Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and collaborators revealed how nitrate counteracts ABA-mediated suppression of seed germination in Arabidopsis, and discovered an antagonistic relationship between nitrate signaling and ABA pathways mediated through key transcriptional regulators.
A research team led by Prof. ZHU Andan from the Kunming Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences examined centromere divergence and evolutionary patterns in octoploid strawberries. They achieved this by generating a strawberry CENH3-specific antibody and employing advanced genome assembly techniques.
A research team led by Dr. LI Yunhai from Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology uncovered a novel genetic mechanism that controls grain size and yield in rice, offering promising strategies to enhance global food production.
A study led by Prof. LIU Feng from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified a crucial role for the tryptophan-aspartic acid (WD) repeat protein 5 (Wdr5) in maintaining the survival and genomic integrity of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) during embryonic development.
A new study led by Dr. TIAN Ye's research team at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology reveals that chronic mitochondrial stress in neurons promotes serotonin release via TMBIM-2-dependent calcium oscillations, which in turn activates the mitochondrial unfolded protein response in the intestine.
A team led by LIU Zhiyong from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology isolated Ne1 and understood hybrid necrosis in wheat, a phenomenon that severely hinders the aggregation of desirable traits and restricts the breeding of new varieties.
