Chromosomal deletions in banana somaclonal variants reveal negative regulators of immunity underlying Fusarium wilt resistance.
Academia Sinica Builds First Dual Carbon Fixation System in Plants, Published in Science
The carbon absorbed by plants through photosynthesis accounts for the vast majority of carbon uptake on Earth. However, the efficiency of this process still leaves much room for improvement. Enhancing carbon fixation efficiency in plants and promoting their growth is a major focus of the global scientific community.
Dual-cycle CO2 fixation enhances growth and lipid synthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana
Water as a Compass: Hydrostimulation-Triggered Aerial Root Growth in Phalaenopsis aphrodite
Epiphytic orchids have evolved specialized adaptive strategies, such as aerial roots with water- absorbing velamen tissues, to cope with water- scarce and nutrient- deficient habitats. Our previous study revealed that the aerial roots of the epiphytic orchid Phalaenopsis aphrodite lack a gravitropic response,

A chloroplast sulphate transporter modulates glutathione-mediated redox cycling to regulate cell division
Glutathione redox cycling is important for cell cycle regulation, but its mechanisms are not well understood. We previously identified a small-sized mutant, suppressor of mat3 15-1 (smt15-1) that has elevated cellular glutathione.
Diverse geotropic responses in the orchid family
In epiphytes, aerial roots are important to combat water‐deficient, nutrient‐poor, and high‐irradiance microhabitats. However, whether aerial roots can respond to gravity and whether auxin plays a role in regulating aerial root development remain open‐ended questions.
