Rainfall Shapes the Diversity of Soil Nitrogen‐Fixing Microorganisms Worldwide

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the distinctive pattern and mechanism of rainfall driving the global biodiversity and biogeography of soil potential N‐fixing microorganisms, and constructs the theoretical framework. The results guide us on how to maintain ecosystem productivity under future climate changes (e.g., whether a specific region needs more N fertilizers ...

MOF‐Derived Cu‐TiO2/Alginate Micromotors for Buoyancy‐Regulated 3D Motion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, cyanobacteria‐inspired sodium alginate (SA)/Cu‐TiO2/Fe3O4 hydrogel micromotors generate and encapsulate O2 microvesicles upon light irradiation, enabling buoyancy‐mediated Z‐axis upward migration and surface enrichment at the light‐exposed water‐air surface.

TECTB Variants Reveal Tectorial Membrane Vulnerability in Dominant Non‐Syndromic Hearing Loss

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TECTB is a non‐collagenous protein of the tectorial membrane – an extracellular matrix of the cochlea. This study identifies dominant missense variants in TECTB linked to human hereditary deafness in two unrelated families. Genetically engineered mice homozygous for one of the variants are profoundly deaf, whereas heterozygous mice have normal hearing ...

Allele-Specific Effects of RNRS1 on Chloroplast Biogenesis and Albino Stripe Phenotypes in Rice

Agronomy
Leaves are the primary photosynthetic organs, and alterations in leaf color can affect photosynthesis and plant biomass. In an EMS-mutagenized SN9816 population, we identified two white-striped mutants, ws21-1 and ws21-2.

Single Mother Work and Poverty under Welfare Reform: Are Policy Impacts Different in Rural Areas? [PDF]

During the 1990s, employment increased and poverty declined for single mothers in rural and urban areas. Our results suggest that, holding demographics constant, changes in welfare and social policy during this decade contributed to employment increases--

Polydopamine‐Wool Textiles for Sustainable Interfacial Solar Vapor Generation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A natural wool textile engineered for high solar absorbance and a fast‐wicking structure serves as a highly efficient, single‐layer system for interfacial solar vapor generation (ISVG). This integrated evaporator seamlessly couples rapid water transport with continuous evaporation. Ultimately, this sustainable photothermal design offers a scalable, eco‐

Food allergies in rural areas

Advances in Dermatology and Allergology, 2016
A food allergy is a group of symptoms occurring in the organism and resulting from consuming some food, where the problems are conditioned by immunological mechanisms. The symptoms may become apparent first in adulthood and they may be an initial manifestation of a latent allergy.
