Phosphorylation of Arabidopsis NRT1.1 regulates plant stomatal aperture and drought resistance in low nitrate condition.

Background: NITRATE TRANSPORTER 1.1 (NRT1.1) functions as a dual affinity nitrate transceptor regulated by phosphorylation at threonine residue 101 (T101).

Unlocking Advanced Architectures of Single-Crystal Metal-Organic Frameworks.

The synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with diverse geometries has captivated considerable interest due to their manifestation of novel and extraordinary properties. While much progress has been made in shaping regular polyhedral single-crystal MOFs, the creation of more complex, topologically intricate nanostructures remains a largely unexplored frontier. Here, we present a refined site-specific anisotropic assembly and etching co-mediation approach to fabricate a series of hierarchical MOF nanohybrids and single-crystal MOFs.

Lattice Distortions Promoting the In-Depth Reconstruction of Ni-Based Electrocatalysts with Enriched Oxygen Vacancies for the Electrochemical Oxidation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural toward 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid.

The electrocatalytic 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) oxidation reaction (HMFOR) toward 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has been considered a promising approach for the substitution of the energy-consuming and hazardous oxygen evolution reaction and for the valorization of renewable biomass. However, it is limited by the susceptibility of HMF to the oxidative environment and requires efficient electrocatalysts. Herein, a NiMo complex (NiMo-N) is provided as the precatalyst for the HMFOR, exhibiting favorable performances with a current density of 450 mA·cm achieved at an anodic potential of 1.

Efficient construction of core/double-shelled structured AP@nano-graphite@F energetic microcapsules with low sensitivity and hygroscopicity.

Ammonium perchlorate (AP) is widely utilized in aerospace, defense and other fields due to its high energy density, exceptional stability, easy availability and adaptability. However, the high sensitivity and hygroscopicity of AP severely constrain its application in numerous fields. In this study, a two-step continuous coating method was employed to construct AP-based energetic microcapsules with low sensitivity and hygroscopicity.

Polysaccharides from maggot extracts suppressed colorectal cancer progression by inducing ferroptosis via HMOX1/GPX4 signaling pathway.

Maggots contain various kinds of polysaccharides and recent studies mostly concentrated on their anti-inflammatory functions. While the molecule mechanisms related to the polysaccharides inhibiting carcinogenesis remains unclear. Here we characterized the polysaccharides extracted from maggot (MEs) determining their anti-colon cancer potentials.
