Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Qiyu Deng"
- Qiyu Deng's recent research focuses on plant development and genetic mechanisms, particularly in rice, examining the roles of transcription factors like WOX11 and LBD16 in crown root formation, which is crucial for nutrient absorption and stress tolerance.
- The studies also explore novel mechanisms of liquid transport in biological systems, demonstrating unidirectional liquid movement on shoot surfaces, which opens new avenues for biomimetic applications in fluid dynamics.
- In addition, Deng's work highlights the interactions between circadian rhythms and metabolic processes, investigating the effects of various interventions, such as light flicker and specific compounds like physcion, on circadian clock regulation and their implications for conditions like alcoholic liver disease and Alzheimer's disease.
