What is the difference between French plane tree, paulownia, and Chinese parasol tree?
The Chinese parasol tree is a deciduous tree of the family Sterculiaceae. It is not related to the tung tree (Euphorbiaceae), the paulownia of the family Scrophulariaceae, or the French plane tree (Platanaceae), despite sharing the name "tong." The Chinese parasol tree is tall and imposing, with a trunk free of knots that rises straight upward, holding aloft a great emerald-green umbrella of foliage with a spirited bearing. Its bark is smooth and jade-green, its leaves dense, and from trunk to branch it is lush throughout, appearing exceedingly elegant and clean - no wonder people also call it "qingtong" (green paulownia). "A single green jade stands upright, a thousand leaves like green clouds piled up" - these two lines of poetry capture to the fullest the charm of the Chinese parasol tree's green leaves and jade trunk, and the graceful shade it casts.

How large are the DNA differences between different breeds of dogs?
In an issue of the journal Science, researchers wrote that the genetic differences between different breeds of dogs are unusually pronounced, so much so that they can determine a dog's breed based solely on its DNA. This phenomenon is related to humans controlling inbreeding in dogs over the past 300 years to obtain different dog characteristics. This shows that humans can indeed play an important role in the field of species evolution. When researchers analyzed the DNA genetic code of dogs in an attempt to further understand the genetic factors of human diseases, they were surprised to find that, in just the past few hundred years, not
