Digest: Selection for staggered pollen release as a driver of heteranthery.

Why do some flowers have stamens of different shapes and sizes? Focusing on a group of Neotropical flowering plants, Dellinger et al. tackled this question and found that the evolution of heteranthery, contrary to the predominant view, is not strictly related to pollen-reward pollination and selection for division of labor between stamens. Moreover, they found support for the idea that selection for staggered pollen release might lead to heteranthery.

Investigating ultraviolet (UV) birefringent crystals is a focal point of research in recent years. The development of superior birefringent materials faces substantial challenges, primarily due to the need to pinpoint optimal fundamental building blocks and to perfect their geometric arrangement within the crystal lattice. By selecting a planar π-conjugated [C(NH)] group and a staggered [SO] group, we have successfully synthesized an organic-inorganic hybrid crystal, [C(NH)]SO.

Two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D COFs), a family of crystalline materials with abundant porous structures offering nanochannels for molecular transport, have enormous potential in the applications of separation, energy storage, and catalysis. However, 2D COFs remain limited by relatively large pore sizes (>1 nm) and weak interlayer interactions between 2D nanosheets, making it difficult to achieve efficient membranes to meet the selective sieving requirements for water molecules (0.3 nm) and hydrated salt ions (>0.
