A research team led by Prof. KANG Le from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has discovered that locusts bypass the classical GPCR pathway entirely. Instead, they rely on inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)—a specific molecule—as the core second messenger in their olfactory signal transduction process.
A research team led by Prof. HAN Shuo from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a novel cell-surface protein engineering strategy called Proximity Amplification and Tagging of Cytotoxic Haptens (PATCH), which applies proximity labeling to immunomodulation for the first time.
Chinese researchers led by Prof. WANG Wenda and Prof. TIAN Lijin from the Institute of Botany have revealed a breakthrough in understanding the light-harvesting efficiency of coccolithophores.
Researchers from the Wuhan Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have solved part of that puzzle, identifying a specific transcriptional module "WmABF1-1-WmMYB111" that controls the plant's leaf senescence and underpins its survival.
A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Jinsong from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered a brake gene for oil control in soybeans. This discovery has implications for improving oilseed crop productivity and addressing global demands for sustainable vegetable oil sources.
A research team led by Prof. YANG Yuanhe from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with partners, has found that prolonged warming significantly reduces soil nitrogen (N) stocks in Tibetan permafrost ecosystems.
