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 ...

The Heavy Metal-Associated Isoprenylated Plant Protein (HIPP) Gene Family Plays a Crucial Role in Cadmium Resistance in Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera G.)

Horticulturae
Cadmium (Cd) contamination poses significant threats to aquatic ecosystems. Heavy metal-associated isoprenylated plant proteins (HIPPs) are plant-specific chaperones involved in metal ion homeostasis and stress adaptation.

Drop‐Location‐Insensitive Droplet‐Based Electricity Generator Using Polydimethylsiloxane Slippery Covalently Attached Liquid Coatings

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Drop‐location sensitivity remains a key barrier to practical droplet‐based electricity generators (DEGs). Here, a polydimethylsiloxane slippery covalently attached liquid (PDMS‐SCAL)‐coated interface promotes droplet sliding instead of splitting or bouncing, allowing stable electricity generation from randomly falling raindrops. The resulting PDMS‐SCAL‐

Electrowetting on a lotus leaf [PDF]

Biomicrofluidics, 2009
Electrowetting on dielectrics has been widely used to manipulate and control microliter or nanoliter liquids in micro-total-analysis systems and laboratory on a chip. We carried out experiments on electrowetting on a lotus leaf, which is quite different from the equipotential plate used in conventional electrowetting.

Atmospheric Water Harvesting Through Polymer Hydrogel Sorbents: Materials Chemistry, Design Strategies, and Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Polymer‐based hydrogels have emerged as promising materials for atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) due to their high water affinity, tunable network structure, and excellent moisture adsorption‐desorption performance. Functional hydrogel systems enable efficient water capture and controlled release under low‐energy conditions, offering a sustainable ...

Precisely Regulating 2.45 s Pure Blue Room‐Temperature Phosphorescence via Supramolecular Coordination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Herein, a pure deep blue room‐temperature phosphorescence (415 nm) with lifetime up to 2.45 s is successfully achieved by a covalently crosslinking purely organic material based on boric acid (BA) and 3,5‐dicarboxyphenylboronic acid (BOP) through a simple dehydration reaction, which can be adjusted precisely by supramolecular coordination with ...

Antiserum Preparation of Recombinant Sweet Potato Latent Virus-Lotus (SPLV-Lotus) Coat Protein and Application for Virus-Infected Lotus Plant Detection

The Plant Pathology Journal, 2020
Lotus is one of the most important aquatic vegetables in China. Previously, we detected sweet potato latent virus from lotus (SPLV-lotus) and found that it has highly significant sequence diversity with SPLV-sweet potato isolates (SPLV-sp).
