Plasticity in root system architecture of rice genotypes exhibited under different soil water distributions in soil profile

Plant Production Science, 2019
The root system architecture (RSA) has been reported to be determined by several root traits such as branching, elongation, and growth angle. This study aimed to evaluate the genotypic variation of plasticity in RSA in response to different soil water ...

Molecular Design Strategies for High‐Voltage Organic Cathodes

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This work proposes molecular engineering strategies for high‐voltage organic cathode materials for Li‐ion batteries: (1) increase Li‐O coordination number (CN), (2) achieve a greater increase in aromaticity upon reduction (∆Aromaticity), and (3) add an electron‐withdrawing group (EWG), through a combined experimental and computational study on reported

Phenotyping, genome‐wide dissection, and prediction of maize root architecture for temperate adaptability

iMeta
Root System Architecture (RSA) plays an essential role in influencing maize yield by enhancing anchorage and nutrient uptake. Analyzing maize RSA dynamics holds potential for ideotype‐based breeding and prediction, given the limited understanding of the ...

T. rex cognition was T. rex‐like—A critical outlook on diverging views of the neurocognitive evolution in dinosaurs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract A recent debate has emerged between Caspar et al. (2024) and Herculano‐Houzel (2023) on inferring extinct dinosaur cognition by estimating brain neuron counts. While thought‐provoking, the discussion largely overlooks the function of cognition, as well as partly neglects the difficulties involved in estimating neuron numbers, which according ...

High Temperature can Change Root System Architecture and Intensify Root Interactions of Plant Seedlings

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Climate change could alter plant aboveground and belowground resource allocation. Compared with shoots, we know much less about how roots, especially root system architecture (RSA) and their interactions, may respond to temperature changes.

Enhancing the Secretion Systems: Genetic Engineering of Super Bioagents for Effective Plant Disease Control

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Genetic engineering (GE) overcomes BCA limits, enabling robust, scalable crop protection. “Super Bioagents” (SBs) use optimized SSs to enhance bioactive molecule delivery. Optimizing SSs enhance precise, sustainable effector deployment for stable disease suppression. SBs use microbiome‐informed design for scalable, next‐gen sustainable crop protection.

Hyperoside alleviates endometrial stromal cell senescence in unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion via DHX9‐mediated R‐loop resolution

iMeta, EarlyView.
This study suggests that the food‐derived flavonoid hyperoside may act as a natural DExH‐box helicase 9 (DHX9) modulator, directly targeting Thr419 of DHX9 to help resolve pathological R‐loop accumulation. Consequently, it suppresses cyclic GMP‐AMP synthase‐stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS‐STING)‐driven endometrial stromal senescence and restores ...

Soil Silicon Application Alleviates Drought Stress in Sugar Beet (Beta vulgaris L.)

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background: The increasing frequency and intensity of drought events have led to yield and quality losses in sugar beet production in temperate regions in Central Europe. Under arid conditions, silicon (Si) application reduced beet yield losses under drought. Similar data for temperate climates are missing.

Polycarbonate Vitrimers and Dynamic Co‐Networks From Epoxide/Carbon Dioxide Copolymerization

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates how CO2‐derived poly(propylene carbonate) and poly(cyclohexene carbonate) backbones influence vitrimer thermo‐mechanical behavior. By tuning backbone composition, epoxide crosslinker chemistry and blend ratios, the crosslinked materials span a wide property window, from highly extensible to stiff, glassy networks, establishing an
