Since 2019, Dr. Peng Huiping from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the guidance of his supervisor Prof. Feng Liu, has collaborated with Prof. Mingli Wan from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Prof. Wan Yang from Missouri University of Science and Technology, and Prof. Jun Liu from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, to conduct detailed research on palynomorphs from the well-dated South Taodonggou section exposed on the western margin of the Turpan-Hami Basin in Xinjiang, China. This research provides new fossil evidence for understanding the evolution of terrestrial vegetation in the Turpan-Hami Basin during the end-Permian mass extinction, with findings recently published in Science Advances.
Researchers led by Prof. WU Qingfeng at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology explored the ongoing process of neural cell competition, a fundamental mechanism that shapes the brain across the lifespan, providing fresh insights into how brain cells continuously "compete" for survival and how this competition impacts brain development, wiring, function, and aging.
A team led by FU Xiangdong and LU Fei from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology has achieved a near-complete assembly of the wheat CS genome, addressing the issues of high repetitive sequences and polyploidy in wheat genomics and providing a model for sequencing other complex crop genomes.
Chinese scientists from Prof. ZHOU Jianmin’s team at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology revealed that a widespread plant defense metabolite may help combat bacterial diseases in crops. The metabolite, erucamide, inhibits the virulence of pathogenic bacteria by specifically targeting the Type III Secretion injectisome assembly.
A research team led by TIAN Zhixi from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, in collaboration with colleagues, has pioneered a groundbreaking "macro-single-cell-spatial" three-level transcriptional analysis system.
Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences underscored the pivotal role of environmental and neighbourhood effects in shaping the growth of a dominant canopy species, Pometia pinnata, in tropical forest.
