From Defense Executor to Engineering Target: Harnessing Lignin for Crop Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lignin serves as both a physical and chemical executor of broad‐spectrum plant immunity. This review systematically summarizes classical and recent advances in lignin‐mediated immunity, outlines the multifaceted regulatory modules controlling lignification under biotic stress, discusses key physiological and biochemical mechanisms behind lignin‐based ...

Graphdiyne as a Hole‐Transport Channel in Carbon Nitride Heterojunctions for Synergistic CO2 Reduction and γ‐Butyrolactone Synthesis

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A fully metal‐free heterojunction constructed from graphdiyne (GDY) and polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) enables efficient coupling of CO2 reduction and tetrahydrofuran oxidation. GDY serves as a hole‐transport channel, establishing a built‐in electric field that drives spatial charge separation. The optimized catalyst achieves near‐unity selectivity for

Ban Glyphosate—Does It Affect the Swedish Farmers' Willingness to Grow Cover Crops?

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cultivation of cover crops is one of the new Eco‐scheme practices introduced in Sweden. This study examines how the design of policy attributes of these schemes influences farmers' willingness to grow cover crops on arable land, with particular focus on the potential impact of a glyphosate ban.

Catalytic Functionalization of Unactivated π‐Bonds Enabled by Bidentate Directing Auxiliaries

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This review explores how bidentate directing auxiliaries have advanced transition‐metal catalysis for unactivated alkene/alkyne functionalization. By leveraging chelated intermediates, bidentate directing auxiliaries enable precise hydrofunctionalization, difunctionalization, and C─H activation of π‐bonds with unique selectivity and reactivity.
