Exogenous Melatonin Reinforces Photosynthesis, Antioxidant Defense and Gene Expression to Ameliorate Na₂CO₃ Stress in Maize

Plants
Salt stress can seriously affect the growth and development of maize (Zea mays L.), resulting in a great yield loss. Melatonin (MT), an indole hormone, is a potential enhancer of plant tolerance against salt stress.

Tailoring the Properties of Functional Materials With N‐Oxides

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The properties of materials bearing N‐oxide groups are often dominated by the polar N+─O− bond. It provides hydrophilicity, selective ion‐binding, electric conductivity, or antifouling properties. Many of the underlying mechanisms have only recently been discovered, and the interest in N‐oxide materials is rapidly growing.
