Article Synopsis
- Salicylic acid (SA) is a crucial plant hormone involved in growth and defense, produced mainly through two pathways: isochorismate synthase (ICS) and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL).
- Researchers used the CRISPR/Cas9 technology to create knockout mutants in rice that showed significant growth issues and lacked phylloquinone, suggesting a direct connection between OsICS and phylloquinone synthesis.
- Despite the growth defects, the levels of SA in the mutants remained unchanged, indicating that rice may utilize a different pathway for SA biosynthesis.
Two-dimensional intrinsic magnetic materials with high Curie temperature are promising candidates for next-generation spintronic devices. In this work, we design two kinds of two-dimensional transition metal nitrides, VN and FeN, both with a hexagonal honeycomb lattice. Based on the formation energy, and phonon spectra calculations as well as the molecular dynamics simulations, their structural stability is demonstrated.
