Dryland restoration needs shared evidence | Science
On 15 August 2026, China’s Ecological and Environmental Code entered into force, consolidating more than 30 environmental laws into a unified framework of more than 1240 articles (1). At the time of this publication, the 17th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD COP17) is ongoing in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia (2). This rare convergence offers an opportunity to extend China’s ecological governance beyond national borders through evidence-based dryland restoration cooperation.

Experiences and economic decision-making | Science
It is often said that we are nothing but the sum of our experiences. The accumulation of past experiences matters for economic behavior in any given moment: They can shape the objectives and goals we set, the perceived constraints around choices to be made, and they help form our attitudes and views of the world around us. A fast-growing literature in economics studies such experience effects, drawing together work in sociology, social psychology, and neuroscience, to understand how past experiences sink into memory, are recalled when making decisions, and compete with other relevant sources of information we might have, to shape consequential behaviors throughout life.
Genomes of Poaceae relatives reveal key metabolic innovations preceding the evolution of grasses | Science
The grass family (Poaceae) has immense economic and ecological importance and exhibits distinctive metabolic traits, including dual starch and lignin biosynthetic pathways. We sequenced the genomes of Pharus, Joinvillea, Ecdeiocolea, and Typha species to ...
TGW1a locus simultaneously shortens growth duration and boosts grain yield in rice | Science
Reconciling the trade-off between short growth duration and high grain yield is essential for enhancing annual rice yields. We found that qTGW1a, encoding a flowering locus T-like protein, controls heading and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) underpinning ...
Tracing the origins of de novo coronary collateral formation in cardiac repair | Science
Coronary collateral arteries have been proposed to form de novo through artery reassembly, a process in which arterial endothelial cells (ECs) migrate away from preexisting arteries and reassemble into new arteries. Using genetic tools that trace ...
