Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and Anhui University provided the first quantification of the relative explanations of six factors that have been commonly considered to be associated with the interspecific variation in seed coat ratio, highlighting the important role of seed desiccation response and seed dormancy in explaining interspecific variation in the seed coat ratio.
A research team led by Profs. XU Tao and HE Shunmin from the Institute of Biophysics has elucidated the impact of non-coding regulatory elements on phenotypic evolution under adaptive selection in Han Chinese genome.
Researchers from the Institute of Biophysics, in collaboration with scientists from the Institute of Automation, have used artificial intelligence technology to empower in-situ structural biology and proposed a fast and accurate particle picking method based on weakly supervised deep learning, named DeepETPicker.
Researchers led by Prof. LIU Wenzhi from the Wuhan Botanical Garden characterized the distribution of the nitrification and denitrification rates and their communities in channel sediments, riparian rhizosphere soils, and riparian bulk soils in 30 nitrogen-polluted rivers along a latitudinal gradient across China.
A research team led by Prof. XU Pingyong from the Institute of Biophysics introduced the first negative regulator of NOX4 translation, the pivotal factor EI24. They uncovered the molecular mechanism by which EI24 precisely regulates H2O2 production by controlling NOX4 translation, and its implications for maintaining the redox equilibrium of pancreatic beta cells and insulin synthesis.
Focusing on five beaked Pedicularis species within the community that do not produce nectar and their three primary pollinating bumblebees, researchers from the Wuhan Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted a five-year field experiment to investigate in depth the factors that influence bumblebee flower-visiting preferences.
