Sterculia lanceolata , a tree species of the Malvaceae family with notable ornamental and medicinal value, has long been constrained in genetic research and breeding applications due to the lack of genomic resources. In this study, we report for the first time a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly of this species, aimed at elucidating its evolutionary history and the genetic basis of key traits. We constructed the g...

Diatoms and dinoflagellates are two pivotal phytoplankton groups present in coastal ecosystems that play key roles in marine food webs and biogeochemical cycles. The diatom-to-dinoflagellate ratio (diat/dino ratio) serves as an indicator of ecosystem status and phytoplankton community dynamics; however, the specific taxa that contribute to its variability remain poorly understood. This study investigated the phytoplankton comm...
