Fenced enclosure and increased rainfall facilitate recovery of degraded desert steppe by restructuring soil seed bank dynamics

BMC Plant Biology
Background Soil seed bank is pivotal for vegetation regeneration in degraded desert steppes. However, there is limited information on the dynamic changes of aboveground vegetation and soil seed banks across different degradation stages of desert steppe ...

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.

Oral Nanomicelle‐Mediated Sequential Butyrate Production in the Intestine for Ulcerative Colitis and Immunosuppression Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
After oral administration, inodorous GLU‐BA self‐assembles into nanomicelles in aqueous environments to resist premature gastric adsorption. Upon reaching the intestine, endogenous esterases rapidly cleave the built‐in ester bonds in these nanomicelles to release BA and GLU, with GLU further metabolized by gut microbiota to gradually generate BA ...

Functional–Taxonomic Scaling Resolves Conflicting Average Genome Size Estimates Across Environmental Gradients

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on genome size‐functional breadth theory, we introduce and validate a framework that adjudicates conflicting average genome size (AGS) estimates by testing which estimate yields a gap between scaled functional diversity and scaled taxonomic diversity that is consistent with the expected positive association between genome size and gene functional

Molecular Bases and Genetic Design of Rice Disease Resistance for Optimized Yield and Sustainable Agriculture

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study integrates rice immune perception, signal transduction, and resistance output into a multi‐omics framework. By combining high‐throughput sequencing, phenomics, and AI‐assisted design with marker‐assisted selection, gene editing, and rapid domestication, we aim to accelerate the precise breeding of disease‐resistant rice varieties by ...

Soil salinity regulates spatial-temporal heterogeneity of seed germination and seedbank persistence of an annual diaspore-trimorphic halophyte in northern China

BMC Plant Biology
Background and aims Seed heteromorphism is a plant strategy that an individual plant produces two or more distinct types of diaspores, which have diverse morphology, dispersal ability, ecological functions and different effects on plant life history ...
