Grain shape is one of the key factors deciding the yield product and the market value as appearance quality in rice ( L.). The grain shape of cultivars in Korea is quite monotonous because the selection pressure of rice breeding programs works in consideration of consumer preference. In this study, we identified QTLs associated with grain shape to improve the variety of grain shapes in Korean cultivars. QTL analysis revealed that eight QTLs related to five tested traits were detected on chromosomes 2, 5, and 10. Among them, three QTLs- (33.9% of PEV for grain length), (64.42% for grain width), and (49.2% for grain thickness)-were regarded as the main effect QTLs. Using the three QTLs, an ideal QTL combination ( + + ) could be constructed on the basis of the accumulated QTL effect without yield loss caused by the change in grain shape in the population. In addition, three promising lines with a slender grain type were selected as a breeding resource with a genetic background based on the QTL combination. The application of QTLs detected in this study could improve the grain shape of cultivars without any linkage drag or yield loss.

The formation of large polarons resulting from the Fröhlich coupling of photogenerated carriers with the polarized crystal lattice is considered crucial in shaping the outstanding optoelectronic properties in hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite crystals. Until now, the initial polaron dynamics after photoexcitation have remained elusive in the hybrid perovskite system. Here, based on the terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and optical-pump terahertz probe, we access the nature of interplay between photoexcited unbound charge carriers and optical phonons in MAPbBr within the initial 5 ps after excitation and have demonstrated the simultaneous existence of both electron- and hole-polarons, together with the photogenerated carrier dynamic process.

Self-assembly of nanoparticles (NPs) in solution has garnered tremendous attention among researchers because of their electrical, chemical, and optoelectronic properties at the macroscale with potential applications in bio-imaging, bio-medicine, and therapeutics. Control of size, shape, and composition at the nanoscale is important in tuning the material's bulk properties. The grafting of NPs with polymers enables us to tune such bulk material properties at the nano level by controlling their assemblies, especially in solutions.

Deep learning-based morphometric analysis of zebrafish is widely utilized for non-destructively identifying abnormalities and diagnosing diseases. However, obtaining discriminative and continuous organ category decision boundaries poses a significant challenge by directly observing zebrafish larvae from the outside. To address this issue, this study simplifies the organ areas to polygons and focuses solely on the endpoint positioning.

In this work, the rare earth element Ce was incorporated into the A-site of SrBaNbO ferroelectric ceramics, which was prepared using the conventional solid state reaction method and sintered under different procedures. A comprehensive investigation was conducted to assess the impact of Ce doping and varying sintering procedures on both the relaxor characteristics and electrical properties of the ceramics. When sintered at 1300 °C for 4 h, the grains exhibited an isometric shape.
