Researchers led by Prof. DING Jingjin from the Institute of Biophysics and Prof. SHAO Feng from the National Institute of Biological Sciences have revealed novel mechanisms for cleavage-independent activation of two types of GSDM proteins from lower eukaryotes.
A vast DNA tree of life brings open access DNA sequences of more than 9,500 flowering plants was recently achieved by scientists from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, together with collaborators from the Kunming Institute of Botany and around the globe, this invaluable resource lets us answer key questions about modern plant life and look back in time to its origins.
During a field investigations in southern Yunnan, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden found a unique winged fruit fossil from the Lower Miocene Sanhaogou Formation of the Jinggu Basin. After careful morphological studies and comparison with extant species, the researchers confirmed it as a new Mezoneuron pod fossil, and represented the first fossil occurrence of this genus in Asia and the only one within its current distribution range.
Researchers at the Wuhan Botanical Garden have developed a Transformer-based method, called scmFormer, to integrate large-scale single-cell proteomics and transcriptomics data using a multi-task transformer.
Dr. GAO Caixia from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology has described the current progress of the technical innovation in editing tools, the development of superior delivery methods as well as their advanced applications in crop breeding.
Researchers from the Wuhan Botanical Garden, in collaboration with researchers from Northwest Institute of Plateau Biology, conducted a meta-analysis to synthesize existing research on the effects of leaf traits and soil fauna on litter decomposability on a global scale.
