Significance Occurrence of mature green seeds in oil-seed crops such as canola and soybean causes severe losses revenue. Retention chlorophyll can be an undesirable trait it affects seed maturation, oil, meal quality. We show that the abscisic acid (ABA, plant hormone) dependent transcription factor ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE 3 (ABI3), confers degreening by regulating Mendel’s stay-green genes. This study unveils a new role for ABI3 removal addition to its functions embryo maturation...
Abstract The problem of phase retrieval underlies various imaging methods from astronomy to nanoscale imaging. Traditional are iterative and therefore computationally expensive. Deep learning (DL) models have been developed either provide learned priors or completely replace retrieval. However, such require vast amounts labeled data, which can only be obtained through simulation performing prohibitive on experimental datasets. Using 3D X-ray Bragg coherent diffraction (BCDI) as a...
When plants encounter nutrient-limiting conditions in the soil, root architecture is redesigned to generate numerous lateral roots (LRs) that increase surface area of roots, promoting efficient uptake these deficient nutrients. Of many essential nutrients, reduced availability inorganic phosphate has a major impact on plant growth because requirement for synthesis organic molecules, such as nucleic acids, ATP, and phospholipids, function various crucial metabolic activities. In our screens...

Abstract Pollen grains of plant species have unique morphological characteristics. The variability in shape, size, and microscopic pollen surface features can be efficiently used to determine the which they belong. This approach instrumental regions with rich biodiversity species, specifically medicinal plant. creation a dataset for these using SEM images computer vision application beneficial their identification. We developed robust utilizing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) generate...
Zeolites are crystalline, microporous silicates widely used in catalysis and separations, yet the molecular mechanisms of their formation remain unresolved. Experiments indicate that hydrothermal synthesis zeolites from solution proceeds through amorphous nanoaggregates gradually evolve ordering solubility to zeolite, suggesting a continuous crystal transformation. Here, we combine simulations, advanced algorithms identify zeolite order, computer vision elucidate pathway nanocrystal. We show...
Plants respond to limited soil nutrient availability by inducing more lateral roots (LR) increase the root surface area. At cellular level, starvation triggers process of autophagy through which bulk degradation materials is achieved facilitate mobilization. Whether there any link between and induction LR had remained unknown. We recently showed that S-Domain receptor Kinase (ARK2) U Box/Armadillo Repeat-Containing E3 ligase (PUB9) module required for formation under phosphate in Arabidopsis...
Successful fertilization in flowering plants depends on the precise directional growth control of pollen tube through female pistil tissue toward gametophyte contained ovule for delivery nonmotile sperm cells. Cys-rich peptides LUREs secreted from synergid cells either side egg cell act as ovular attractants tubes. Competency by is crucial response tubes to these attractants. We recently reported that 4-O-methyl-glucuronosyl arabinogalactan (AMOR) induces competency respond attractant LURE...
Crystalline seeds are widely employed in crystallization to accelerate nucleation and control product polymorphs, yet their impact on mechanisms remains poorly understood. While homogeneous of crystals from solution often proceeds through non-classical pathways involving amorphous intermediates, it is unclear how that promote heterogeneous reshape these govern polymorph selection. Here, we provide the first direct evidence crystalline can bypass converting into classical, monomer-by-monomer...
Highly specialized stigma papillae cells play a critical role in plant reproduction. Their main purpose is to catch and interact with pollen, mediate compatibility responses, regulate pollen germination, guide tubes the transmitting tract so that sperm carried can be delivered female gametophyte achieve double fertilization. In Arabidopsis thaliana , consists of single-celled emerge from apex fused carpels. Despite their function reproduction, molecular mechanisms govern growth maturation...

Abstract Nanoparticles are of major interest nowadays due to their distinctive properties. In this study, we present a microwave-assisted green synthesis carbon nanoparticles from the Catharanthus roseus petals. The exhibited fluorescence emission in 300 400 nm wavelength region and emitted characteristic blue fluorescence. extensive characterization using Bio-AFM showed that size was 25.38 nm. M-XRD Zeta potential analysis confirmed were amorphous negative surface charge. functional groups...
