Radiative Thermal Management for Extreme Environments: Mechanisms and Design Strategies

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss the fundamental mechanisms of radiative cooling and solar heating, material and structural design strategies, hybrid approaches integrating additional heat transfer pathways, and durability‐oriented designs addressing environmental stresses.

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Knockout of BnaFAH Enhanced Brassica napus Resistance to Plutella xylostella Under a 2-Day Short-Day Photoperiod

Horticulturae
The diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) severely threatens global oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) production. This study demonstrates that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of two homologous BnaFAH, involved in tyrosine degradation, confers enhanced ...

Assessment of genetically modified maize MON 89034 × 1507 × MON 88017 × 59122 × DAS‐40278‐9 and subcombinations independently of their origin for food and feed uses, import and processing under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 (application EFSA‐GMO‐NL‐2013‐113)

EFSA Journal, 2019
Maize MON 89034 × 1507 × MON 88017 × 59122 × DAS‐40278‐9 (five‐event stack maize) was produced by conventional crossing to combine five single events: MON 89034, 1507, MON 88017, 59122 and DAS‐40278‐9. The GMO Panel previously assessed the 5 single maize

Novel Alleles of Two Tightly Linked Genes Encoding Polygalacturonase-Inhibiting Proteins (VrPGIP1 and VrPGIP2) Associated with the Br Locus That Confer Bruchid (Callosobruchus spp.) Resistance to Mungbean (Vigna radiata) Accession V2709

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Nearly all mungbean cultivars are completely susceptible to seed bruchids (Callosobruchus chinensis and Callosobruchus maculatus). Breeding bruchid-resistant mungbean is a major goal in mungbean breeding programs.

Dental Microwear Texture Analysis on Radular Teeth

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
3D microwear textures reveal how gastropod radular teeth respond to controlled abrasive contact. Distinct surface signatures distinguish regular abrasion from fracture‐dominated material removal, showing how mineralized coatings, fibrous cores, and substrate properties jointly shape wear and failure in a biological scraping interface.

Identification of B6T173 (ZmPrx35) as the prevailing peroxidase in highly insect-resistant maize (Zea mays, p84C3) kernels by activity-directed purification

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Plant peroxidases (PODs) are involved in diverse physiological processes, including defence against pathogens and insects. Contrary to their biological importance, only very few plant peroxidases have been proven on protein level, because their low ...

DNA Methylation Silences Exogenous Gene Expression in Transgenic Birch Progeny

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The genetic stability of exogenous genes in the progeny of transgenic trees is extremely important in forest breeding; however, it remains largely unclear.

Adsorbent Materials for Hydrocarbons Removal by Geopolymerization of Halloysite Clay Nanotubes Filled Within Chitosan Matrix

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Alkaline activation of halloysite clay nanotubes embedded in a chitosan matrix converts bionanocomposite films into porous geopolymeric materials with enhanced adsorption capacity toward hydrocarbons in both vapor and aqueous phases. The improved adsorption performance was demonstrated by the efficient capture of dodecane vapors and phenol from water ...

The laccase gene MdLac18 decouples the growth-defense trade-off by orchestrating lignification to enhance aphid resistance and biomass accumulation in Nicotiana benthamiana

Frontiers in Plant Science
Enhancing resistance to piercing-sucking pests while preserving superior agronomic performance remains a key challenge in plant breeding, constrained by the classical “growth-defense trade-off”.
