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.

Flowers and Insects. XXIII [PDF]

Botanical Gazette, 1892
The flower groups are divided into (i) a social set, whose flowers are in heads, spikes, or close umbels, so that insects pass from one to another without taking wing or climbing; and (2) a non-social set. The latter contains 54.4 per cent of the flowers, and is divided into Ma, I2I long-tongued bee flowers, and II adapted to birds, hawk-moths, and ...

Hierarchical Multi‐Material Architectures With Gradient Design for Dynamic‐Range Flexible Tactile Sensing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hierarchical multi‐material TPMS lattices are engineered as flexible tactile sensors by combining soft and stiff elastomeric layers with a conformal conductive coating. The bilayer architecture delivers sensitivity at low pressures while maintaining a broad detectable range under large loads, enabling reliable pressure and vibration monitoring for ...

In Situ Integrated Titanium Oxide Synaptic Phototransistor Enabling Multimodal Plasticity and Noise‐Robust Selective Attention

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An in situ integrated TiO2/SiOx/Al2O3 synaptic phototransistor couples ultraviolet and electrical stimuli within a scalable, CMOS‐compatible oxide stack. Multimodal plasticity, spike‐timing‐dependent learning, and bee‐inspired associative conditioning are achieved through trap‐mediated temporal dynamics.

Optically Active Birefringent Polymer–Lipid Hybrid Microparticles With Dual‐Stimuli Responsiveness

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
The present study reports on geometrically tunable, magnetic and NIR‐stimuli‐responsive anisotropic microparticles that exhibit intrinsic birefringence due to their lamellar crystalline architecture, enabling label‐free detection under a polarized light.

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 ...
