A new study by Prof. ZHU Bing from the Institute of Biophysics has shed light on the conserved mechanism responsible for the initiation of pericentric heterochromatin in vertebrates.
A research team led by Dr. ZHU Yingjie from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences presented a comprehensive transcriptional profile of the lateral septum (LS) at the single-cell level, and elucidated the spatial distribution of its major neuronal types.
To analyze the variation of plant and microbial-derived carbon in topsoil and subsoil along different latitude gradients, researchers from the Wuhan Botanical Garden selected six typical forests, ranging from Jianfengling to Genhe along a latitude gradient as study sites. Amino sugars and lignin phenols were used as biomarkers to indicate microbial- and plant-derived carbon, respectively.
A collaborative research team led by QIAN Wenfeng from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology and Peking University has developed a plant gene drive system called CRISPR-Assisted Inheritance utilizing NPG1 (CAIN), which, according to the researchers, uses a toxin antidote mechanism in the male germline to override Mendelian inheritance in plants.
A team led by Prof. XIAO Jun from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology elucidated the transcriptional regulatory network during wheat endosperm development and identified key regulatory factors impacting this process.
Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden conducted a soil warming experiment to evaluate the effects of warming on soil respiration in different ecosystems and the sensitivity of soil respiration to soil temperature and soil moisture content in different ecosystems.
