A recent study highlights the pivotal role of alternative splicing in controlling plant secondary metabolism, which is crucial for producing bioactive compounds with significant medicinal and ...

In a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Jan. 30, a research team reports a new understanding of how light affects plant growth. Light plays a central role in plant ...

Cold acclimation is critical for the survival of plants in temperate regions under low temperatures, and C-REPEAT BINDING FACTORs (CBFs) are well established as key ...

The spliceosome in eukaryotes removes non-coding intronic sequences and ligates exons to produce functional messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNA) that code for proteins. However, while numerous studies ...

New research on the heat-tolerant shrub Rhododendron hainanense shows that escalating temperatures trigger a surge in ...

Newswise — While humans can escape the heat by seeking shade or shedding layers, plants remain rooted in place. So how do they survive extreme heat? It’s a question many have wondered—and now, science ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts. RNA splicing is a cellular process ...

In a study recently published in the PNAS on Jan. 30, a research team led by Prof. CAO Xiaofeng from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in ...
