High‐entropy materials (HEMs), typically composed of five or more principal elements in near‐equimolar ratios, offer significant potential due to their unique properties. This review outlines the emergence and structural evolution of HEMs, followed by an in‐depth discussion of the elemental roles (active sites, promoters, or stabilizers) for water ...

Phytophthora capsici effector PcRD18 targets tomato GSNOR to disrupt NO homeostasis, promoting S‐nitrosylation of immune proteins like RBOHD. This suppresses ROS bursts and promotes pathogen infection. Mutation of the PcRD18‐binding sites of GSNOR avoids pathogen manipulation and offers a strategy to enhance crop resistance. Abstract Nitric oxide (NO),
