A new study led by Prof. Tan Zhiliang from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has unveiled intricate coordination mechanisms between ruminal mucosal microbiota and host epithelial cells across developmental phases. This study, published in SCIENCE CHINA-Life Sciences on February 11, could pave the way for increasing livestock survival and productivity through targeted microbiome stewardship during critical windows. Wu Jian serves as the first author of this paper, while Jiao Jinzhen and Zhou Chuanshe are the corresponding authors.
A research team led by Prof. Tan Zhiliang from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has uncovered the microbial mechanisms underlying the low methane emission trait in the hindgut of ruminants. Their groundbreaking study, titled “Reductive acetogenesis is a dominant process in the ruminant hindgut” was recently published in the prestigious microbiology journal Microbiome on January 28.
A researcher team led by Prof. WANG Kelin from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted a regional scale sampling in a karst region in southern China. Recently, they have revealed how intensive agriculture affects the complexity and stability of soil biota networks, and how these effects are linked to soil functions. Their study was published in Global Change Biology on January 22.
A research team led by Prof. Yin Yulong from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture, Chinese Academy of Sciences, investigated the metabolic difference of longissimus dorsi muscle between Taoyuan black pigs and Duroc pigs at different ages, and revealed the mechanism of muscle-adipose tissue interaction mediated by muscle-derived secretory metabolites.
A research team led by Professor Xie Yonghong from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture, Chinese Academy of Sciences, conducted field investigations and controlled experiments to analyze the characteristics of sediment hardening and its impacts on the growth of submerged plants. At the time, they explored various sediment remediation measures to promote the growth of submerged vegetation. Their new findings were recently published in Plant and soil and Frontiers in Plant Science.
Cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As), the two main inorganic pollutants in arable land in China, have strong biological toxicity and soil availability. It is easy to accumulate in rice (Oryza sativa L.) and affect health after entering the human body through the food chain. Iron fertilizer has been widely used to reduce Cd content in rice. Compared with inorganic iron fertilizer, chelated iron fertilizer has a better effect on reducing Cd accumulation in rice.
ssociate Prof. Yan Qiongxian and Prof.Tan Zhiliang visited Suranaree University of Technology (SUT), located in Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand, and held in-depth discussions with international cooperation partner Dr. Pramote Paengkoum's research team during August 20 to 22.
