  2024.05.28: The SapBase paper (SapBase: A central portal for functional and comparative genomics of Sapindaceae species) has been published in Journal of Integrative Plant Biology (JIPB, https://doi.org/10.1111/jipb.13680).
  2024.03.22: The molecular interactions between litchi AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR 5 (LcARF5)–LcIDL1/LcHSL2 and LcEIL3–LcIDL1 signaling modules play a role in regulating fruitlet abscission in litchi and provide a long-sought mechanistic explanation for how the interplay between auxin and ethylene is translated into the molecular events that initiate abscission.
  2023.11.15: By analyzing the PHAS gene triggered by microRNA482 / 2118 ( miR482 / 2118 ) in litchi, research group of South China Agricultural University found a species-specific regulatory pathway-Litchi miR482 / 2118 regulates the expression of GID1 by targeting the non-coding PHAS gene to produce phasiRNA to participate in gibberellin signal transduction.
