Leaf variegation caused by plastome structural variation: an example from .

Variegated plants often exhibit plastomic heteroplasmy due to single-nucleotide mutations or small insertions/deletions in their albino sectors. Here, however, we identified a plastome structural variation in albino sectors of the variegated plant (Asphodelaceae), a perennial herbaceous plant widely cultivated as an ornamental in tropical Asia. This structural variation, caused by intermolecular recombination mediated by an 11-bp inverted repeat flanking a 92-bp segment in the large single-copy region (LSC), generates a giant plastome (228 878 bp) with the largest inverted repeat of 105 226 bp and the smallest LSC of 92 bp known in land plants.

Resurrection of (Sonerileae, Melastomataceae) with description of a new species .

Recent research has indicated that the (raphides) clade (Sonerileae, Melastomataceae) is only distantly related to the type of and should be separated as a distinct genus. Phylogeny of this clade is here reconstructed with expanded taxon sampling. Four strongly supported subclades have been identified.

Highly Compressible and Sensitive Flexible Piezoresistive Pressure Sensor Based on MWCNTs/TiCT MXene @ Melamine Foam for Human Gesture Monitoring and Recognition.

Flexible sensing devices provide a convenient and effective solution for real-time human motion monitoring, but achieving efficient and low-cost assembly of pressure sensors with high performance remains a considerable challenge. Herein, a highly compressible and sensitive flexible foam-shaped piezoresistive pressure sensor was prepared by sequential fixing multiwalled carbon nanotubes and Ti3C2Tx MXene on the skeleton of melamine foam. Due to the porous skeleton of the melamine foam and the extraordinary electrical properties of the conductive fillers, the obtained MWCNTs/Ti3C2Tx MXene @ melamine foam device features high sensitivity of 0.

High-Performance Flexible Piezoresistive Sensor Based on TiCT MXene with a Honeycomb-like Structure for Human Activity Monitoring.

Wearable and flexible pressure sensors have sparked great interest due to their unique capacity to conformally attach to the surface of the skin and quantify human activities into recordable electric signals. As a result, more and more research efforts are being devoted to developing high-sensitivity and cost-effective flexible sensors for monitoring an individual's state of activity. Herein, a high-performance flexible piezoresistive sensor was designed and fabricated by combing 2D transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides (MXene) with a honeycomb-like structure formed by femtosecond filamentating pulses.

Neural Network-Enabled Flexible Pressure and Temperature Sensor with Honeycomb-like Architecture for Voice Recognition.

Flexible pressure sensors have been studied as wearable voice-recognition devices to be utilized in human-machine interaction. However, the development of highly sensitive, skin-attachable, and comfortable sensing devices to achieve clear voice detection remains a considerable challenge. Herein, we present a wearable and flexible pressure and temperature sensor with a sensitive response to vibration, which can accurately recognize the human voice by combing with the artificial neural network.
