Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Zongxi Zhao"
- Zongxi Zhao's recent research has highlighted the detrimental effects of Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on biological aging, suggesting a direct correlation between PFAS exposure and increased C-reactive protein levels, which could lead to higher incidences of age-related diseases.
- In the field of plant biology, Zhao's studies have identified key mechanisms in fruit ripening regulated by transcription factors, particularly the role of the tomato NAC transcription factor SlNAP1 and the effects of abscisic acid on adventitious rooting in cucumbers, emphasizing the hormonal and genetic interactions involved.
- Additionally, Zhao's work addresses environmental concerns, using piezoelectric materials to enhance photocatalytic processes for antibiotic degradation and investigating microbial biotransformation pathways in granular sludge systems, underscoring the importance of sustainable solutions for wastewater treatment.
