Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Tianci Yan"
- Tianci Yan's research predominantly focuses on molecular biology and plant physiology, particularly aimed at enhancing drought tolerance and understanding melatonin biosynthesis in apple (Malus domestica) through the modulation of key transcription factors.
- Recent studies highlight the interaction between transcription factors MdWRKY17 and MdWRKY50, contributing to improved drought resistance and melatonin content in apple plants, which in turn enhances their tolerance to abiotic stresses.
- Yan's work further extends to exploring enzyme inhibitors from natural products and developing advanced analytical techniques for studying protein functions and interactions, positioning his contributions at the intersection of biochemistry, pharmacology, and agricultural science.
