• To Fight or to Grow: The Balancing Role of Ethylene in Plant Abiotic Stress Responses

  Plants · 2021 · 203 citations

  1st authorCorresponding

  Plants often live in adverse environmental conditions and are exposed to various stresses, such as heat, cold, heavy metals, salt, radiation, poor lighting, nutrient deficiency, drought, or flooding. To adapt to unfavorable environments, plants have evolved specialized molecular mechanisms that serve to balance the trade-off between abiotic stress responses and growth. These mechanisms enable plants to continue to develop and reproduce even under adverse conditions. Ethylene, as a key growth reg…

• MYB Transcription Factor161 Mediates Feedback Regulation of <i>Secondary wall-associated NAC-Domain1</i> Family Genes for Wood Formation

  PLANT PHYSIOLOGY · 2020 · 90 citations

  exhibited phenotypes similar to the wild type, suggesting that PtrMYB161's activator functions are redundant among many TFs. Our work demonstrated that PtrMYB161 binds to multiple sets of target genes, a feature that allows it to function as an activator as well as a repressor. The balance of the two functions may be important to the establishment of regulatory homeostasis for normal growth and development.

• A Self-Learning Multimodal Approach for Fake News Detection

  arXiv (Cornell University) · 2024-12-08 · 2 citations

  preprintOpen access1st authorCorresponding

  The rapid growth of social media has resulted in an explosion of online news content, leading to a significant increase in the spread of misleading or false information. While machine learning techniques have been widely applied to detect fake news, the scarcity of labeled datasets remains a critical challenge. Misinformation frequently appears as paired text and images, where a news article or headline is accompanied by a related visuals. In this paper, we introduce a self-learning multimodal m…
