Evolutionary Studies Drive the Elucidation of Plant Natural Product Biosynthetic Pathways
Plant natural products are a major source of pharmaceuticals, with over one-third of FDA-approved drugs derived from natural products and their derivatives.
How to reduce the negative impacts of artificial light at night on flying insects
We are reporting on our inter- and trans-disciplinary applied research that aimed to reduce negative effects of light pollution on nocturnal insects
Crop redistribution can reduce the environmental footprint within groundwater depletion regions by more than one-third and contribute to the recovery of groundwater table
How to provide co-benefits of food security, resource use efficiency, and friendly environment for spatially targeted, remains unanswered especially in groundwater depletion (GWD) regions. we developed a framework for crop redistribution to achieve synergistic effects across multi-dimensions.
Characterizing amphioxus development at the single-cell level: understanding chordate nervous system development
Our team uncovers new amphioxus central nervous system (CNS) cell types and we highlight three developmental origins for the vertebrate nervous system.
