Recently, Prof. ZHAO Fangqing’s team from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a novel targeted RNA sequencing approach called PROgrammable Full-length Isoform Transcriptome sequencing (PROFIT-seq). This strategy effectively captures a broad spectrum of transcriptome samples, providing effective enrichment of target transcripts while maintaining unbiased quantification of the entire transcriptome.
In a study published in BMC Plant Biology, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden compared competitive outcomes between invasive C. odorata and two native plants under different phosphorus and irradiance levels to provide valuable information for understanding the invasion mechanism of C. odorata.
Cold damage is a major challenge in rice production, and identifying key gene modules in signaling pathways is a crucial means of addressing this issue. A Chinese research team has recently discovered a part of the plant’s cell membrane that helps plants sense when it's cold.
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), widely cultivated in cool-season for forage supply and turfgrass, is extremely susceptible to high temperature. A recent study has discovered a pivotal stress-responsive gene, combating heat stress in perennial ryegrass.
A research team from the Institute of Biophysics (IBP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Beijing Normal University has integrated datasets related to brain development from different layers, including single-cell transcriptomics, spatial transcriptomics, and epigenomics, to build the MAPbrain, a Multi-omics Atlas of the Primate brain.
Wild allotetraploid rice (Oryza alta) is a kind of polyploid wild rice with CCDD genome, high biomass and strong stress resistance. However, the wild rice has a major drawback: strong seed shattering. A collaborative research team from China has recently used nanotechnology to significantly improve the seed shattering resistance of the wild rice O. alta, bringing new insight for future rice breeding.
