Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden employed stable isotope analysis to explore N acquisition and differentiation among co-occurring epiphytes in Ailaoshan subtropical forest in Yunnan Province.

A research team led by Prof. WANG Junfeng from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science has developed a novel heat-sensitive ferritin mutant and realized easy and efficient loading of the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin.

A research team led by Prof. ZHAO Pengshan from the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources has revealed genetic and evolutionary characteristics of Tricotyledony in Sand Rice.

Researchers led by Prof. CAI Chenyang from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology have conducted phylogenetic reanalysis of the previously published anchored hybrid enrichment datasets, and solved the evolutionary relationships of extant weevil families.

A research group led by Prof. LI Dunhai from the Institute of Hydrobiology elucidated the regulatory effects, regulatory thresholds, and biological mechanisms of environmental concentrations of LAS on Microcystis bloom toxicity from the perspectives of photosynthesis, population competition, and microcystin (MCs) synthesis.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and their collaborators examined intra-annual stem growth and its climatic drivers for 14 common tree species in a monsoon montane subtropical forest.

Researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology and their collaborators have developed an integrated microfluidic chip (BSI-AST chip) for rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing from positive blood cultures.

A team led by Prof. WANG Qingfeng and Prof. CHEN Jinming from the Wuhan Botanical Garden, in collaboration with Prof. Spencer C. H. Barrett's team from the University of Toronto, investigated the genetic architecture of the single diallelic locus (S-locus) supergene (functionally associated genes that are completely linked) in distylous Nymphoides indica.

A research team led by Prof. LIN Nan from the Institute of Psychology found that during sentence processing, the neural activity of two canonical language areas, i.e., the left ventral temporoparietal junction and the lateral anterior temporal lobe, is associated with social-semantic working memory rather than language processing per se.

Prof. WANG Sibao from Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and his colleagues revealed that quorum sensing-activated phenylalanine metabolism drives outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) biogenesis to enhance commensal colonization resistance to Plasmodium in the mosquito gut.

A research team from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology has proposed a new method to elevate PET image quality, by using deep learning technology to optimize short-axis PET scanner images through high-quality long-axis PET scanner images.

Chinese scientists led by Prof. LI Chuanyou from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology have elucidated the mechanism of fruit shape formation in tomatoes and have developed fresh tomatoes for mechanical harvesting.
