In a study published in Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) and Kunming Institute of Botany (KIB) revealed the important role of INDUCER OF CBF EXPRESSION 1 (ICE1) as a transcriptional activator in Arabidopsis thaliana pollen development, especially how it improved the germination rate and vitality of pollen by positively regulating the expression of QQS. They also elucidated the mechanism of promoting QQS transcription in the key developmental process.

In a study published in Frontiers in Plant Science, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) investigated the impact of clonal fragmentation (i.e. the extents of physiological integration) and its dependence on the development ages of a clonal epiphyte in an artificial forest. Specifically, they studied the effects of clonal fragmentation caused by human or natural disturbances on the survival status, biomass, maximum quantum yield of photosystem II (Fv/Fm), and leaf traits of the epiphytic fern Pyrrosia nuda in tropical rubber plantations.

In a study published in Fungal Diversity, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) and their collaborators explored the contribution of the four processes to co-occurring trees and fungal communities in three about 20-hectare forest ecosystems in Yunnan Province, China.

During field work from Menghai county to Lancang county in Yunnnan province, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) collected an unknown fruiting Lauraceae taxon. After careful morphological studies and phylogenetic analyses, the researchers confirmed that the material belonged to the genus Beilschmiedia and represented a species new to science. They named it Beilschmiedia mengwangensis to refer to its type locality Mengwang of Xishuangbanna.The new species was published in Systematic Botany.

In a study published in Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) implemented a soil warming experiment to evaluate the impact of warming on Rs in different ecosystems and the sensitivity of Rs to soil temperature (ST) and soil moisture content (SM) in diverse ecosystems. They employed a multichannel automated chamber system in both a subalpine coniferous forest in Lijiang (LJ) and a subtropical evergreen broadleaf forest in Ailao Mountain (ALS), situated in Yunnan Province, Southwest China.

In a study published in Nature Ecology and Evolution, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have provided strong support for this central prediction by examining phytochemical diversity and herbivory in 60 tree communities ranging from species-rich tropical rainforests to species-poor subalpine forests

In a study published in Ecological Indicators, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) and their collaborators explored the key challenges in implementing an effective carbon neutrality plan under global climate change and focuses on the balance of supply and demand for carbon sequestration services (CSS). They developed a spatiotemporal assessment framework based on the Service Path Attribute Networks (SPANs) model to quantify the CSS supply-demand balance under land use changes.

In a study published in Journal of Plant Ecology, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden(XTBG) discussed how the alpine plant Rorippa elata adjusted its phenotypic traits to adapt to environmental changes at different altitudes.

In a study published in Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) and their collaborators presented a new method combining the Farquhar photosynthesis model and random forest (RF) algorithm to investigate the diurnal variation of stomatal responses in leaves of six tropical tree species in southern China

In a study published in Journal of Environmental Management, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) assessed the transformation effectiveness of the green economy from a framework of synergistic coordination of ecology, air, and economy, and analyzed industrial patterns and landscape characteristics in response to these processes.

In a study published in Microbiological Research, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) explored the interactions between plants and rhizosphere microorganisms, with a focus on revealing this communication by understanding the functional gene composition of rhizosphere microorganisms.

In a study published in iScience, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) investigated the effects of reproductive activities on longevity for two sexes, by conducting experiments using the jumping spider Toxeus magnus (Araneae: Salticidae).
