A research team led by Prof. LI Wenjun from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography has made a breakthrough discovery in sustainable agriculture. Their new study reports that a desert bacterium, Nocardiopsis alba B57, can simultaneously fight harmful fungi and promote plant growth, offering a powerful alternative to chemical fungicides, marking a crucial step forward for ecological safety and sustainable agriculture in arid lands.
A research team led by Prof. WANG Yuexiang from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified Aurora Kinase B (AURKB) as a critical therapeutic vulnerability in advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).
A research team from the Wuhan Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has determined that plants act like astute financial managers when faced with herbivore attacks. They initially activate low - cost defenses and only deploy more "expensive weapons" when the threat becomes more severe.
A research team led by Prof. ZHOU Zheng from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. XU Chunfu at the National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing, has developed a comprehensive online database and analysis platform for nucleosome-binding proteins.
A team from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led by CAS member Prof. KANG Le, has conducted research and discovered that migratory locusts achieve a delicate balance between swarm formation, predator defense, and cannibalism avoidance through precise neural modulation of these two opposing olfactory signals.
A joint research team led by LI Lei at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, toether with TIAN Zhixi from the Yazhouwan National Laboratory, has identified a soybean phytocytokine–receptor module that confers broad-spectrum disease resistance.
