Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of SciencesAnnual Reportresearchers... In the past year, there were a lot ofchanges and affairs worthy review."Pay attention to home, national and globalaffairs while taking the sound of wind, rain andreading to heart" was written by GU Xian-Cheng,Leader of Donglin Academy in Ming Dynasty.This antithetical couplet, renowned for hundreds ofyears, was hanging in Donglin Academy in Wuxi. Ittells us that a scholar shall not only concentrate onresearches, but also be concerned with what happensin our life and in the world. It holds true for us. Asresearchers, we shall focus on research, and also payattention to changes in the world to keep the directionof development and especially make contributions tothe flourishing of China. 2011 was the beginning ofthe national "12th five-year" plan and the "Innovation2020" plan of KIB, and in 2012 we comprehensivelycarried out these plans. During the past year,according to "135" goals of the Institute and the "12thfive-year" plan, we adjusted the structure of researchgroups. In terms of discipline construction, talentteams, infrastructure building and other business, wemade great achievements. You can find key data inthe english website of KIB. With efforts for the pastyear, we have taken a solid step towards the generaltarget of "Innovation 2020" and the construction ofa "regionally typical and internationally influentialinstitute with great contributions".The ringing bell knocks on the door of the newyear. No matter how changeable or bustling, nomatter how wandering or pleasant after adaptationand achievements, 2012 is fading away. Whenthe sun rises above the horizon next time, 2013 iscoming with all unknowns and hopes. We will movetowards a key year of realizing the "Innovation2020" plan, and welcome the 75th anniversary ofKIB. Generations of botany workers have spentmore than 27000 days in Yuanbao Hill by HeilongLake, witnessing and creating sinicization of thewestern botany and the development of Chinesebotany. As the 18th National Congress proposed thegeneral requirement of "5-1 development" coveringeconomic construction, political construction, culturalconstruction, social construction and ecologicalprogress, the business of KIB becomes an integralpart of the great rejuvenation of Chinese nation."Set sail and forge ahead under motionless waves;march forward valiantly when shouldering heavyresponsibilities". In the wave of national rejuvenation,we shall brace our heart, lay solid foundation, lookforward in hope and implement the new round ofreforms. Despite fierce competition, KIB, which hasexperienced trials and hardships for more than 70years, will set off on a new journey.LI De-Zhu, Director of KIB2013, Spring—— MESSAGE FROM DIRECTOR ——

Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of SciencesAnnual ReportiFlora: Opportunities and Challenges for BotanistsFlora is the most essential record forconservation and sustainable use of plant resources,which is necessary prerequisite and guarantee forthe accurate identification of the species, and whichprovide important information and scientific basis forthe rational use of plant resources in the service ofnational economic and social development. However,the species identification based on traditionalmorphological characteristics of a certain extent,has been unable to meet the demand of the people torecognize species. Quickly and accurately identifyplant species and thus its scientific evaluation,excavation and protection has become a globalproblem and new challenges for botanists.The 21st century has witnessed a rapiddevelopment in technologies of molecular biologyand computer informatics. Fundamental changeshave taken place in means and methods in whichhumans take cognition of the world. Based on thecurrently available eFlora and combining this withelements of next-generation sequencing techniques,DNA sequence data, geographical informationsystem data and computer information technology,KIB first proposed the concept of a next-generationFlora: iFlora. Through a series of key technologicalinnovations and integrations, the main objective ofiFlora is to construct the nex-generation Flora, whichwill fulfill the function of accurately and rapidlyidentifying species and acquiring species-relateddigital information. iFlora will greatly advance thedevelopment of plant taxonomy, phylogenetics,evolutionary biology, ecology, biogeography,conservation biology and other related disciplines.Furthermore, iFlora will be a valuable tool forbiodiversity conservation and sustainable utilizationof biological resources, ecological security, publiceducation and services, and will profoundly promotepublic understanding of biodiversity. The applicationof iFlora will tremendously nurture and boost thetaxasphere and bioliterate world, and will be a newfocal point that may reshape modern botany atthe global and regional levels (Plant Diversity &Resources, 2012, 34: 525-531).iFlora intelligent device. 1, specimen library; 2,molecular library; 3, DNA library; 4, genetic informationaccess system; 5, digital information of species library; 6,data information analysis and cloud service; 7, speciesinformation display; 8, image information acquisition; 9,data input and ouput; 10, functional key. —— HIGHLIGHTS OF ACHIEVEMENTS ——

Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of SciencesAnnual ReportResearches on Wild Edible Mushroomsand Toadstool ResourcesWild edible mushrooms are often regarded as"delicacies", since they contain abundant proteins,diversified vitamins and eight kinds of amino acidnecessary for human body. Collection, sale, processand purchase of wild edible mushroom productshave been an industrial chain, which plays animportant role in economic development in remoteand undeveloped regions in providing employmentopportunities. China has a large number of wild ediblemushroom resources and also a variety of commonpoisonous mushrooms. Poisoning or death causedby accidentally swallowing poisonous mushrooms iscommon and mushroom poisoning has been one ofkey food poisoning factors causing death.YANG Zhu-Liang, from KIB, led his researchteam to conduct researches on wild edible mushroomsand poisonous mushrooms. They found that Chinais the modern species diversity center in connectionwith bolete, and morchella. They discovered twonew genena and several new species, includingedible mushrooms and poisonous fungi such as "thelittle white mushroom" (Trogia venenata) causinghundreds of death. Based on these research results,they prepared and distributed leaflets and brochures,and also gave lectures to introduce hazards ofpoisonous mushrooms and how to differentiateedible mushrooms from poisonous mushrooms inschools, hospitals and related institutions, whichmade positive effects on preventing poisoningof poisonous mushrooms. This research of bothscientific significance and practical applicationvalues for accurately identifying and exploring wildedible mushrooms in China, further developing andutilizing wild edible mushroom resources, as wellas effectively preventing poisoning of poisonousmushrooms.An important edible bolet species (Boletus reticuloceps)occruing in alpine and subalpine areas of northwesternYunnan.Divergence time estimation and ancestral areareconstruction of porcini s.s. using the ITS data.

Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of SciencesAnnual ReportThe Mushroom Toxins Asa: The Cause of SuddenUnexpected Death in Yunnan ProvinceOver the past 30 years, more than 260apparently healthy villagers in Yunnan Province,southwest China, have died suddenly of an unknowncause. Yunnan Sudden Unexplained Death (SUD)often strikes in time-space clusters during the rainyseason, from June to August, in villages between1800 and 2600 m above sea level. The state andlocal governments attached great importance tothis situation and organized experts in diverse areasto discover the risk factor. However, it was toocomplicated to discover the truth.Through long-term intensive studies, undertakenby Prof. LIU Ji-Kai's group in KIB and professorZENG Guang's group in the Chinese Center forDisease Control and Prevention, the mushroom,Trogia venenata was implicated as a risk factor.Two new non-protein amino acids were isolatedand characterized from the fruiting bodies of thismushroom by oral toxicity tests in mice. The structureand absolute configuration of one amino acid wereconfirmed by a total synthesis. One amino acid waspresent in the LC-MS/MS of the blood sample froma victim. This finding served as direct evidence thatthe man had eaten the mushroom before he died.The mechanism of the toxins remains a riddle. It issuggested that the toxins affect cardiac muscle andmetabolism. Mice that were treated with the toxinsincrease in serum CK levels relative to control micethat received water. An extract of T. venenata causedprofound hypoglycemia in mice within 2 h of oralexposure.According to the research results, a campaign towarn Yunnan villagers against eating the mushroomhas reduced reports of SUD in the affected area ofYunnan to zero in 2010 and 2011. This study havebeen reported in Angewandte Chemie InternationalEdition (2012, 51(10): 2368-2370).Trogia venenata —— HIGHLIGHTS OF ACHIEVEMENTS ——

Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of SciencesAnnual ReportResearches on Chemical and Bioactivity of Isodon in ChinaPlants of the genus Isodon (Lamiaceae) widelyused as Chinese medicines. From 1975, SUN Han-Dong's group in KIB has conducted systematicalresearched on the chemical and bioactivitycomponents of 67 types of isodon plants in China,separated and identified 965 new diterpenoids,and discovered more than 20 compounds withdevelopment potentials. It is noticeable that thisgroup has made breakthrough in respect of the newditerpenoids and bioactivity research of this isodon:They isolated Iodon eriocalyx var. laxiflora and foundneolaxiflorins A and B with the new skeleton; theyalso discovered class I new diterpene (ternifonane)containing rare 10-membered lactonic ring in iodonternifolius. In respect of bioactivity research, theyestablished cooperation with Prof. ZHENG Yong-Qi from Yale University and Prof. CHEN Zhu andProf. CHEN Sai-Juan from Hematology Institute ofShanghai Ruijin Hospital, and found that oidoninand eriocalyxin suppress tumor growth mainlythrough suppression of NF-κB signal pathway; itshowed specific selectivity for leukemia (AML-M2b), which made it a new drug candidate withthe possibility of treating leukemia such as AML-M2b. They also cooperated with Prof. CHEN Guo-Qiang from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and foundthat adenanthin can directly target peroxiredoxin(prx.) I/II to induce cell differentiation of acutepromyelocytic leukemia, which explained the newmechanism of cell differentiation of leukemia. Thisresearch result was published in Nature Chem. Biol.(2012, 8, 486-493. IF=15.808). Above pharmacologyresearches laid a solid pharmocological foundationfor the development and application potentials ofIsodon plants and ent-kaurene compounds in antiinflammationand anti-tumor.So far, SUN Han-Dong Research Team haspublished more than 290 papers about researcheson Isodon (including 202 SCI papers and 88 papersbelonging to top 15% academic papers in thisfield). Isodon plants which they researched and newcompounds they found accounted for more than 70%of research objects in this field in the world. Theynot only enrich the terpenes, but also demonstratethat China, taking a lead in this field, has achievedoutstanding attainments in the global phytochemistry.HHHOHAdenanthinHOH 2 COONeolaxiflorin A AOH—— HIGHLIGHTS OF ACHIEVEMENTS ——

Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of SciencesAnnual ReportResearches on Phylogeny and EvolutionaryHistory of BambusoideaeGene map of the six woody bamboo chloroplast genomesBambusoideae belongs to the grass family andcovers more than 1000 species in the world. As itsmodern diversity center, China has moso bamboowith the highest economic value, and also Fargesia/Bashania fangiana which pandas depend on.Therefore, bamboo is economically and ecologicallyimportant. Bambusoideae is characterized bydiversified morphologies, and its flowering cyclenormally covers dozens of years or even nearly 100years, which is very difficult for taxonomical study.The research team led by Prof. LI De-Zhu fromKIB has been committed to molecular systematicsstudy of bambusoideae for a long time. With avariety of methods, this research team applies geneticinformation in chloroplast DNA and nuclear DNA tostudy the phylogenetic relationships of this specialgroup, including sequencing of chloroplast genome ofBambusoideae with the next-generation sequencingtechnique. After accumulated researches for years,they have gradually revealed the evolutionary historyof Bambusoideae. Arundinarieae (Bambusoideae)started mass differentiation from the late MioceneEpoch, resulting in the diversity of species nowadays.So far, they have published more than 10 papers aboutthese research results in Molec. Phylogenet. Evol.(2012, 63: 777-797), PLoS ONE (2012, 7: e30297),Taxon and other famous journals. —— HIGHLIGHTS OF ACHIEVEMENTS ——

Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of SciencesAnnual ReportBotanists Uncover the Mystery of Coloured NectarFloral nectar is offered by plants to animalsas reward for pollination, the co-evolution betweenvisual signals produced by plants and the animalmutualsists is one of the most intriguing subjects inthe evolutional biological sciences. In nature, whilenecar generally is a clear liquid containing sugar andtrace amounts of amino acids, a few plant speciesproduce intriguing coloured nectar. While this rarefloral trait-coloured nectar has been recorded byGreek poet Homer since 1785, it has been somewhatunder-researched by modern science. So far, 68plant species with coloured nectar were known inthe world, most of species occur in tropical andsubtropical regions of the Southern Hemisphere.Leucosceptrum canum stands out as unique plantwith coloured nectar recorded in the Himalayas andadjacent southwestern China, but neither the chemicalorigin nor the functional significance of the nectar’scolour have been characterized.Drs.ZHANG Feng-Ping, CAI Xiang-Hai,Profs. WANG Hong and LI De-Zhu focused on thechemical compound associated with the dark purplenectar of L. canum, as well as its dynamics during theflowering season and its relationship to pollinators.The study found that this plant is self-compatible butdependent on pollinators to increase reproductiveoutput, two short-billed birds (blue-winged minlaand oriental white-eye) were found to pollinate thisplant. A purple anthocyanidin, 5-hydroxyflavyliumwas identified, as a natural nectar product for thefirst time, and it was found to be the cause of thenectar colouration. Further, this plant employs twonectar-based mechanisms to direct bird pollinatorsto reproductively active flowers, controlling nectarpalatability and presenting a foraging signal forbirds by altering nectar volume and colour in adevelopmental stage-specific manner.The mechanistic and functional analysis ofdark nectar is of very high scientific interest, thisinnovative study makes a substantial advance to ourunderstanding in the functional ecology of nectarcoloration, and open other research avenues forstudying the evolutionary significance of nectarcoloration as a visual signal to effective pollinators.The paper published on New Phytologist(2012, 193: 188-195), titled "Dark purple nectar as aforaging signal in a bird-pollinated Himalayan plant".Leucosceptrum canum flowers and pollinator.

Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of SciencesAnnual ReportN-3-oxo-decanoyl-L-homoserine-lactone Activates Auxin-inducedAdventitious Root Formation via H 2 O 2 - and Nitricoxide-dependent Cyclic GMP Signalling in Mung BeanN-acyl homoserine-lactones (AHLs) are bacterialquorum-sensing signaling molecules that regulatepopulation density. Recent evidences demonstrate theirroles in plant defense responses and root development.H 2 O 2 , nitric oxide (NO) and cyclic GMP (cGMP) areessential messengers that participate in various plantphysiological processes, but how these messengersmodulate the plant response to AHL signals remainspoorly understood.Researchers at KIB show that the N-3-oxodecanoyl-homoserine-lactone(3-O-C10-HL), in contrastto its analogue with an unsubstituted branch chain atthe C3 position, efficiently stimulated the formation ofadventitious roots and the expression of auxin-responsegenes in explants of mung bean seedlings. This responsewas mimicked by the exogenous application of auxin,H 2 O 2 , NO or cGMP homologues, but suppressed bytreatment with scavengers or inhibitors of H 2 O 2 , NOor cGMP metabolism. The 3-O-C10-HL treatmentenhanced auxin basipetal transport; this effect couldbe reversed by treatment with H 2 O 2 or NO scavengersbut not by inhibitors of cGMP synthesis. Inhibiting3-O-C10-HL-induced H 2 O 2 or NO accumulationimpaired auxin- or 3-O-C10-HL-induced cGMPsynthesis, however, blocking cGMP synthesis did notaffect auxin- or 3-O-C10-HL-induced H 2 O 2 or NOgeneration. Additionally, cGMP partially rescued theinhibitory effect of H 2 O 2 or NO scavengers on 3-O-C10-HL-induced adventitious root development and auxinresponsegene expression. These results suggest that3-O-C10-HL, unlike its analogue with unmodifiedbranch chain at the C3 position; can accelerate auxindependentadventitious root formation possibly viaH 2 O 2 - and NO- dependent cGMP signaling in mungbean seedlings.The study has been supported by the Hundredsof Talents Program of CAS and the National NaturalScience Foundation of China, and has been published inPlant Physiology (2012, 158:725-736).The effects of different inhibitors or scavengersand donors on 3-O-C10-HL-induced accumulationof H 2 O 2 and NO in mung bean explants. —— HIGHLIGHTS OF ACHIEVEMENTS ——

Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of SciencesAnnual ReportAM Fungi Suppress Haustorium Initiationin a Root Hemiparasitic PlantAs two ubiquitous and important components interrestrial ecosystems, parasitic plants and arbuscularmycorrhizal (AM) fungi have been extensivelystudied in the past, but in most cases separately.Recent findings suggest that plant parasitism andAM associations have some interesting parallels andmay be modulated by similar mechanisms. Despitethe small but increasing number of efforts to test theinfluence of host AM status on growth performanceof parasitic plants, no investigations have tested thedirect interactions between parasitic plants and AMfungi, partially due to the fact that most parasiticplants do NOT form mycorrhizal associations.Using a facultative root hemiparasite(Pedicularis tricolor Hand.-Mazz.) with a potentialto form AM associations, researchers from KIB (Dr.LI Ai-Rong) and University of Adelaide show thatinoculation with some AM fungi strongly suppressesthe initiation of haustoria, the parasite-specificstructures exclusively responsible for host attachmentand nutrient transfer from a host to a parasitic plant.The significant role of AM fungi in haustoriuminitiation of parasitic plants is demonstrated for thefirst time.The research was supported by the NaturalScience Foundation of China (grant No. 30970288),the Natural Science Foundation of Yunnan Province(grant No. 2009CD114) and the Overseas TrainingProgram of CAS for LI Ai-Rong.

Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of SciencesAnnual ReportMekong Hydropower: Drivers of Changeand Governance ChallengesThe Mekong River is the longest watercoursein Southeast Asia. Although China has an extensivehydropower program underway on the UpperMekong, as yet there are no dams on the river’s lowermainstream. However, as many as 12 additionalprojects, which would generate substantial energyand wealth especially for Cambodia and Laos, arecurrently in the proposal stage for the Lower Mekong(LM).The March 2012 cover story in Frontiersin Ecology and the Environment (impact factor8.82) featured work on Mekong River hydropowerdevelopment co-authored by Drs. R EdwardGrumbine and XU Jian-Chu from KIB, colleagues atthe Centre for Mountain Ecosystem Studies, KIB. XUJian-Chu is Director of the Centre where Grumbineis working on a two year visiting Professorship forsenior international scientists through CAS. Thepaper, "Mekong Hydropower: Drivers of Changeand Governance Challenges", published in Frontiersin Ecology and the Enviroment (2012, 10: 91-98),describes dam building plans for the Lower MekongBasin south of China. If completed, hydropowerprojects in Laos and Cambodia would dramaticallyalter river ecology and impact millions of local peoplewho depend on the Mekong for their livelihoods,even as the two countries would gain benefitsfrom overall GDP growth and development. Theseecological, livelihood, and economic issues are mademore complex by a host of governance challengesin the region. These include lack of knowledge andinstitutional capacity to carry out integrated problemsolving as well as poor understanding of deliberativegovernance that includes local participation indecision making. Lower Mekong hydropowerprojects have yet to be decided upon. Grumbineand XU offer several examples of how to improveintegrated water resource management to reducerisks, increase resilience, and strengthen collaborationin a challenging transboundary setting. Their workoffers a good example of linking ecological andsocial analysis together to solve complex real worldproblems.Research funding for REG has been generouslyprovided by the CAS Visiting Professorship forsenior international scientists (grant No.2010T1S2).JD acknowledges the support of Australian NationalUniversity's Fenner School of Environment andSociety.Map of hydropower projects in the Mekong Basin. —— HIGHLIGHTS OF ACHIEVEMENTS ——

Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of SciencesAnnual ReportClimate Change Affects Fruiting ofthe Prized Matsutake MushroomMatsutake mushrooms (Tricholoma matsutake)are highly prized, seasonal gourmet items for theJapanese market. Yunnan Province contributes nearly1/3 of the total matsutake production sold in Japanwith an annual benefit of more than 40 million USdollars. In the communities harvesting matsutake inYunnan, household income generated from matsutakecan be up to 80%. However, there is an observedtrend of declining productivity in certain areas; thedriving causes are unclear, but mainly perceived bythe public as over harvesting, and climate fluctuation.In order to test how much climate changeinfluences matsutake mushroom, we established a onehectare observation plot in Baoshan City in westernYunnan where the human impact on harvesting wascontrolled. Monitoring activity started from 2000with joint efforts from a local villager.Data collected during 2000-2010 suggestedthat matsutake fruiting occurred later in the season.Analyzing this changing fruiting pattern againstmeteorological variables using Projection to LatentStructure regression, it was found that this observedlater fruiting is most likely explained by risingtemperature and reduced rain during May and June.High temperature and abundant rain in Augustresulted in good productivity. This results contributeto a general model of fungal ecology, which canbe used to predict the responses of fungi to globalclimate change. It also has wide implications forresource management. Results have been published inFungal Diversity (2012, 56(1): 189-198).This study was sponsored jointly by theNational Natural Science Foundation of China(Grant No. 30800158), the 11th Five-Year ChinaKey Science & Technology Project on Silviculturefor Carbon Sequestration in Subtropics (Grant No:2008BAD95B09) and the Ford Foundation (GrantNo. 10850639).Tricholoma matsutake—— HIGHLIGHTS OF ACHIEVEMENTS ——

Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of SciencesAnnual ReportNew Progress of Fertilizer Application and Nitrogen Cycle Studyfor the Mountain Agroecological SystemFertilizer application in the agroecologicalsystem plays an important role in improving corpyield and maintaining provisionment. However,excessive fertilizer application also leads to waterpollution and other environment problems. It alsobecomes an important origin of greenhouse gasemission. Improving the efficiency of fertilizerapplication food security, reduces environmentalpollution caused by excessive fertilizer application,and alleviates greenhouse gases and climate changes.Field experiments show that the improved nutrientmanagement method can reduce the application offertilizer. However, it is unclear about measures bywhich the efficiency of fertilizer application may bedramatically raised.According to features of different agroecologicalareas in the mountainous region of Yunnan (seepictures), in Researchers from XU Jian-Chu ResearchTeam of KIB selected and investigated 1199 peasanthouseholds from 51 villages from 2008 to 2009.Through questionnaires on fertilizer application bypeasants, the research team systematically compareddifferent fertilizer application in terms of corptypes, peasant households and areas, and analyzedfertilizer application factors and relationshipsbetween nutrient balance and fertilizer application.Based on this, they discussed related policies andpointed out that diversified fertilizer application isthe largest challenge for Yunnan and even for Chinato formulate fertilizer policies. They also highlightedthe importance of formulating fertilizer managementpolicies upon different conditions and implementingthe service-oriented agricultural skills promotionsystem for realizing the sustainable agriculturaldevelopment.

Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of SciencesAnnual ReportResearch of floral polymorphism in heterostylousLuculia pinceana (Rubiaceae)Both deterministic and stochastic forcesdetermine the representation and frequency offloral morphs in heterostylous plant populations.Phylogeographic analysis of molecular variation canprovide information on the role of historical factors,including founder events, in affecting populationmorph structure. KIB investigate geographicalpatterns of floral morph variation in a distylousshrub Luculia pinceana (Rubiaceae) by examiningthe relations between floral polymorphism andmolecular (cpDNA and microsatellite) variation in25 populations sampled throughout the distributionof the species in southwest China and adjacentcountries. In 19 of the 25 populations the frequencyof floral morphs was not significantly different fromthe expected 1:1 ratio. The remaining populationswere either L-morph biased or monomorphic for thisform and were morphologically differentiated fromthe remaining populations in several floral traits.Phylogeographic analysis supports the hypothesisthat L. pinceana was initially split into west-centraland eastern lineages in the Early Pleistocene (~1.982Mya). A centrally located lineage composed ofmorph-biased and monomorphic populations appearsto have been subsequently derived from the westcentrallineage, perhaps by a founder event afterthe last glacial maximum. Differences in the selfcompatibilitystatus of floral morphs and the pattern ofinheritance for distyly provide a plausible explanationfor the origin of stylar monomorphism in this species.This research was published in Molecular Ecology(2012. 21: 4631-4645).Geographical patterns of floral morph frequenciesand molecular variation in 25 populations of distylousLuculia pinceana sampled from southwestern China andneighboring countries.Neighbor-joining tree illustrating the geneticrelationships among 25 populations of Luculia pinceana,based on unbiased genetic distance (D) calculated fromSSR data.—— HIGHLIGHTS OF ACHIEVEMENTS ——

Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of SciencesAnnual ReportA Series of Platinum Complexes Exhibit SelectiveCytotoxicity towards Cancer CellsPlatinum-based drugs have become fundamentalcomponents of standard chemotherapy regiments,and are widely used in antitumor therapy of testicularand ovarian tumors, lung and colorectal carcinomas.Despite the therapeutic benefit, the efficacy ofplatinum-based treatment regiments is considerablycompromised not only by severe side-effects but alsoby insurmountable cross-resistance.With coorperation between Prof. LIU Wei-Ping'sgroup in Kunming Institute of Precious Metals, andProf. LI Yan's group in KIB, a series of platinum (II)complexes were designed and synthesized featuringa dichloroactetate moiety tethered to the leavinggroup via ester bond, Among of which, mixed-NH3/cyclopentamine platinum(II) complexes of3-dichoroacetoxylcyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylateexhibit selective cytotoxicity towards cancer cellsthrough inducing the apoptosis of cancer cells,whereas leaving the normal cells much less affected.Also, the complexes are able to overcome theresistance of cancer cells to cisplatin, which show apromising value for further exploration.

Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of SciencesAnnual ReportHorizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) might have HelpedPlants to Colonized the LandThe conquest of land by plants is one of themost important events in life history on earth.Accompanied by the water-to-land transition,the early land plants evolved series of physicaland physiological innovations to adapt to hostileterrestrial environments such as intense UV radiation,gravity, flooding and desiccation cycles and varyingtemperatures. A recent study revealed that foreigngenes horizontally transferred from other kingdomsof life might have facilitated plants to colonize theland.Conducted by groups of Prof. SUN Hang,Prof. YANG Yong-Ping, Prof. HU Xiang-Yang fromKIB, and group of Prof. HUANG Jin-Ling fromEast Carolina University of USA, and financiallysupported by the CAS/SAFEA InternationalPartnership Program for Creative Research Teamsand a US NSF grant, this study thoroughly analyzedthe genome of Physcomitrella patens, a mossrepresenting a basal lineage of land plants, and foundthat 128 nuclear genes from 57 families of mossgenome were originated from fungi, bacteria, andviruses. Further gene annotation analyses revealedthat most of these acquired genes are involved insome essential or plant-specific activities such asxylem formation, plant defense, nitrogen recyclingas well as the biosynthesis of starch, polyamines,hormones and glutathione. Acquisition of thesegenes might have helped the transition of plants fromaquatic to terrestrial environments, and thus haveprofound influence in the land plants evolution.For the first time, this study revealed theexistence of large number of HGT genes in plantgenome, which challenged the conventional beliefthat HGT in multicellular eukaryotes is rare andinsignificant. Therefore, this study provides newinsights for people to reconsider the role of HGT inthe evolution of multicellular eukaryotes. The resultwas reported in Nature Communications ( 2012,3(1152: 1-9).A hypothetical scheme of HGT in mossesDiagram illustrating the dynamics of HGT in plants—— HIGHLIGHTS OF ACHIEVEMENTS ——

Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of SciencesAnnual Report1. They constructed cDNA library in thefloral organ of Asarum caudigerum of basal taxa ofangiosperms, analyzed the evolvement of MDASboxgene family significantly affecting blooming,and inferred that asarum started from the earlydifferentiation stage of angiosperms after systematicevolvement analysis.2. With the Macroarray analysis method, theyobtained differential expression genes from 621solitary genes. By analyzing the expression profile,they discovered that some B-class APETALA3(AP3)genes, differentiated from asarum floral organ, areup-regulated in carpel, stamen and perianth, andverified that it is in line with the expression profilethrough RT-PCR, RT-qPCR and hybridization insitu. They applied the phylogenetic tree to analyzeAcAP3-1 MADS-box genes, and found thatB-class APETALA3(AP3)-like genes and AeAP3-1differentiated from A. europaeum have high bootstrapvalues. According to researches, it is found thatB-class genes differentiated from asarum of basaltaxa of angiosperms have wider expression thangenes differentiated from eudicots have . Therefore,they inferred that classical ABC model is not maturedat the early evolvement stage of angiosperms. ABCmodel occurs in the basal taxa of angiosperms ina simple way, and develops into the classical ABCmodel in the higher-grade or high-grade eudicots.3. They first differentiated 3 MADS-box genesfrom floral organ of Castanea mollissima andconducted expression analysis. Meanwhile, theydiscovered the content of endogenous hormone in C.mollissima floral organ and during fruit developmentchanges dramatically.4. They researched the genetic polymorphism ofIncarvillea mairei with touch—sensitive stigma andscreened 13 pairs of polymorphic molecular markersamong which 12 pairs were successfully used forother species of the same genus and most of themshowed polymorphism, laying solid foundation forpolymorphism research.5. They published 8 papers, including 4 papersin journals covered by SCI. SCI impact factoraccumulates to 9.9. These 4 papers were cited 10times, including 6 times by SCI. Other 4 paperswere published in domestic core journals and cited16 times.

Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of SciencesAnnual ReportGlobalised Forest-products: Commodification of the MatsutakeMushroom in Tibetan Villages,Yunnan, Southwest ChinaAward: First Prize of the 15th Scientific Results Show of Philosophy and Social Sciences of YunnanProvinceMain Investigator: HE JunMain Participant Unit: KIBResearch results:Under the international and globalized tradingof forest products, how to ensure the resourcesustainability and social fairness has been a greatchallenge for managers and decision-makers.Researches on forest products are normallyconcerned with ecological protection or economicvalues, while there is little focus on social andcultural features during utilization and protection. Onthe other hand, when studying forest management,socialists lack attention to ecology and economydue to their discipline background. Therefore, tocarry out interdisciplinary researches is significantfor theoretical construction and methodologicalinnovation as well as policy guidance.This research centers on the export of animportant forest product—Tricholoma matsutakein Yunnan. As the fresh T. matsutake industry isconfronted with excessive development, unsmoothmarket channels, uneven distribution and seriousexport problems, the researcher applied theinterdisciplinary method to comprehensively explainproblems existing in T. matsutake managementand trading of Yunnan Province, and discussedhow commercialization affected the ecologicalsustainability and socially economic sustainabilityof T. matsutake management from the perspectivesof institutional economics, cultural anthropologyand ethnoecology. The researcher also analyzed theT. matsutake market in Yunnan China, and exploredhow interest groups in the market and marketmechanism impacted the income of participantsin T. matsutake trading. It is found that the marketpolicy of encouraging export restricts the positivedevelopment of the market to some extent, and alsolimited market competition and participation, whichcaused some power groups to be key participants. Inaddition, as economic activities in local areas weresignificantly influenced by local culture, historyand politics, the interaction between localizationand globalization posed threat to the equality of thedistribution mechanism of T. matsutake commoditychain. This paper shows the high level of academicinnovation, providing a new method, a new theoryand a new viewpoint for future researches. It alsogives important information and feasible opinionsfor managers and decision-makers in practice, whichmay create excellent social, economic and ecologicalbenefit.—— ACHIEVEMENTS AND AWARDS ——
