Karrikins are a family of compounds generated via the incomplete combustion of plant matter. Since their discovery as seed germination stimulants in 2004, a great deal has been learned about the chemistry and the biological mode of action of karrikins. Much interest and progress have stemmed from the structural similarity of karrikins to that of strigolactones - the shoot branching hormone. This review will provide a historical account of some of the more significant discoveries in this area of plant biology. It will discuss how the study of these abiotic signalling molecules, combined with advances in our understanding of strigolactones, has led us towards the discovery of new mechanisms that regulate plant growth and development.

Article Synopsis
  • Empowerment is crucial for women in India, yet patriarchal norms limit their autonomy, leading to heightened domestic violence and health issues.
  • The study aims to explore how different dimensions of women's empowerment relate to their attitudes toward justifying physical violence in certain situations, suggesting that increased empowerment may reduce acceptance of such violence.
  • Data was analyzed from the National Family Health Survey-5 (2019-2021), revealing low employment rates among women, high asset ownership, and significant instances of justified physical violence, indicating a complex relationship between empowerment and domestic abuse.

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) is a type of cyberattack in which multiple compromised systems flood the bandwidth or resources of a single system, making the flooded system inaccessible to legitimate users. Since large-scale botnets based on the Internet of Things (IoT) have been hotbeds for launching DDoS attacks, it is crucial to defend against DDoS-capable IoT botnets effectively. In consideration of resource constraints and frequent state changes for IoT devices, they should be equipped with repair measures that are cost-effective and adaptive to mitigate the impact of DDoS attacks.

The rise of big data and the internet of things has driven the demand for multimodal sensing and high-efficiency low-latency processing. Inspired by the human sensory system, we present a multifunctional optoelectronic-memristor-based reservoir computing (OM-RC) system by utilizing a CuSCN/PbS quantum dots (QDs) heterojunction. The OM-RC system exhibits volatile and nonlinear responses to electrical signals and wide-spectrum optical stimuli covering ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared (NIR) regions, enabling multitask processing of dynamic signals.
