Article Abstract
Underground storage organs occur in phylogenetically diverse plant taxa and arise from multiple tissue types including roots and stems. Thickening growth allows underground storage organs to accommodate carbohydrates and other nutrients and requires proliferation at various lateral meristems followed by cell expansion. The WOX-CLE module regulates thickening growth via the vascular cambium in several eudicot systems, but the molecular mechanisms of proliferation at other lateral meristems are not well understood. In potato, onion, and other systems, members of the phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP) gene family induce underground storage organ development in response to photoperiod cues. While molecular mechanisms of tuber development in potato are well understood, we lack detailed mechanistic knowledge for the extensive morphological and taxonomic diversity of underground storage organs in plants.

The Microbial Factor in Subsurface Hydrogen behavior: Implications for Wettability and Interfacial Dynamics.

Microbial activity plays a significant role in subsurface hydrogen behavior, with implications for underground storage and natural hydrogen systems. This study examines how microbial processes influence the wettability and solid-liquid interfacial characteristics of key subsurface minerals, calcite, dolomite, quartz, and gypsum, in hydrogen-brine-rock systems under realistic subsurface conditions. Wettability directly affects hydrogen distribution, flow dynamics, and trapping, making it a critical factor for both storage and natural recovery applications.

The pore structure characteristics of coal are crucial for coalbed methane adsorption and migration, carbon storage, and safety in deep coal mining. Although traditional methods can detect pore volume and distribution, they are limited in analysing pore morphology and surface properties. This study employs multiscale techniques including AFM (Atomic force microscopy), SEM (Scanning electron microscopy), and LP-NGA (Low-Pressure nitrogen gas adsorption) to systematically analyse the impact of coal rank changes on pore structure and its evolutionary process, covering coals from medium-volatile to low-volatile bituminous and anthracite coals.

While forest degradation persists across many regions, restoration efforts have predominantly targeted aboveground carbon, often overlooking critical belowground ecosystem functions. Plant-mycorrhizal associations - key connectors between aboveground and belowground biodiversity - can help to enhance both carbon storage and forest multifunctionality; yet their explicit integration into restoration frameworks remains limited. By synthesizing recent advancements, we highlight the role of plant-mycorrhizal diversity in enhancing soil carbon pools and supporting multiple ecosystem functions.

As tunnel engineering in western China advances deeper underground, it encounters increasing issues of high ground temperature and high water pressure. To study the mechanical properties of unloading sandstone under the combined effects of temperature and pore water pressure, triaxial unloading and reloading experiments were conducted on sandstone under different temperatures, pore water pressures, and confining pressures. The results showed: (1) The peak strength of unloading sandstone decreases with increasing temperature and pore water pressure.

Sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is a perennial aquatic plant classified into basal eudicots, propagating through both sexual (flowering) and vegetative (clonal) reproduction. In lotus, the transition from sexual to clonal reproductive phases (swelled rhizome formation) is induced by short-day photoperiods, but the molecular mechanism remains unclear. Recent studies have shown that signals inducing reproductive phase transitions, such as flowering and storage organ formation, are integrated into the regulation of FLOWERING LOCUS T/ TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (FT/TFL1) family gene expression.
