Scientists Review Strategies to Optimize Cyanobacteria Chassis Cells for Photosynthetic Biomanufacturing[Sep 17, 2019]
A research team led by Prof. LU Xuefeng from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology made a systematic and comprehensive summary on designing principles and engineering strategies on developing advanced cyanobacteria chassis cells toward the requirements of photosynthetic biomanufacturing in the future.
Scientists Reveal A "Middle Way" of Plant Defense Response[Sep 17, 2019]
In a recent study, HOU Xingliang's research group from South China Botanical Garden reported the latest research progress on the precise regulation of growth-defense balance in plants. DELLA protein is a key negative regulator of gibberellin (GA) signaling pathway, which functions in many aspects of plant growth and development, and also participates in the regulation of plant stress response.
Researchers Sequence the Complete Plastomes of Saussurea[Sep 17, 2019]
The Plant Systematics and Evolution Group of Wuhan Botanical Garden collected the all four subgenera of Saussurea, and conducted the plastome phylogenomics analyses of Saussurea during the investigation of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, one of the key high-altitude biodiversity hotspots in the world.
Researchers Develop DNA-based Markers to Authenticate "Gusuibu"[Sep 17, 2019]
In a recent study, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) developed one specific DNA barcode and three sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers to authenticate "Gusuibu" origin species. They also designed universal and species specific primer pairs.
CYP72A, a New Player Controlling Plant Gibberellins Metabolism[Sep 16, 2019]
Recently, researchers in Dr. WANG Guodong's group from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology identified a new player controlling plant GAs metabolism. They discovered that members of the CYP72A subfamily, rather than CYP714 subfamily, encode bona fide gibberellin 13-oxidase.
Wuliang Mountains Harbor High Diversity of Medicinal Plants[Sep 11, 2019]
In a recent study, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) recorded a total of 302 medicinal species in Wuliang Mountains, showing a high diversity of traditional medicinal plants.
