Development of a bioassay-guided genome mining approach for antifungal natural product discovery from pseudomonads

Scientific Reports
Zymoseptoria tritici causes Septoria Leaf Blotch disease of wheat and has evolved to overcome most chemical and genetic control methods. As such, new tools are required for future disease control.

Putrescine, spermidine, and spermine play distinct roles in rice salt tolerance

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2020
Polyamines (PAs) play diverse roles in plant growth and development, as well as responses to environmental stimuli. In this study, the effects of PAs on rice salt tolerance were investigated.

A novel gene REPTOR2 activates the autophagic degradation of wing disc in pea aphid

eLife, 2023
Wing dimorphism in insects is an evolutionarily adaptive trait to maximize insect fitness under various environments, by which the population could be balanced between dispersing and reproduction. Most studies concern the regulatory mechanisms underlying

Plant basal resistance: genetics, biochemistry, and impacts on plant-biotic interactions [PDF]

, 2012
Basal resistance depends largely on a diverse range of defence mechanisms that become active upon attack by pathogens or insects. These mechanisms range from rapid stomatal closure and production of reactive oxygen species, to callose deposition and ...

2D Skeletal Muscle Thin Film Actuators Enhance Efficiency of Biohybrid Robots

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
2D skeletal muscle thin film actuators generate millinewton‐scale forces and millimeter‐scale strokes while remaining functional for over 30 days. Their force density is 20‐fold higher than 3D skeletal muscle actuators, enabling multi‐fin robots with tunable speed and multidirectional steering.

Photo‐Switchable Molecular Module Programming PET Biodegradation in Aquatic Environments

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We address the plastic durability paradox by integrating an itaconic acid–derived pyrrolidone module into polymer backbones. Sunlight in water triggers Norrish Type I ring‐opening and hydrophilization, enabling rapid biodegradation into nontoxic minerals.
