Expansion of Transposable Elements Offers Clue to Genetic Paradox[Mar 18, 2019]
A research group led by Prof. GUO Yalong from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IBCAS), together with SONG Ge, and Sureshkumar Balasubramanian from the School of Biological Sciences, Monash University, Australia, has revealed that transposable element (TE) insertions could potentially help species with limited genetic variation adapt to novel environments.
Researchers Explore Water Use Patterns of Riparian Plants in Xishuangbanna[Mar 18, 2019]
Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) used isotopic data of hydrogen (δD) and oxygen (δ18O) to explore the spatial and seasonal variation in water use pattern of riparian vegetation. They also used the MixSIAR model (Bayesian mixing model) to determine the contribution of different water sources of riparian plants.
Scientists Reveal the Mechanism of A. aculeatus-mediated Protective Plant Responses to Cd Stress[Mar 18, 2019]
Supervised by Prof. Fu Jinmin, XIE Yan, a research assistant of Wuhan Botanical Garden, assessed the tolerance, biosorption capacity for Cd and surface characteristics of this fungus, and investigated the A. aculeatus-mediated protective plant responses to Cd stress in rice.
Ni Promoted Ceria-Titanium Oxide Redox Catalysts Enhance Solar Fuel Production[Mar 18, 2019]
A research group led by Prof. WANG Xiaodong from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics developed a Ni promoted ceria-titanium oxide catalytic system for highly effective thermochemical CO2 and H2O splitting as well as partial oxidation of CH4 at 900 °C.
Scientists Use Two-photon Photodynamic Therapy on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Deep Tumors[Mar 13, 2019]
Recently, in cooperation with professor WANG Jianfang from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the biomedical imaging and treatment research group led by Prof. LIU Jun from Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, was dedicated to the rapid imaging and treatment of deep biological tissue and cells.
Adoption of Industrial-scale Aquaculture Causes Rapid Growth in Greenhouse Gas Emissions[Mar 15, 2019]
A research team led by Prof. DING Weixin from the Institute of Soil Sciences,in collaboration with scientists from Bangor University and Yonsei University, conducted a field study in the Taihu Lake basin to explore the greenhouse gas costs of converting paddy fields to extensively managed crab culturing ponds.
