Genome-wide identification of the ADF gene family and expression analysis of responses to cold stress in bitter gourd

BMC Plant Biology
Background Actin-depolymerizing factors (ADFs) maintain actin dynamics depending on the local concentration in cells, regulating the severing and disassembly of actin filaments at low concentrations, whereas they contribute to actin nucleation and Pi ...

Discriminations of Color and Pattern on Artificial Flowers by Male and Female Bumble Bees, \u3ci\u3eBombus Impatiens\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Apidae) [PDF]

, 2018
This study examined the performance of male bumble bees (Bombus impatiens) in color and pattern discriminations and compared it to that of female bees. Bees were trained to forage from rewarding (S+) and unrewarding (S-) artificial flowers which differed

Microscopic Insights into Magnetic Warping and Time‐Reversal Symmetry Breaking in Topological Surface States of Rare‐Earth‐Doped Bi2Te3

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Magnetic doping of the topological insulator Bi2Te3 with erbium adatoms induces out‐of‐plane magnetism and breaks time‐reversal symmetry, opening a Dirac gap and driving a Fermi surface transition from hexagonal to star‐of‐David geometry. Microscopy, spectroscopy, and magnetic dichroism reveal atomically controlled magnetic interactions that tailor the

Opportunities of Semiconducting Oxide Nanostructures as Advanced Luminescent Materials in Photonics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The review discusses the challenges of wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxides as a suitable material platform for photonics. They offer great versatility in terms of tuning microstructure, native defects, doping, anisotropy, and micro‐ and nano‐structuring. The review focuses on their light emission, light‐confinement in optical cavities, and

Genetic, hormonal, and transcriptomic analyses highlight the crucial role of phytohormones in first branch angle regulation in pepper

BMC Plant Biology
Background The first branch angle (FBA) is a critical trait influencing plant architecture, yield, and mechanized harvesting efficiency in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). However, the genes and regulatory processes involved remain largely unclear.

An Integrative Small RNA–Degradome–Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Mechanisms of Heat-Induced Anther Indehiscence in Pepper

Biology
Heat threatens male fertility in crops, yet the regulatory basis of anther dehiscence under high temperatures remains unclear. We compared a heat-sensitive pepper cultivar (DL) with a heat-tolerant landrace (B021) across two anther stages using ...

Tough, Ductile, and Strong Hard‐Soft Cementitious Composite Enabled by Multi‐Material Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Drawing inspiration from the layered hard‐soft architecture found in sea sponges, this work establishes a new framework for architected cementitious composites (ACC) through multi‐material additive manufacturing (MMAM) process. The integration of mortar and elastomer phases into layered architectures enables synergistic toughening mechanisms, including

De novo transcriptome analysis of Sinapis alba in revealing the glucosinolate and phytochelatin pathways

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Sinapis alba is an important condiment crop and can also be used as a phytoremediation plant. Though it has important economic and agronomic values, sequence data and the genetic tools are still rare in this plant.
