StZIP2 promotes root growth by improving the transport efficiency of zinc in potato(Solanum tuberosum L.).

Zinc is an essential trace element for plant growth and development. Zinc transporters play an important role in regulating zinc homeostasis in plants. In this study, the potato cultivar 'Atlantic' was used as experimental material to analyze the expression characteristics of the StZIP2 gene in different potato tissues under zinc deficiency stress.

Programmable 2H-MoTe FGFET-Based CMOS Array.

A programmable 2H-MoTe floating-gate field-effect transistor (FGFET)-based complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) array has been fabricated on the grown substrate. Coplanar grown metallic 1T'-MoTe serves as the source and drain electrodes. The conductive type of the 2H-MoTe channel is manipulated by a top-gate engineering method.

Global Incidence, Risk Factors, and Temporal Trends of Adrenal Cancer: a systematic analysis of cancer registries.

Objectives: Adrenal gland cancer (AGC) is a rare cancer with a poor prognosis. Studies on this cancer have been limited. This study, for the first time, aims to analyse the global disease burden and trends of adrenal gland cancer in country level and examine lifestyle and socioeconomic risk factors to generate hypotheses.

Facial video based stress detection for enhancing ecological validity.

In contemporary society, high-level stress poses significant detrimental effects on mental and physical well-being, impacting performance in various aspects of life including work, studies, and social interactions. Previous research efforts have primarily relied on the induction of stress through diverse mental tasks under artificial experimental conditions, which may lack ecological validity. This study aimed to address this limitation by collecting facial data without additional contextual interventions during self-introductions from participants.

Impaired denitrification of aerobic granules in response to micro/nanoplastic stress: Insights from interspecies interactions and electron transfer processes.

The accumulation of micro/nanoplastics in wastewater significantly hinders denitrification in biological wastewater treatment systems, yet the intrinsic mechanisms are not fully understood. Herein, we combined signal molecule monitoring, electrochemical characterization and multi-omics analysis to investigate how quorum sensing (QS)-mediated microbial interactions influence denitrification in aerobic granular sludge systems. Results showed that after 90-day exposure to micro/nanoplastics, cross-talk between multiple signal molecules significantly declined, thereby disrupting the QS system to opportunely sense changes in the external environment.
