Vietnam is one of the main centers generic diversity for Juglandaceae worldwide. In this study, we present first time a province-wide distribution all 3 subfamilies, 7 genera, and 11 Vietnamese species, give an update on habitats their uses, current threats. are found throughout Vietnam. However, most species occur predominantly in northern part country between 600 1200 m. Some taxa range exten...

Emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), an invasive phloem-feeding pest, was identified as the cause of widespread ash (Fraxinus) mortality in southeast Michigan and Windsor, Ontario, Canada, in 2002. A. planipennis reportedly colonizes other genera in its native range in Asia, including Ulmus L., Juglans L., and Pterocarya Kunth. Attacks on nonash species h...

Tetracentron sinense Oliv, the only tall deciduous tree in family Tetracentraceae, is listed as a national second-grade key protected plant China. To reveal effect of associated species, irradiance, and altitudes on photosynthetic capacity T. sinense, physiological characteristics its species Acer pictum Pterocarya stenoptera were measured by Li-6400 portable meter. The light saturation point (...

Phylogenetic analyses of extant species of Juglans (Juglandaceae) with the New and Old World distributions were performed using five cpDNA intergenic spacer (IGS) sequences (trnT-trnF, psbA-trnH, atpB-rbcL, trnV-16S rRNA, and trnS-trnfM) to elucidate the origin, diversification, historical biogeography, and evolutionary relationships within the genus. Overall, 3848 characters were sampled, yiel...

The establishment of riparian protection forests in the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) is an ideal measure to cope with the eco-environmental problems of the water-level fluctuation zone (WLFZ). Thus, the information for screening winter-flood-tolerant woody plant species is useful for the recovery and re-establishment of the riparian protection forests in the TGR WLFZ. Therefore, we discussed th...
