Changes in the expression pattern of OsWUS negatively regulate plant stature and panicle development in rice.

WUSCHEL (WUS) and WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX (WOX) encode transcription factors and play important roles in regulating the formation and maintenance of shoot and floral meristems. OsWUS have distinct functions in meristem development with slightly tuned expression. However, the mechanisms regulating the specific expression of OsWUS need to be further explored.

Afterglow Electrochemiluminescence from Nitrogen-Deficient Graphitic Carbon Nitride.

Almost all current electrochemiluminescent reagents require real-time electrochemical stimulation to emit light. Here, we report a novel electrochemiluminescent reagent, nitrogen-deficient graphitic carbon nitride (CN), that can emit afterglow electrochemiluminescence (ECL) after cessation of electric excitation. CN obtained by post-thermal treatment of graphitic carbon nitride (CN) with KSCN has a cyanamide group and a nitrogen vacancy, which created defects to trap electrically injected electrons.

B, O and N Codoped Biomass-Derived Hierarchical Porous Carbon for High-Performance Electrochemical Energy Storage.

High specific surface area, reasonable pore structure and heteroatom doping are beneficial to enhance charge storage, which all depend on the selection of precursors, activators and reasonable preparation methods. Here, B, O and N codoped biomass-derived hierarchical porous carbon was synthesized by using KCl/ZnCl as a combined activator and porogen and HBO as both boron source and porogen. Moreover, the cheap, environmentally friendly and heteroatom-rich laver was used as a precursor, and impregnation and freeze-drying methods were used to make the biological cells of laver have sufficient contact with the activator so that the layer was deeply activated.

FeNbO/reduced graphene oxide composites with intercalation pseudo-capacitance enabling ultrahigh energy density for lithium-ion capacitors.

Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs), which combine the characteristics of lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors, have been well studied recently. Extensive efforts are devoted to developing fast Li insertion/deintercalation anode materials to overcome the discrepancy in kinetics between battery-type anodes and capacitive cathodes. Herein, we design a FeNbO/reduced graphene oxide (FNO/rGO) hybrid material as a fast-charge anode that provides a solution to the aforementioned issue.
