Four-Dimensional Data-Independent Acquisition-Based Proteomic Profiling Combined with Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals the Involvement of the Slym1-SlFHY3-CAB3C Module in Regulating Tomato Leaf Color.

In green plants, the chloroplast is responsible for light energy transition and organic assimilation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying chloroplast development in horticultural crops remain unclear. Here, four-dimensional data-independent acquisition-based proteomic profiling identified 1,727 differentially expressed proteins between "Zhongshu 4" (ZS4) and () leaves, a considerable proportion of which were down-regulated chloroplast proteins.

Self-Enhancement of Water Electrolysis by Electrolyte-Poled Ferroelectric Catalyst.

Efficient and durable electrocatalysts with superior activity are needed for the production of green hydrogen with a high yield and low energy consumption. Electrocatalysts based on transition metal oxides hold dominance due to their abundant natural resources, regulable physical properties, and good adaptation to a solution. In numerous oxide catalyst materials, ferroelectrics, possessing semiconducting characteristics and switchable spontaneous polarization, have been considered promising photoelectrodes for solar water splitting.

Resistance to post-emergent herbicides is becoming common for grass weeds on New Zealand wheat and barley farms.

To estimate the prevalence of herbicide-resistant weeds, 87 wheat and barley farms were randomly surveyed in the Canterbury region of New Zealand. Over 600 weed seed samples from up to 10 mother plants per taxon depending on abundance, were collected immediately prior to harvest (two fields per farm). Some samples provided by agronomists were tested on an ad-hoc basis.

Characterization of clopyralid resistance in lawn burweed (Soliva sessilis).

Soliva sessilis is a troublesome annual weed species in New Zealand turfgrass. This weed has been controlled selectively in New Zealand turfgrass for many years using pyridine herbicides such as clopyralid. However, in some golf courses, the continuous application of pyridine herbicides has resulted in the selection of S.
