During host–pathogen coevolution, plants have evolved intracellular-localized NOD-like receptors (NLRs) that monitor pathogen effectors and trigger effector-triggered immunity (ETI). Overexpression of NLRs (i.e. SUPPRESSOR OF npr1-1, CONSTITUTIVE 1, SNC1) or its interacting proteins (i.e. an SNC1-interacting protein TOPLESS-RELATED 1, TPR1) results in autoimmunity, which reduces plant...

Some plants require winter season for flowering so called vernalization which is a key agriculture trait for crop breeding. Mechanism with molecular module for remembering winter is a key base for the molecular design for crop breeding. Recently, a review article entitled “Remembering winter through vernalization” from Kang Chong’s group from Institute of Botany, CAS has been publis...

A recent study carried out in Eastern China has found that forests full of diverse species of trees are capable of absorbing twice as much carbon as forests full of a single species of tree. It is hoped that this discovery could help combat climate change by enabling conservation groups to cultivate forests capable of absorbing more CO2. Cultivating A Forest For Research In 200...
