Unlocking the G-protein subunit GS3: How redox regulation forms grain size in rice
Credit: EMBO Journal (2025). doi:10.1038/s44318-025-00462-9 A research team led by Professor Li Yunhai of the Institute for Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed the previous hidden mechanisms of regulating rice grain size, a key determinant of crop yield and quality. Findings published in the EMBO Journal reveal how redox-dependent molecular interactions act as “switches”…

Experiments show that coating rice seedlings with durian-derived nanoscale carbon dots helps rice grow in saline soils
Rice seedlings sprayed with a carbon dot mixture derived from durian skin (far right) are stronger than untreated seedlings (second from left) and have acquired genes that improve salt tolerance and photosynthesis without genetic modification. It has manifested. Credit: Adapted from ACS Nano 2024, DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.4c09001 Abnormal weather and pollution have increased salinity in some soils, making growing conditions harsher…
