Transcriptome Profiling Revealed Light-Mediated Gene Expression Patterns of Plants in Forest Vertical Structures

Biology
Light is a critical environmental factor that shapes forest communities. The canopy trees intercept the light, thus understory plants become shaded. Shade leads to the attenuation of light intensity and a shift in the spectrum through the forest vertical

Astrocytic Phenotypic Switching in Posterior Piriform Cortex Orchestrates Bone Cancer Pain–Depression Comorbidity via Purinergic–Noradrenergic Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bone cancer pain and depression share a common origin: astrocytic A2‐to‐A1 transition in the posterior piriform cortex. This phenotypic shift disrupts the ATP–adenosine–A2AR–norepinephrine axis, simultaneously driving nociceptive and affective dysfunction.

The Spatiotemporal Genetic Architecture of Seed Vigor in Upland Cotton

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Leveraging the semi‐automated SeedRanger platform, we profiled the germination kinetics of 356 cotton accessions at a 30‐min interval. This high‐throughput phenomic approach delineated a temporal genetic network comprising 541 stage‐specific loci. Crucially, functional validation identified FLA2 as a pivotal, auxin‐modulated regulator that orchestrates
