2010-12-24Gibberellins (GAs) modulate jasmonate (JA) signalingGibberellins(GAs)modulate jasmonate(JA)signaling,which is essential for stress response and development of plants. A great progress achieved on this field recently. Because DELLAs serve as central regulators that mediate the crosstalk of various phytohormones,our mode lalso suggests a candidate mechanism by which JA signaling may be fine-tuned b... Gibberellins (GAs) modulate jasmonate (JA) signaling, which is essential for stress response and development of plants. However, the molecular details of such phytohormone interaction remain largely unknown.Read More

2010-12-10South China Institute of Botany Gets Grant of Key Program from Natural Science Foundation of China on Forest TranspirationHow forests regulate transpiration in order to adapt to the new distribution pattern of water and to maintain effective water use is a pressing issue needing to be addressed. The new project hypothesizes that hydraulic conductance and canopy stomatal conductance of trees jointly control the response of forest water use to evaporative demand in c... With previous projects funded by Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Chinese Academy Science Knowledge Innovative Program and Natural Science Foundation of Guangdong Province, the Research Group of Ecosystem Physiology, headed by Prof. ZHAO Ping, has conducted research on plantation water use and H2O/CO2 exchange fluxes between forest ca...Read More
