Genetic dissection of the root system architecture QTLome and its relationship with early shoot development, breeding and adaptation in durum wheat

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Root system architecture (RSA), shoot architecture, and shoot‐to‐root biomass allocation are critical for optimizing crop water and nutrient capture and ultimately grain yield. Nevertheless, only a few studies adequately dissected the genetic basis of RSA and its relationship to shoot development.

Metastructure‐enabled scalable multiple mode‐order converters: conceptual design and demonstration in direct‐access add/drop multiplexing systems

Nanophotonics, Volume 14, Issue 27, Page 5117-5132, December 2025.
Abstract The rapid advancement of multimode photonic technologies, optical computing, and quantum circuits, leveraging higher‐order modes, necessitates the development of on‐chip multiple mode‐order converters (MMOCs). However, existing schemes face limitations in traffic capacity, polarization‐dependence, and scalability.

The Brittle‐Plastic Transition in Quartz‐Albite Mixtures: New Insights From Shear Deformation Experiments at Mid‐to‐Lower Crustal Depth Conditions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Crustal strength is often characterized using a strength‐depth profile where laboratory‐derived friction and flow laws are connected at depth (i.e., the so‐called “Christmas Tree” diagram). Large, destructive earthquakes frequently nucleate within the transition zone from a frictional‐to‐viscous deformation regime, which represents the ...
