Recently, a collaborative research team led by LI Jiayang from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, developed a multiplex gene editing tool named the Cas9-PE system, capable of simultaneously achieving precise editing and site-specific random mutagenesis in rice.
Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and collaborators investigated the water transport characteristics of mistletoes and their host plants under different drought environments, and presented the first comprehensive regional dataset, encompassing 12 xylem traits related to hydraulic efficiency, mechanical strength, and safety.
Researchers from the Institute of Psychology and the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology provided insights into the genetic and neural basis of facial emotion recognition in humans and monkeys.
In a breakthrough study published in Science on Nov. 15, international researchers have identified mechanisms driving age-dependent morphological changes occurring in the root apical meristem during phase change.
A research team led by Dr. WU Yuejin from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science recently unveiled the molecular underlying mechanism of how these veins form and develop. A gene called SM1 plays a crucial role in the development of rice leaf veins and affects methane emissions from rice plants, they found.
A group of researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) has been investigating the interactions between root-zone microorganisms and plant root exudates, and how these microorganisms in turn influenced plant health and growth. Their recent attention to the aerial root mucilagestudy has led to a novel model for studying the crucial interactions between functional metabolites and the probiotic microbiome, based on the aerial root mucilage probiotics system.
