Background: Rice, a staple food for over half of the global population, exhibits significant diversity in grain shape characteristics, which impact not only appearance and milling quality but also grain weight and yield. Identifying genes and loci underlying these traits is crucial for improving rice breeding programs. Previous studies have identified multiple quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and genes regulating grain length, width, and length-width ratio; however, further investigation is necessary to elucidate their regulatory pathways and their practical application in crop improvement.

UV-induced photoluminescence of organosilica films with ethylene and benzene bridging groups in their matrix and terminal methyl groups on the pore wall surface was studied to reveal optically active defects and understand their origin and nature. The careful selection of the film's precursors and conditions of deposition and curing and analysis of chemical and structural properties led to the conclusion that luminescence sources are not associated with the presence of oxygen-deficient centers, as in the case of pure SiO. It is shown that the sources of luminescence are the carbon-containing components that are part of the low-k-matrix, as well as the carbon residues formed upon removal of the template and UV-induced destruction of organosilica samples.

Background: The major intrinsic cause of facial skin degeneration is age, associated with extrinsic factors such as exposure to sun. Its major pathologic causes are degeneration of the elastin matrix, with loss of oxytalan and elaunin fibers in the subepidermal region, and actinic degeneration of elastin fibers that lose their functional properties in the deep dermis. Therapy using autologous adipose mesenchymal stem cells for regeneration of extracellular matrix in patients with solar elastosis was addressed in qualitative and quantitative analyses of the dermal elastic fiber system and the associated cells.

Oil palm production is gaining importance in Central and South America. However, the main species (Eg) is suffering severely from bud rod disease, restricting the potential cultivation areas. Therefore, breeding companies have started to work with interspecific × Eg (Eo × Eg) hybrids which are tolerant to this disease.
