The GRF‒GIF duo and AINTEGUMENTA act cooperatively for the meristematic competence of lateral organs in Arabidopsis.

Above-ground lateral organs, such as leaves and flowers, should grow to an optimal size and develop particular structures, which are primarily laid out on the meristematic activities of their primordia. The GROWTH-REGULATING FACTOR‒GRF-INTERACTING FACTOR (GRF‒GIF) transcriptional complex and the AINTEGUMENTA (ANT) transcription factor play key roles in the establishment of the meristematic competence of lateral organ primordia with highly overlapping expression patterns, and thus functional relationships between them have long been speculated. In this study, we constructed the ant gif1 gif2 gif3 quadruple mutant, which produced much smaller and narrower leaves, sepals, and petals with far fewer cells compared with its parental lines.

Strategic Way of Synthesizing Heteroatom-Doped Carbon Nano-onions Using Waste Chicken Fat Oil for Energy Storage Devices.

An easy way of synthesizing low-cost carbon nanomaterials without the need for high-temperature processing approach is critical for energy storage applications because the demand has increased for affordable, long-term, and environmentally friendly synthesized carbon-based materials.

Sharp-edged pencil type ZnO flowers and BiOI flakes combined with carbon nanofibers as heterostructured hybrid photocatalysts for the removal of hazardous pollutants from contaminated water.

The growth of advanced micro-and nanostructures with metal oxides has consistently generated extraordinary interest in energy and environmental applications. Cutting-edge nanostructures exhibit superior reactive sites and surface areas, thus improving the performance in crucial domains. In this study, sharp-edged pencil-type ZnO flowers and BiOI flakes as pristine materials, and their composition with carbon nanofibers (CNFs) (ZnO-BiOI@CNFs) as a hetero hybrid catalyst as well as binary compositions such as ZnO-BiOI, ZnO@CNFs, and BiOI@CNFs catalysts were fabricated using a simple and convenient hydrothermal synthesis process.

A case of extremely early cervical adenocarcinoma diagnosed only by endocervical curettage with macroscopic pelvic lymph node metastases.

Microinvasive adenocarcinoma is not as well studied as microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma because diagnosis of adenocarcinoma cannot be ascertained for early invasive lesions. However, most clinicians consider a depth of invasion of 3 mm without lympho-vascular space invasion as the maximum limit for conservative management. Microinvasive cervical adenocarcinoma is characterized by a rare incidence of lymph node metastasis and very good prognosis.

Effects of post-annealing on structural and optical properties of a-axis oriented ZnO nanorods.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods with a-axis orientation were grown on a Si(100) substrate by a hydrothermal method, following which a post-annealing process was carried out at various temperatures ranging from 500 to 900 degrees C in vacuum.
