Our Center’s Deputy Director Prof. Ting Fung Chan has teamed up with Prof. Hon Ming Lam, our Center’s Director and Prof. Sai Ming Ngai, our Center member in a recent research project.
With joint efforts, the team revealed that some non-coding RNA can produce very short proteins (small peptides), which play an important role in regulating organismal development and stress resistances. The findings challenged the very definition of non-coding RNAs and may open a new research path for future drug and crop improvement.
The research finding has been published in “Analysis of Soybean Long Non-coding RNAs Reveals a Subset of Small Peptide-Coding Transcripts” in the renowned scientific journal Plant Physiology.
