Roles and regulatory patterns of protein isoforms in plant adaptation and development.

Protein isoforms (PIs) play pivotal roles in regulating plant growth and development that confer adaptability to diverse environmental conditions. PIs are widely present in plants and generated through alternative splicing (AS), alternative polyadenylation (APA), alternative initiation (AI), and ribosomal frameshifting (RF) events. The widespread presence of PIs not only significantly increases the complexity of genomic information but also greatly enriches regulatory networks and enhances their flexibility.

Revolutionizing Underwater Sensor Performance: Tackling Rayleigh Scattering Challenges by Pseudo Random Noise.

Traditionally, Rayleigh scattering is thought to only impact fiber sensing system performance when the leading fiber is over 10 km long. However, this report illustrates theoretically and experimentally that Rayleigh scattering cannot be ignored in fiber optic interferometric sensor (FOIS) even with several hundred-meter common leading fiber because of the interaction of Rayleigh backward scattering (RBS) and returning interference signal. Herein, a conceptual framework is developed to elucidate the interaction between RBS and FOIS interference, revealing that, beyond laser monochromacity, the self-correction characteristic of laser pulses also influences coherent superposition.

Detailed Microscopic Reaction Mechanism during the Combustion Process of HAN-Based Propellant.

Hydroxylamine nitrate (HAN)-based propellants, renowned for their high energy efficiency and nontoxic properties, are considered candidates for next-generation green propellants. The molecular dynamics (AIMD) method was used to theoretically study the thermal decomposition reaction process of the HAN aqueous solution and the system mixed by HAN and fuel methanol/ethylammonium nitrate. The principal reaction pathways of HAN-based propellants are delineated by scrutinizing AIMD trajectory results.

Identification of grape H3K27 methyltransferase genes and their expression profiles during grape fruit ripening.

Background: HO treatment can accelerate grape ripening and mediate changes in histone methylation levels. Histone methylation, as an epigenetic modification, is involved in regulating the expression of genes related to fruit ripening, including H3K27ac, H3K4me1, H3K27me3 and H3K4me3. Among them, H3K27me3 methylation is generally negatively regulated in development, and H3K27 methyltransferase can participate in the development process of fruit by regulate the level of H3K27me3.

Investigation on the combustion mechanism for NF/H in DF/HF chemical lasers: a new perspective based on deep potential molecular dynamics simulations.

Combustion-driven deuterium fluoride/hydrogen fluoride (DF/HF) lasers are a crucial type of chemical lasers. Their chemical efficiency mainly depends on the production efficiency of atomic fluorine in the combustion chamber, where NF serves as the fluorine resource, and H acts as the reducing agent. However, due to the complex combustion process, high reaction temperatures, and potent corrosiveness of the products, the combustion mechanism of NF/H in the combustion chamber is still not fully revealed, including the chemical details of F atom generation.
