The plant hormone ethylene regulates plant growth, development, and stress responses. Recent studies on early signaling events following ethylene perception in rice () have identified MAO HU ZI 3 (MHZ3) as a stabilizer of the ethylene receptors ETHYLENE RESPONSE SENSOR 2 (OsERS2) and ETHYLENE RECEPTOR 2 (OsETR2). MHZ3 ensures the interaction of these receptors with CONSTITUTIVE TRIPLE RESPONSE 2 (OsCTR2), thereby maintaining OsCTR2 activity. Ethylene treatment disrupts the interactions within the MHZ3/receptors/OsCTR2 protein complex, leading to decreased OsCTR2 phosphorylation and the initiation of downstream signaling. Recent studies have established MHZ3 as the primary regulator and switch for OsCTR2 phosphorylation. In this review, we explore the role of MHZ3 in regulating ethylene signaling and highlight its effects on plant growth, development, and stress responses at the plant holobiont level.

Background: Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is a crucial disinfectant in the food industry. It can be used to soak perishable foods like vegetables, fruits, eggs, fish, and raw meat before processing and storage, eliminating microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, and pathogens to ensure food safety. HClO also helps preserve vegetables and fruits by reducing ethylene production, delaying rotting, decreasing cell membrane permeability, inhibiting polyphenol oxidase activity, and postponing discoloration.

In cryopreservation, which is an important process for the long-term storage and transport of cells, cryopreservation solutions containing cryoprotectants are usually used to protect cells from damage. However, most cryoprotectants have non-negligible cytotoxicity and side effects that greatly limit their applications in clinical use. This has led to an increased need for more biocompatible cryoprotectants, and interest in bioinspired cryoprotectants is increasing.

The fusion kinetics of block copolymer micelles in dilute solutions have been investigated. As a model system, 1,2-polybutadiene--poly(ethylene oxide) micelles in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate have been studied. The ionic liquid is a selective solvent for poly(ethylene oxide), promoting the self-assembly of the block copolymer into spherical micelles.

Flexible polymer-based piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) have gained significant interest due to their ability to deliver clean and sustainable energy for self-powered electronics and wearable devices. Recently, the incorporation of fillers into the ferroelectric polymer matrix has been used to improve the relatively low piezoelectric properties of polymer-based PENGs. In this study, we investigated the effect of various nanofillers such as titania (TiO), zinc oxide (ZnO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and lead zirconate titanate (PZT) on the PENG performance of the nanocomposite thin films containing the nanofillers in poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoro ethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) matrix.

Nanoparticles (NPs) have generated significant interest in various fields due to the unique properties that materials exhibit at the nanoscale. This study presents a comparative analysis of copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) and cobalt nanoparticles (Co-NPs) synthesized via conventional solvothermal and green hydrothermal synthesis using ethylene glycol and extract, respectively. The conventional solvothermal synthesis showed higher efficiency for both Cu-NPs and Co-NPs with yields of 32.
