Self‐Healing Starch‐Based Ionogels with Hydroneutral Dipole–Dipole Interactions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces starch‐based, conductive, underwater‐healable, and transparent ionogels for soft electronics (SCUTEs). Starch macromolecules are partially substituted with cyanoethyl groups and incorporated with hydrophobic ionic liquid. The polar yet hydroneutral cyanoethyl groups facilitate strong dynamic dipole–dipole interactions that remain ...

Effects of changing assimilate supply on starch synthesis in maize kernels under high temperature stress

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
High temperature stress (HT) significantly reduces maize yield by impairing starch accumulation in kernels. However, the mechanism by which HT affects starch synthesis remains controversial - whether through reduced assimilate supply or direct inhibition

Bio‐templated Piezoresistive Yarn for High Sensitivity Movement Monitoring Textiles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study developed a conductive coating by biotemplating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) onto a Potato virus A (PV) particle network, cross‐linked on co‐polyamide‐starch (CoPA‐SS) coils. The combination of CoPA‐SS's shape memory and PV‐AgNP's piezoresistivity achieved high strain sensitivity and minimal hysteresis.

Source-sink synergy is the key unlocking sweet potato starch yield potential

Nature Communications
Sweet potato starch is in high demand globally for food and industry. However, starch content is negatively correlated with fresh yield. It is urgent to uncover the genetic basis and molecular mechanisms underlying the starch yield of sweet potato.
