A research team led by Prof. KANG Le from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has discovered that locusts bypass the classical GPCR pathway entirely. Instead, they rely on inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)—a specific molecule—as the core second messenger in their olfactory signal transduction process.
A research team led by Prof. HAN Shuo from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences applied proximity labeling to immunomodulation for the first time and developed a novel cell-surface protein engineering strategy named Proximity Amplification and Tagging of Cytotoxic Haptens (PATCH), solving the key bottlenecks in immunotherapy.
Chinese researchers led by Prof. WANG Wenda and Prof. TIAN Lijin from the Institute of Botany have revealed a breakthrough in understanding the light-harvesting efficiency of coccolithophores.
Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences synthesized decades of research on fungicides through a global meta-analysis, and they revealed the complex and varied effects of fungicides on wild plant at species and community levels.
A research team led by Prof. LIU Xuncheng from the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has discovered the pathways that drive light-induced seed germination in plants. The findings identify a positive regulatory role for the KNOX-type transcription factor BP/KNAT1 in Arabidopsis and delineate its interplay with light-sensing proteins and hormone metabolism.
Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated the influence of climatic factors on the anatomical traits of wood in coniferous tree species in the Hengduan Mountains. They emphasized the susceptibility of subalpine conifers to changing climate patterns and pointed to the necessity for species-specific conservation strategies.
