Nanographene oxide (NGO) exhibits immunomodulatory activity and holds promise as a therapeutic agent for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In a xenogeneic GVHD mouse model, NGO administration improves survival and attenuates pathology with reduced weight loss and leukocyte engraftment, without sustained systemic tox...

Plants monitor daylength to synchronize their flowering time with their surroundings and thus maximize reproductive fitness. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), CONSTANS (CO) activates the expression of FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT); this activation is a crucial aspect of the daylength-dependent regulation of flowering ...

Professor Youngryel Ryu group from Department of Landscape Architecture and Rural Systems Engineering at SNU has mapped carbon stock and growth of individual street trees using LiDAR-camera fusion-basd mobile mapping system and published this work in Remote Sensing of Environment. Urban areas remain one of the ...

Development of web-based decision support tool for rainfall erosivity estimation using both high-resolution rainfall data and simplified models Professor Moon-Seong Kang’s research team from SNU CALS has developed a Web-based Rainfall Erosivity Calculation (WREC) decision support tool, which enables rapid and ...

o This study investigates the genetic mechanisms by which the probiotic Bacillus subtilis regulates nitric oxide (NO) metabolism and its effects on host aging and neurodegeneration.o A microbial genome-wide association study (mGWAS) was conducted using 1,654 gene deletion mutants of B. subtilis to identify strains t...

o Methane produced in the rumen—the main digestive organ of ruminants—is recognized as a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions from global livestock industries. While chemical additives and antibiotic-based inhibitors have been previously investigated, their limited sustainability and adverse eff...

Prof. Tae-Jin Yang’s team at Seoul National University assembled a high-quality genome of Glycyrrhiza uralensis and revealed the hybrid origin and evolutionary history of licorice species through genome-wide analysis of 29 individuals. The study identified three hybrid groups bridging G. uralensis and G. glabr...

The SNU CALS research team, led by Prof. Younghoon Kim, has demonstrated that probiotic-derived extracellular vesicles effectively alleviate atopic dermatitis by modulating the gut microbiota. These groundbreaking findings offer novel insights into the underlying mechanisms and pave the way for the development of ne...

Quantum yield for sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (ΦF) captures rice plant dynamics under interplant competition SNU CALS team led by Prof. Hyungsuk Kimm has demonstrated the capability of chlorophyll fluorescence signal to detect crop physiological cha...

Compositional Optimization for Miticidal Activity, Ecotoxicity, and Phytotoxicity of Rosmarinus officinalis Essential Oils as Biorational Pesticides The SNU CALS team, led by Prof. Jun-Hyung Tak, has presented a framework to optimize the composition of natural product-based pesticides, maximizing pesticidal ac...
