A research team led by Prof. YE Keqiong from the Institute of Biophysics developed a high-throughput method consisting of RNA circularization, targeted amplification, and deep sequencing (CircTA-seq) to profile ribosomal RNA (rRNA) processing intermediates at single-molecule and single-nucleotide resolution.

Researchers at the Wuhan Botanical Garden conducted germination experiments with seeds from a species-rich alpine meadow in the Hengduan Mountains to find out whether and how the germination strategies of seeds with and without pericarps were influenced by maternal conditions and intrinsic resource levels.

Scientists from the Institute of Botany have identified Eocene, Oligocene, and Miocene boundaries as turning points for the transition of survival strategies in the grape family (Vitaceae).

A research team led by Prof. GAO Lizeng from the Institute of Biophysics proposed a bactericidal mechanism based on nanozymes that simulate antimicrobial peptides and antimicrobial enzymes according to biomimicry principles, and designed a dual-functional high-efficiency antimicrobial nanozyme.

Researchers from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology have provided mechanistic insights into how SLAC1, a key anion channel specifically expressed on the plasma membrane of guard cells that form stomata in plant leaves, is activated by phosphorylation.

Researchers led by Prof. ZHANG Jinsong and Prof. ZHOU Yihua from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology have shown that ethylene inhibition of root growth depends on CELLULOSE SYNTHASE-LIKE C proteins-mediated xyloglucan induction in the cell wall of rice.

A research team led by LI Wei and ZHOU Qi from the Institute of Zoology has developed an innovative gene-writing technology based on retrotransposons. This achievement enables all-RNA-mediated targeted gene integration in human cells.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and their collaborators investigated the contribution of the four processes to co-occurring tree and fungal communities in three approximately 20-hectare forest ecosystems in Yunnan Province, China.

scientists from the Institute of Biophysics, Westlake University, and the Institute of Botany, used a combination of biochemical, mass spectrometry analysis, and cryo-electron microscopy techniques to discover a protein complex bound to the monomeric core complex of photosystem II (PSII) produced under high light conditions and named it the PSII-TPP complex.

Researchers from the Wuhan Botanical Garden collaborated closely with multiple research institutions in China, reconstructed the phylogeny of Ainsliaea, revealing the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary pathways of key traits among species.

Researchers from the Institute of Biophysics and the University of Toronto, Canada, discovered a novel anti-CRISPR protein called AcrIF25, which inhibits the activity of the CRISPR-Cas system by dismantling the I-F type CRISPR-Cas complex, providing a new approach for precise control of the CRISPR-Cas system.

A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Daoyuan and Prof. ZHANG Yuanming from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, along with academician KUANG Tingyun from the Institute of Botany, evaluated the extraordinary resilience of an extreme stress-resistant desert moss—Syntrichia caninervis.
