Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Zengyu Liu"
- Zengyu Liu's research primarily focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying plant morphogenesis, with a special emphasis on the roles of the cytoskeleton and cell wall components in regulating growth and structural integrity in rice (Oryza sativa).
- Recent studies highlight the function of receptor-like kinases and transcription factors, such as WAK10 and OsERF34, in modulating secondary cell wall synthesis and cell expansion, demonstrating how genetic variations influence rice stem height and structural strength.
- Liu also utilizes advanced fluorescent markers to investigate cytoskeletal dynamics and vacuolar functions in rice cells, contributing significant insights into the interplay between cellular structures and environmental responses during plant development.
