Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, endogenous RNAs that play important regulatory roles in development and stress response plants by negatively affecting gene expression post-transcriptionally. Identification of miRNAs at the global genome-level high-throughout sequencing is essential to functionally characterize plants. Drought one common environmental stresses limiting plant growth development. To understand role drought stress, drought-responsive were identified...
Abstract Loss of plant diversity with increased anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition in grasslands has occurred globally. In most cases, competitive exclusion driven by preemption light or space is invoked as a key mechanism. Here, we provide evidence from 9‐yr N‐addition experiment for an alternative mechanism: differential sensitivity forbs and grasses to soil manganese (Mn) levels. Inner Mongolia steppes, increasing the N supply shifted community composition grass–forb codominance...
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play crucially regulatory roles in diverse biological processes involving complex mechanisms. However, information regarding the number, sequences, characteristics and potential functions of lncRNAs plants is so far overly limited.Using high-throughput sequencing bioinformatics analysis, we identified a total 23,324 putative from control, osmotic stress- salt stress-treated leaf root samples Medicago truncatula, model legume species. Out...
Abstract Conjugated polymers (CPs) with low crystallinity are promising candidates for application in organic thermoelectrics (OTEs), particularly flexible devices, because the disordered structures of these CPs can effectively accommodate dopants and ensure robust resistance to bending. However, n‐doped usually exhibit poor thermoelectric performance, which hinders development high‐performance generators. Herein, we report an n‐type CP (ThDPP‐CNBTz) comprising two acceptor units: a...
To evaluate the role of ethylene in cold acclimation and stress, freezing tolerance characteristics associated with were investigated using legume model plant Medicago truncatula Gaertn Jemalong A17. There was a rapid suppression production during A17 plants. Ethylene level negatively correlated as inhibition biosynthesis by inhibitors enhanced tolerance, while exogenous application reduced acclimation-induced tolerance. The involvement signaling modulation further studied...
Emerging evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of many biological processes. Inhibition plant growth due to deficiency soil inorganic phosphate (Pi) occurs widely across natural and agricultural ecosystems; however, we know little about function lncRNAs response Pi deficiency. To address this issue, first identified 10 785 legume model species Medicago truncatula by sequencing eight strand-specific libraries. Out these lncRNAs, 358 224...
The development of high-performance yet cost-effective catalysts for electrochemical synthesis H2O2 is a great challenge. Here, the amorphous nickel oxide NiOx supported on carbon nanosheets was prepared by photochemical metal organic deposition method. evolution crystalline structure, microstructure, and 2-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e-ORR) activity in 0.1 M KOH systematically investigated. results reveal that highly efficient selective toward 2e-ORR with an onset potential 0.76 V...
Medicago ruthenica, a wild and perennial legume forage widely distributed in semi-arid grasslands, is distinguished by its outstanding tolerance to environmental stress. It close relative of commonly cultivated alfalfa (Medicago sativa). The high M. ruthenica stress makes this species valuable genetic resource for understanding improving traits associated with harsh environments.We sequenced assembled genome using an integrated approach, including PacBio, Illumina, 10×Genomics, Hi-C. was...
Abstract Open‐shell conjugated polymers with a high intrinsic conductivity and high‐spin ground state hold considerable promise for applications in organic electronics spintronics. Herein, two novel acceptor‐acceptor (A–A) based on highly electron‐deficient quinoidal benzodifurandione unit have been developed, namely DPP‐BFDO‐Th DPP‐BFDO. The incorporation of the moiety into backbones enables deeply aligned lower‐lying lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) levels below −4.0 eV. Notably,...
Abstract The presence of shrubs improves ecosystem multifunctionality within their patches, an effect termed the ‘multifunctional island’ effect. However, mechanisms underlying and response to grazing are unclear. This study investigated how regulates these effects through a field experiment conducted on three paired grazed ungrazed sites shrub‐encroached grasslands in Inner Mongolia, China. analysis included 14 functional variables related plant productivity soil carbon, nitrogen phosphorus...
Effector proteins present in aphid saliva are thought to modulate aphid-plant interactions. Armet, an effector protein, is found the phloem sap of pea-aphid-infested plants and indispensable for survival aphids on plants. However, its function has not been investigated. Here, we explored functions Armet after delivery into Examination transcriptomes Nicotiana benthamiana Medicago truncatula following transgenic expression or infiltration protein showed that activated pathways associated with...
Abstract Electrocatalytic water splitting is limited by kinetics-sluggish oxygen evolution, in which the activity of catalysts depends on their electronic structure. However, influence electron spin polarization catalytic ambiguous. Herein, we successfully regulate Co 3 O 4 tuning concentration cobalt defects from 0.8 to 14.5%. X-ray absorption spectroscopy spectra and density functional theory calculations confirm that positively correlated with defects. Importantly, enhanced can increase...
Comprehensive Summary The investigation of n‐type doping holds a significant interest for the application thermoelectrics. Herein, an indandione‐terminated compound Q‐4F with singlet open‐shell ground state was studied using two n‐dopants N‐DMBI and LCV. Both these dopants can effectively dope due to large offset between singly occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) lowest unoccupied (LUMO) Q‐4F. has higher ability than LCV as demonstrated by UV‐ vis ‐NIR EPR measurements. However, in comparison...
Abstract Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of plant responses to environmental stress by acting as essential regulators gene expression. However, whether and how lncRNAs are involved cold acclimation-dependent freezing tolerance plants remains largely unknown. Medicago truncatula is a prominent model for studies legume genomics, distinguished its cold-acclimation characteristics. To determine response, we conducted genome-wide high-throughput...
