Since ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) possess a variety of intrinsic defects, they can provide a wide spectrum of visible emission, without adding any impurity or any doping atoms. They are attracting more and more interest as a material for light sources and energy downshifting systems. However, defect emission with a high luminescence quantum efficiency (PL QY) is difficult to obtain.

- The order of rust fungi includes over 7,000 species that significantly affect agriculture, horticulture, forestry, and ecosystems.
- Phakopsora pachyrhizi, the fungus responsible for Asian soybean rust disease, is a prime example of this impact and has a complex genome that has been challenging to assemble accurately.
- Researchers sequenced three genomes of P. pachyrhizi, revealing a size of up to 1.25 Gb and a high transposable element content (~93%), demonstrating the role of these elements in host adaptation, stress responses, and genetic variability.
