An improved method for transformation of lettuce by Agrobacterium tumefaciens with a gene that confers freezing resistance

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2001
An efficient method for constructing transgenic lettuce cultivars by Agrobacterium tumefaciens was described by Torres et al., 1993. In the present work, an improvement of the above procedure is described and applied to transform the cultivar Grand ...

Enhancing Low‐Temperature Performance of Sodium‐Ion Batteries via Anion‐Solvent Interactions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
DOL is introduced into electrolytes as a co‐solvent, increasing slat solubility, ion conductivity, and the de‐solvent process, and forming an anion‐rich solvent shell due to its high interaction with anion. With the above virtues, the batteries using this electrolyte exhibit excellent cycling stability at low temperatures. Abstract Sodium‐ion batteries

Characterization of Two Novel Heat Shock Protein 70 Transcripts from Sitodiplosis mosellana and Their Response to Larval Diapause and Thermal Stress

Biology
The heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family mediates responses to environmental stress in insects. The wheat midge Sitodiplosis mosellana, a worldwide pest, avoids summer and winter temperature extremes by diapause of the third-instar larvae in the soil. To

Copper Doping Enhances the Activity and Selectivity of Atomically Precise Ag44 Nanoclusters for Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
By a simple anti‐Galvanic reaction, up to six copper atoms could be preferably doped into the Ag2(SR)5 staple motifs and Ag20 dodecahedral shell of an atomically precise Ag44(SR)30 nanocluster. When anatase TiO2 is used as substrate, the (AgCu)44/TiO2 photocatalyst exhibited much improved activity in photocatalytic CO2 reduction compared to Ag44/TiO2 ...

Enhancing tunnel cold resistance in cold regions with overlapping-tiles cold-proof wall

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering
Tunnels in cold regions are susceptible to freeze damage. The overlapping-tiles cold-proof walls (OTCW) proposed in this study can effectively block cold airflow into the tunnel and mitigate freeze damage. The anti-freezing ability of OTCW was validated through model tests and numerical simulations, and the structural design was recommended based on ...

Host‐Directed Biomaterials for Combatting Bloodstream Infections: From Macrocyclic Peptides to Immune‐Activating Cell Backpacks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bloodstream infections (BSI) are one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in both civilian and military populations. This paper summarizes recent progress in novel treatment strategies to manage BSI arising from both bacterial and fungal pathogens using molecules, particles, and materials to elicit host‐directed immunity.

Direct Evidence of Topological Dirac Fermions in a Low Carrier Density Correlated 5d Oxide

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The 5d oxide BiRe2O6 is discovered as a low‐carrier‐density topological semimetal hosting symmetry‐protected Dirac fermions stabilized by nonsymmorphic symmetries. Angle‐resolved photoemission spectroscopy, quantum oscillations, and magnetotransport measurements reveal gapless Dirac cones, quasi‐2D Fermi surfaces, high carrier mobility, and a field ...
