Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Yunxia He"
- Yunxia He's recent research focuses on the intricate roles of peptides and signaling pathways in enhancing plant immunity and stress responses, specifically studying C-TERMINALLY ENCODED PEPTIDES (CEP) in *Arabidopsis* and their perception by receptor-like kinases.
- In a significant finding, He identified a novel regulatory mechanism where two U-box E3 ligases, PUB5 and PUB44, antagonistically modulate the NLR receptor SUMM2-mediated autoimmunity in plants, contributing to the understanding of plant immune systems.
- Additionally, He is exploring the applications of natural compounds in food safety and preservation, through innovative methods such as self-assembled colloidal dispersions from essential oils, indicating a multidisciplinary approach in her research that bridges plant biology and food science.
