resources. In this study, the constructed wetland macrophyte Nymphoides peltata was screened for constituents with antitumor activity. The secondary metabolites of N. peltata were extracted and separated by MCI gel, silica gel, and Sephadex gel column chromatography. Antitumor tests were then carried out with MTT assay against the human prostate cancer cell PC3 and the human osteosarcoma cell U2OS. The secondary metabolite group with the most significant antitumor activity was further examined, and four constituents were obtained and identified. This study provides a scientific basis for the potential efficient utilization of N. peltata and other constructed wetland plant resources.
