Manipulation of Molecular Motion in Donor‐Acceptor Organic‐Small‐Molecule towards Efficient Solar‐Thermal Conversion and Electroluminescence Performance

ABSTRACT Radiative decay invariably competes with nonradiative decay during the deexcitation process of materials, organic small molecules with highly efficient solar‐thermal and electroluminescence properties simultaneously remain a great challenge. Herein, we propose a novel st...

Unveiling the role of BrREM1.4: a key regulator in plant growth and abiotic stress adaptation in turnip (Brassica rapa)

Remorins (REMs) are plant-specific proteins known for their diverse biological functions. However, their roles in plant growth, development, and responses to abiotic stress remain largely unexplored. In this study, we investigated the function of BrREM1.4 (PQ810929), a protein is...

Complete biosynthesis of the clinical agent escin Ia

Abstract Escin Ia is a barrigenol-type triterpenoid specific to Aesculus seeds and is widely utilized in clinical practice for the treatment of cerebral edema, swelling, and venous insufficiency. Here, we fully elucidated its biosynthetic pathway by identifying ten previously unc...

Microbacterium sp. Y107 Is Associated with Enhanced Lingonberry Root Growth and Transcriptional Changes Under Gnotobiotic Conditions

Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) has a weak root system and limited nutrient acquisition capacity. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can promote plant growth by regulating rhizosphere nutrient cycling and host metabolism, but the underlying mechanisms in Ericaceae...

Mechanical Performance of Corrugated Steel−Concrete Composite Structures: An Experimental Study on Arch Bridges

Abstract Corrugated steel arch bridges have been extensively employed in transportation infrastructure owing to their favorable mechanical performance and construction effi Corrugated steel arch bridges are widely used in transportation infrastructure but suffer from stress conce...

Titanium-catalyzedCross-coupling of Aryl BoronateDerivatives and Aryl Halides en Route to Biaryl Backbones

Abstract Developing sustainable and low-toxicity catalytic systems for carbon–carbon cross-coupling reactions remains highly desirable in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we report a titanium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of aryl halides with arylboronic acid derivatives. T...

Supply Chain Resilience and Total Factor Productivity: Evidence from Listed Manufacturing Firms

Background: Manufacturing productivity increasingly depends on reliable interorganizational flows, yet supply chain disruptions can interrupt materials, information, finance, and efficient use of productive inputs. Although supply chain resilience is widely treated as a continuit...

BifunctionalIonophores for Cuproptosis Activation:Dual Targeting of Copper and Fe–S Protein Homeostasis

Abstract Cellular resilience to therapy often arises from adaptive mechanisms that safeguard iron–sulfur (Fe–S) proteins. Here, we present a rational strategy to overcome such resilience by integrating two synergistic vulnerabilities, copper toxicity and Fe–S cluster homeostasis,...

Timber Legality and Traceability in Myanmar’s Forest Supply Chains: Institutional Development and Implications for Verification, Market Access, and Trade

Myanmar has developed a range of legality assurance and traceability mechanisms to support legal timber production and respond to evolving international market requirements. This study examines the institutional development of timber legality assurance and traceability in Myanmar...

NEOGRAN: traceable graph-text fusion for disease–protein relation prediction in biomedical knowledge graphs

Abstract Background Accurately predicting disease–protein relations in biomedical knowledge graphs helps link disease phenotypes to molecular mechanisms and supports disease-related knowledge discovery and candidate target identification. Biomedical knowledge graphs organize mult...

Maleic Anhydride-Modified Lignin Reinforced Multi-Crosslinked Composite Coating for High Wet Strength and Recyclable Paper

Abstract Plant fiber-based paper is renewable and biodegradable but suffers from poor water resistance and weak wet mechanical properties. To overcome these challenges, a CPML-Fe coating system was developed, which comprises a composite coating made from carboxymethyl cellulose (...

Molecular Basis of Behaviorally Active Terpenoid Volatile Recognition by Odorant-Binding Proteins in Tomicus pilifer

Tomicus pilifer is an important wood-boring forest pest in China, and its host localization and intraspecific communication rely on the perception of volatile chemical cues. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying odor recognition in this species remain largely unknown. In t...

Distribution, major threats, and management methods of maple tree species in temperate forests: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Despite its contribution to multiple ecosystem goods and services, maple tree species distribution, survival, and growth are declining due to multiple interconnected threats. Therefore, inclusive understanding of distributions, threats, and silvicultural management is essential f...

First Report of Nothophoma spiraeae Causing Fruit Rot on Prunus armeniaca in China

Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) is an important fruit crop produced worldwide and is widely cultivated in China (Guo et al. 2010). In July 2025, a severe fruit rot disease was observed on apricot trees in an orchard located in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province (126.68°E, 45.72°N). Base...
