Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

Natural Variation in ZmASB1 Links Tryptophan Metabolism to Root Growth and Drought Tolerance in Maize

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Natural variation in the maize ZmASB1 promoter regulates tryptophan accumulation, root development, and drought tolerance through a tryptophan–auxin pathway. A 5‐bp InDel alters ZmDOF17 binding and promoter activity, and the favorable allele is enriched during breeding. These findings reveal a cis‐regulatory mechanism linking amino acid metabolism with
