Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and their collaborators examined the impacts of reintroducing greater one-horned rhinoceros on restoring their ecological function, particularly their interactions with other mammals and birds via their dung (latrines).

Researchers led by Prof. XIAO Jun from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology have shown how TabHLH27 enhances wheat's drought tolerance and water use efficiency by balancing stress and growth.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and the Kunming Institute of Botany used a combination of sequencing technologies to perform whole-genome sequencing of West Indian avocado varieties. They assembled the first telomere-to-telomere gapless 841.6 Mb avocado genome sequence.

WANG Xiujie's group at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, in collaboration with SONG Jiangping's group at Fuwai Hospital, used single-cell RNA sequencing to elucidate the cell type composition and gene expression profiles of ITA, RA and RGA.

During a field survey of Angiopteris in the Gulinqing Nature Reserve, Yunnan Province, in August 2022, researchers led by Prof. CHEN Hongfeng from the South China Botanical Garden discovered a presumed new species within the genus, and they confirmed this species as a new species of the genus Angiopteris.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden evaluated the benefits and limitations of both reference-based approaches, using a closely related species as the reference genome versus using the species itself as the reference genome.

Researchers from the Wuhan Botanical Garden, in collaboration with researchers of Hunan Normal University, completed the sequencing and assembly of the complete mtDNA of Primulina hunanensis for the first time by using the latest sequencing technology with the advantage of long-reads (Nanopore).

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden identified the candidate mutant genes for the classic pea mutant afila as PsPALM1a and PsPALM1b, and further clarified how the conserved molecular regulatory module AF-UNI (pea)/MPL1-CaLFY (chickpea)/PALM1-SGL1 (alfalfa) mediates distinct compound leaf morphogenesis.

A research team led by Dr. LIANG Zhuyuan from the Institute of Psychology has discovered a double-edged-sword effect of overconfidence on gambling.

A research group led by Prof. XIAO Wuhan from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified that dual modifying of mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) at lysine 7 by SIRT3-catalyzed deacetylation and SIRT5-catalyzed desuccinylation orchestrates antiviral innate immunity.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and their collaborators conducted de novo assembly of 29 new plastomes including 20 samples from seven Cuscuta species and nine autotrophic species of Convolvulaceae to decipher the mechanism of plastome evolution in Cuscuta and its autotrophic plant relatives of Cuscutaceae.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and their collaborators investigated the effects of elevated CO₂ concentration on leaf gas exchange, nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, leaf and stem hydraulic conductivity, and seedling growth of four evergreen and four deciduous tree seedlings in the Ailaoshan subtropical forest in Yunnan.
