Previously, Dr. David W. Ow’ s group in South China Botanical Garden found that overexpression of Arabidopsis OXS3 (OXIDATIVE STRESS 3) or OXS3-like cDNAs in Schizosaccharomyces pombe enhances tolerance to heavy metals or oxidizing chemicals, and they speculated that the OXS proteins could ...

Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration in tropical and subtropical forests plays a key role in mitigating global climate change. The impact of human activities on soil carbon sink potential in the tropics has aroused wide concerns at global scale. However, it is still unclear how the legacy effe...

Carbon sequestration in subtropical forests is an important way to achieve the double carbon goals of "emission peak" and "carbon neutrality" in China. However, carbon sequestration in subtropical forests changes greatly from year to year, making it difficult for accurate simulation and predictio...

A recent study, concerning phylogenomics of the IRLC (inverted repeat-lacking clade) and the spatiotemporal evolution of the tribe Wisterieae, was published in Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution by Dr. Lei Duan under the guidance of prof. Hong-Feng Chen from South China Botanical Garden of the...

Considering climate change, it is crucial to investigate the impact of climate change on forest growth in fragile ecosystems along the Silk Road, which is a prerequisite for ensuring sustainable economic and ecological development on the Silk Road. Therefore, ZHOU Peng from the South China Botani...
