Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Zi-Liang Hu"
- Zi-Liang Hu's research primarily focuses on the genetic and molecular mechanisms that regulate plant growth and development, particularly in relation to leaf shape diversity and light signaling pathways.
- In a recent study, Hu identified a genetic module involving the CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON1 transcription factor, which plays a crucial role in determining the differences in leaf morphology between two crucifer species.
- Hu's work also delves into the regulation of plant signaling, revealing how reversible SUMOylation of key proteins like FHY1 and the involvement of SUMO E3 ligase SIZ1 affect photomorphogenic responses in Arabidopsis.
