The MYB family and their response to abiotic stress in ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe).

Background: Zingiber officinale Roscoe, colloquially known as ginger, is a crop of significant medicinal and culinary value that frequently encounters adversity stemming from inhospitable environmental conditions. The MYB transcription factors have garnered recognition for their pivotal role in orchestrating a multitude of plant biological pathways. Nevertheless, the enumeration and characterization of the MYBs within Z.

Exceptional structural phase transition near room temperature in an organic-inorganic hybrid ferroelectric.

An organic-inorganic hybrid ferroelectric, (CHCHCHNH)[HgI], undergoes an exceptional structural phase transition near room temperature, triggered by a flip of half the organic cations and an order-disorder transition of the inorganic anions, and may be regarded as a displacive-type ferroelectric. This finding provides a new structural phase transition mechanism in molecule-based ferroelectrics.
