An Artificially Selected Cytokinin‐Pathway Transcription Factor Balances Soybean Yield and Pathogen Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cytokinin pathway transcription factor, RR2b, was artificially selected during soybean domestication and improvement based on its differential transcriptional activity, which correlates with ATT repeat polymorphisms in its promoter. RR2b balances yield and defense by fine‐tuning its expression level and offers a promising target for decoupling trade ...

A Scalable Double‐Sided Wet Etching Strategy for Large‐Area Mushroom‐Shaped Bionic Adhesives

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a scalable manufacturing strategy for high‐performance, large‐area, mushroom‐shaped bio‐inspired adhesives. Using a double‐sided wet etching process, the complex 3D metal molds are fabricated rapidly and controllably. The resulting adhesive structures exhibit strong, stable adhesion under various conditions, including atmosphere and ...

Neurolathyrism in Sub‐Saharan Africa—Assessing the Neurotoxic Risks of Lathyrus sativus Amid Drought and Food Security Challenges

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Representation of grass pea consumption in drought‐stricken sub‐Saharan Africa sustains nutrition, but excess β‐ODAP exposure due to multiple reasons triggers neurolathyrism, a progressive neurotoxic disorder. ABSTRACT Neurolathyrism is a progressive motor neuron disease due to the consumption of Lathyrus sativus (grass pea) over long periods.
