Comprehensive analysis of VOZ proteins in sweet potato and related species reveals their evolutionary dynamics and responses to abiotic stresses
Friday, 22-05-2026 | 08:50
VOZ (Vascular Plant One-Zinc Finger) transcription factors represent a plant-specific family of regulatory proteins that are pivotal in controlling plant growth, developmental processes, and adaptive responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Although VOZ genes have been reported in multiple plant species, their genomic organization, evolutionary history, and functional dynamics in sweet potato remain largely unexplored

HKUST Scientists Develop DNA-Guided CRISPR Tool for Virus Detection
Researchers from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed the world's first DNA-guided CRISPR-Cas system capable of targeting and cutting RNA. The study introduces a new diagnostic platform called SLEUTH (Specific Locus Evaluation Utilizing Targeted Hydrolysis), which uses synthetic DNA guides instead of the traditional RNA guides used in CRISPR systems.
