F I G U R E 1 A in Linking plant functional traits to biodiversity under environmental change

F I G U R E 1 A diagram of the linkage between functional traits and biodiversity at multiple ecological scales. Across different scales, the diagram includes the response of functional traits to different environmental conditions, interactions under shifts in community structure and ecosystem functioning, which affect species' survival or extinction, and thus biodiversity. The diagram is constructed following a bottom‐up logic based on individual traits and aims to facilitate future trait‐diversity models to predict biodiversity responses under environmental change.

A Dataset of the Operating Station Heat Rate for 806 Indian Coal Plant Units using Machine Learning

<div> <div> <div> <div> India aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070 and has set an ambitious target of 500 GW of renewable power generation capacity by 2030. Coal plants currently contribute to more than 60% of India’s electricity generation in 2022. Upgrading and decarbonizing high-emission coal plants became a pressing energy issue. A key technical parameter for coal plants is the operating station heat rate (SHR), which represents the thermal efficiency of a coal plant. Yet, the operating SHR of Indian coal plants varies and is not comprehensively documented. This study extends from several existing databases and creates an SHR dataset for 806 Indian coal plant units using machine learning (ML), presenting the most comprehensive coverage to date. Additionally, it incorporates environmental factors such as water stress risk and coal prices as prediction features to improve accuracy. This dataset, easily downloadable from our visualization platform, could inform energy and environmental policies for India’s coal power generation as the country transitions towards its renewable energy targets. </div> </div> </div> </div>

Optimization of nuclei isolation for high-molecular weight DNA extraction of wild plants

Optimization of nuclei isolation for high-molecular weight DNA extraction from wild plants Authors Irene Martínez-García1; Martina Degli Alberti2; Aureliano, Bombarely2; Mario Xavier Ruiz-González1; Santiago Vilanova1; Silvia Manrique1   Affiliations 1 Instituto Universitario para la Conservación y Mejora de la Agrodiversidad Valenciana (COMAV), Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (UPV), Camino de Vera s/n 46022, Valencia, Spain) 2 Instituto de Biología Molecular y Celular de Plantas (IBMCP) Primo-Yufera, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC)- Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (UPV), Camino de Vera s/n 46022, Valencia, Spain)   Abstract Obtaining high-quality, high-molecular-weight (HMW) DNA is mandatory for constructing reference genomes, yet it remains a significant challenge, particularly for non-model plant species. Many plants contain polysaccharides and secondary metabolites such as polyphenols and tannins, which hinder DNA extraction. Exposure to multiple environmental stresses along their lives exacerbate this issue in wild plants collected from nature, as they may synthesize additional compounds that impair DNA extraction. This study investigates the efficacy of various DNA extraction protocols on four recalcitrant plant species—Pistacia lentiscus, Phyllirea angustifolia, Sarcocornia fruticosa, and Limbarda crithmoides—each possessing unique traits complicating DNA extraction (e.g., succulence, lignification, coloration). Samples were collected from El Saler (Valencia), and multiple protocols for nuclei isolation and DNA extraction were tested. The results were systematically evaluated to compile a comprehensive best practices guide, aiding researchers in selecting optimal methods tailored to their species of interest. This guide serves as a valuable resource for future endeavours in genome research, facilitating advancements in understanding and conservation efforts for diverse plant species.
