The splicing factor SPR2 interacts with the RNA-binding protein PPR8 to facilitate mitochondrial intron splicing and is essential for maize seed development

Intron splicing plays a crucial role in organellar gene expression in plants, yet its mechanism remains poorly understood. We previously reported a small PPR protein, SPR2, which is a general splicing factor in the splicing of over half of the mitochondrial introns via interactio...

Achieving Ohmic and High‐Tunneling‐Probability Contacts in 2D Semiconductors via Hydrogen‐Bond‐Mediated Interfacial Coupling

ABSTRACT Developing high‐performance electronics with two‐dimensional (2D) semiconductors is often hindered by high contact resistance at metal/semiconductor interfaces, which arises from the Schottky barrier for carrier injection and tunneling barrier for carrier transport. Conv...

Electron‐Rich Para ‐Methylpyridine‐Functionalized TEMPO Empowers Long‐Lived Neutral Aqueous Organic Redox Flow Batteries
