High temperature stress seriously affects the quality and yield of vegetable crops, especially cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). However, the metabolic dynamics and gene regulatory network of cucumber in response to high temperature stress remain poorly studied. In this study, we identified a heat-tolerant cucumber Gy14 and a heat-sensitive cucumber 32X. RNA-seq analysis of Gy14 and 32X under high temperature stress showed that some differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were related to the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Metabolomic analysis revealed that there were more phenylpropanoids and their downstream derivatives in Gy14 compared to that in 32X under Re_2d condition (2 normal days recovery after heat). Integrated analysis of transcriptome and metabolome revealed that these upregulated genes played a pivotal role in flavonoid biosynthesis. Moreover, high temperature stress significantly induced the expression of the gibberellin (GA) biosynthesis genes and exogenous application of GA alleviated the damage of high temperature to cucumber seedlings. Together, these findings provided new insights into the transcriptome response and metabolomic reprogramming of cucumber against high temperature stress.

Leaf dry matter content (LDMC) is an important determinant of plant flammability. Investigating global patterns of LDMC could provide insights into worldwide plant flammability patterns, informing wildfire management. We characterised global patterns of LDMC across 4074 species from 216 families, revealing that phylogenetic and environmental constraints influence LDMC.

Unipolar barrier architecture is designed to enhance the photodetector's sensitivity by inducing highly asymmetrical barriers, a higher barrier for blocking majority carriers to depressing dark current, and a low minority carrier barrier without impeding the photocurrent flow through the channel. Depressed dark current without block photocurrent is highly desired for uncooled Long-wave infrared (LWIR) photodetection, which can enhance the sensitivity of the photodetector. Here, an excellent unipolar barrier photodetector based on multi-layer (ML) graphene (G) is developed, WSe, and PtSe (G-WSe-PtSe) van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure, in which extremely low dark current of 1.

Fluid flow across a Riga Plate is a specialized phenomenon studied in boundary layer flow and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) applications. The Riga Plate is a magnetized surface used to manipulate boundary layer characteristics and control fluid flow properties. Understanding the behavior of fluid flow over a Riga Plate is critical in many applications, including aerodynamics, industrial, and heat transfer operations.

Fever is a complication after colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The objective of this study was to explore the incidence and risk factors of fever after colorectal ESD and establish a predictive nomogram model. This retrospective analysis encompassed patients with colorectal lesions who underwent ESD between June 2008 and December 2021 in our center.

This study aims to evaluate the efficiency and energy release characteristics of different types of coal in pulse detonation engines (PDE) to advance the development of deep coal fluidization detonation technology, achieving more efficient and cleaner coal utilization. Using a custom PDE setup, experiments were conducted with four coal types at mass flow rates from 30 to 120 g/s. High-frequency pressure sensors assessed pressure dynamics and detonation wave propagation, complemented by numerical simulations for accuracy.
