Genome-wide identification, characterization and expression pattern analysis of HAK/KUP/KT potassium transporter gene family in potato.

The HAK/KUP/KT (High-affinity K transporters/K uptake permeases/K transporters) is the largest and most dominant potassium transporter family in plants, playing a crucial role in various biological processes. However, our understanding of HAK/KUP/KT gene family in potato ( L.) remains limited and unclear.

Facile Fabrication of Binary-Structured Fibrous Membranes with Antifouling and Flame-Retardant Properties for Durable Water/Oil Separation.

Membrane fouling from dispersed droplets during water/oil separation undermines performance and limits long-term use. Additionally, there is an urgent need for flame-retardant fibrous membranes capable of purifying high-temperature polluted oils. Inspired by the binary structure of taro leaves, this study introduces a novel fibrous membrane with both antifouling and flame-retardant properties for water/oil treatment.

Curcumin administration alleviates seminal vesicle damage in type 1 diabetic rats by promoting AQP8 expression through AR activation.

Diabetes is a detriment to male reproductive health, notably through its capacity to diminish secretion from accessory glands such as the seminal vesicles and prostate, which are crucial for reproductive function. Curcumin, a naturally derived polyphenol renowned for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidative attributes, has demonstrated potential in mitigating tissue damage across various organs in diabetic patients. Despite its established benefits, the specific impact of curcumin on seminal vesicle damage in the context of diabetes remains underexplored.

Coherent harmonic generation of magnons in spin textures.

Harmonic generation, a notable non-linear phenomenon, has promising applications in information processing. For spin-waves in ferromagnetic materials, great progress has been made in the generation higher harmonics, however probing the coherence of these higher harmonics is challenging. Here, using in-situ diamond sensors, we study the coherent harmonic generation of spin waves in a soft ferromagnet.

Transient pulsed discharge preparation of graphene aerogel supports asymmetric Cu cluster catalysts promote CO electroreduction.

Designing asymmetrical structures is an effective strategy to optimize metallic catalysts for electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reactions. Herein, we demonstrate a transient pulsed discharge method for instantaneously constructing graphene-aerogel supports asymmetric copper nanocluster catalysts. This process induces the convergence of copper atoms decomposed by copper chloride onto graphene originating from the intense current pulse and high temperature.
