A research team led by Prof. WANG Ying from the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with researchers from Hainan University, has decoded high-quality reference genomes for the three key species. This study reports genome sizes of 425 Mb for G. uralensis, 447 Mb for G. inflata, and 423 Mb for G. glabra.
Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified the pivotal role of two specific genes, OsIRT1 and OsIRT2, in the process of iron uptake in rice plants, and revealed that this form of iron is the most accessible in the flooded paddies that characterize these plants' typical growing environment.
A recent review by Prof. ZHU Bing and Associate Professor XIONG Jun from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reveals how epigenetic regulation not only maintains gene transcriptional states but also "presets" gene expression states well before it is required.
Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified two new species of flowering plants in the remote forests of Motuo County, Xizang Autonomous Region, highlighting the region’s critical role as a global biodiversity refuge.
Researchers from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the collaborators reported that C. militaris infecting silkworm larvae promotes caterpillar feeding and weight gain, which benefits fungal fruiting on fatty and more nutritious pupae.
Researchers from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science, the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medical and Fudan University, designed a novel 3βHSD1 inhibitor, HEAL-116, which has superior enzymatic activity and favorable pharmacokinetic properties, providing a new strategy for prostate cancer treatment and overcoming resistance to second-generation ARPIs.
