Untethered small actuators have various applications in multiple fields. However, existing small-scale actuators are very limited in their intractability with their surroundings, respond to only a single type of stimulus and are unable to achieve programmable structural changes under different stimuli. Here, we present a multiresponsive patternable actuator that can respond to humidity, temperature and light, via programmable structural changes.

Allelopathic rice cultivar PI312777 (PI) and non-allelopathic rice cultivar Lemont (Le) were mixed with barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli L., BYG) at various ratios (rice:weed ratios of 4:1, 2:1, and 1:1) in hydroponic cultures. The expression of four genes, i.

Article Synopsis
  • Soil rhizospheric metaproteomics is used to explore how plants and microorganisms interact in the soil ecosystem by analyzing protein content.
  • The study developed a method to extract proteins from different soil types, identifying 189 unique proteins from rice soil samples that play roles in various metabolic processes and plant-microbe interactions.
  • Key findings include that about one-third of protein spots were unidentified, the presence of conservative plant proteins, and the complexity of interactions in crop rhizospheric soil, paving the way for future research in soil biology.
