Artificial photosynthesis of urea from NH and CO seems to remain still essentially unexplored. Herein, three isomorphic three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks with twofold interpenetrated ffc topology are functionalized by benzene, pyrazine, and tetrazine active moieties, respectively. A series of experiment results disclose the gradually enhanced conductivity, light-harvesting capacity, photogenerated carrier separation efficiency, and co-adsorption capacity towards NH and CO in the order of benzene-, pyrazine-, and tetrazine-containing framework.

Nitric oxide (NO) positively contributes to maintaining a high photosynthetic rate in waterlogged-wheat plants by maintaining high stomatal conductance (g), mesophyll conductance (g), and electron transport rates in PSII (J). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the synergistic regulation of photosynthetic characteristics during wheat waterlogging remain unclear. Pot experiments were conducted with two cultivars: Yangmai15 (YM15: high waterlogging-tolerance capacity) and Yangmai24 (YM24: conventional waterlogging-tolerance capacity).

Transplantation experiments conducted in high altitude ecosystems are rising as key strategy to examine the response of individual plant transplanted across distinct elevations. However, plant physiological and biochemical performance in response to changes in abiotic factors across different species and mountain ranges is still lacking. So in the present study, we have made an attempt to link the physiological performance with that of altitudinal gradient in Ladakh by transplanting Lepidium latifolium at four different altitudinal sites.

However, vegetation indices-based linear regression exhibits insufficient utilization of spectral information, while full spectra-based traditional machine learning has limited representational capacity (partial least squares regression) or uninterpretable (convolution). In this study, we proposed a deep learning model with enhanced interpretability based on attention and vegetation indices calculation for global spectral feature mining to accurately estimate photosynthetic capacity.

Pairing photocatalytic 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline semi-dehydrogenation reaction (THIQ-SDR) with two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e- ORR) is a green solar to chemical strategy by simultaneously utilizing the photo-excited electrons and holes. However, it is still short of high-efficiency photocatalyst to drive two reactions above. In the present work, crystalline pyrene-thiourea/urea covalent organic frameworks (COF-Py-S and -O) were synthesized and demonstrated as high-performance metal-free photocatalysts.
