Single–Atom Iron Sites Enable Enhanced Arsenic Removal From Water Through Synergistic Adsorption–Oxidation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single–atom iron anchored on nitrogen–doped porous biochar exhibited ultra–efficient performance, exceptional environmental resilience, and integrated adsorption–oxidation functionality. The multifunctional architecture of the support and the unparalleled reactivity of single–atom iron underpinned the cooperative adsorption and oxidation of As(III ...

Soil Type and Associated Microbiome Influence Chitin's Growth Promotion Effect in Lettuce

Phytobiomes Journal
Chitin amendment of peat substrate has been proven effective in promoting lettuce growth and increasing phenolic compounds in lettuce seedlings. However, the effect of chitin soil amendment on lettuce growth in mineral soil remains unexplored. The effect

Self‐Assembly of Organic–Inorganic Copolymers Toward Bio‐Inspired Cementitious Composites

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Organic–inorganic copolymerization of calcium silicate hydrate and thioctic acid produces a self‐organized nanocomposite inspired by the disordered collagen–mineral architecture of trabecular bone. The resulting material combines a compressive strength above 300 MPa with intrinsic physical reprocessibility, retaining over 80% of its strength and energy

Toward Material‐Specific Peptides From in Silico Guided Peptide Engineering to Target PET in the Presence of PS

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a computational–experimental strategy to engineer material‐binding peptides toward polymer specificity. Molecular dynamics simulations identified residues driving polystyrene binding, enabling targeted substitutions that greatly reduced polystyrene affinity while preserving PET binding.

Asymmetric Evolution of Antennal Cell Types Underlies a Derived Ammonia‐Sensing Logic for Ecological Adaptation in Bactrocera dorsalis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative antennal single‐nucleus transcriptomics reveals cell‐type‐dependent transcriptomic divergence in Bactrocera dorsalis, with similar structural cells but divergent sensory neurons. This neuronal diversification is associated with a distinct ammonia‐sensing pathway, linking female attraction to bird‐dropping‐associated cues with nutritional ...

Pretreatment of chitin depolymerization by expansin-like protein to improve hydrolysis efficiency

Heliyon
Chitin is a polysaccharide similar to cellulose that contains abundant hydrogen bonds. Expansin-like proteins disrupt hydrogen bond networks, causing cellulose to swell and accelerating its degradation.

The BTB/POZ‐MATH Protein ZmBPM1 Interacts With Autophagy‐related Protein ZmATG6 and Modulates the NLR Protein Rp1‐D21‐Mediated Defense Response in Maize

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The maize BTB/POZ‐MATH (BPM) protein ZmBPM1 interacts with autophagy‐related protein ZmATG6 to relocate the NLR protein Rp1‐D21 from the nucleo‐cytoplasmic compartment into autophagosome‐like puncta, leading to autophagy‐mediated turnover and suppressing the hypersensitive response.

Affinity of rhizobacterial chitinases towards chitin polymers from shrimp exoskeleton and fungal cell wall: Optimization for effective biocontrol potentials

Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications
Bacteria that can hydrolyze shrimp shell chitin and fungal cell wall chitin were isolated from tomato rhizosphere soil in an effort to find chitin-degrading enzymes. Extracellular nature of chitinase was confirmed in agarose-chitin.

Chitin Facilitated Mineralization in the Eastern Oyster

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Chitin is often reported in molluscan shells, where it likely contributes to the mechanical strength of the biomineral. However, the role of this polysaccharide in relation to the process of shell formation is not well understood.

The Mitogen‐Activated Protein Kinase GhNTF3 Modulates the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis‐Immunity Trade‐Off in Cotton by Regulating Salicylic Acid Biosynthesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
AM symbiosis induces GhWAK13 to promote fungal colonization. GhNTF3 negatively regulates symbiosis by promoting SA biosynthesis. GhWAK13 sequesters GhNTF3 at the membrane, limiting its nuclear translocation and relieving SA‐mediated suppression. Under Verticillium stress, GhNTF3 enters the nucleus and interacts with GhJAZ6 to activate SA signaling ...
