• CMBS adapts well to hot environment, but limited by cold temperature

• Cold tolerance model can help to understand the performance of CMBS and predict its distribution in the US

• CMBS can attack at least five other plant species including American beautyberry, pomegranate, henna, heimia, and winged loosestrife

Nothing on this slide!! Get back to the last one!
