Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Yicong Fan"
- Yicong Fan's recent research indicates a focus on improving the biosynthesis pathways in fermentation processes, particularly emphasizing the production of diacetyl in winemaking while addressing the challenges posed by environmental conditions post-alcohol fermentation.
- In a separate study, Fan explored the mechanisms of cadmium (Cd2+) uptake in rice roots, revealing spatial and temporal dynamics of Cd2+ influx through calcium-permeable channels, an important step towards engineering crops with lower cadmium accumulation.
- By integrating biochemistry and plant physiology, Fan aims to enhance agricultural sustainability and food quality, highlighting the intersection of microbial metabolism and plant nutrient uptake in addressing both food production and safety concerns.
