Peroxynitrite (ONOO) is an important reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can react with a variety of biologically active species and cause many diseases, such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders. Herein, we develop a novel far-red fluorescent probe DCM-KA, which is equipping with α-ketoamide moiety caged DCM-NH. The probe exhibits fluorescence off-on response to ONOO over other biological interfering analytes by ONOO-induced α-ketoamide deprotection reaction. More importantly, the probe is biocompatible and has been successfully utilized to visualize endogenous ONOO production in macrophage cell line J774A.1.

Photosynthetic organisms have evolved diverse strategies to adapt to fluctuating light conditions, balancing efficient light capture with photoprotection. In green algae and land plants, this involves specialized light-harvesting complexes (LHCs), non-photochemical quenching, and state transitions driven by dynamic remodeling of antenna proteins associated with Photosystems (PS) I and II. Euglena gracilis, a flagellate with a secondary green plastid, represents a distantly related lineage whose light-harvesting regulation remains poorly understood.

To investigate how far-red (FR) light affects tobacco leaf growth, we established different light conditions, namely, CK: white (WL), T1: red (R), T2: red-white (R+WL) combination, T3: white-far-red (WL+FR) combination, and T4: white-red-far-red (WL+R+FR) combination; conducted supplemental light experiments on tobacco; and evaluated the growth of tobacco leaves by determining the biomass, size of the leaves, etc. In addition, the auxin (IAA) content and expression of leaf growth-related genes were examined to further reveal the mechanism of the FR regulation of tobacco leaf growth. The results show a maximum reduction in leaf area size of more than 90% and in fresh dry mass of more than 85%, while the chlorophyll content increased by more than 28%.

Unlabelled: Red light activates phytochrome photoreceptors, which mediate such key developmental steps as germination and seedling photomorphogenesis in . To examine the details of these responses, we developed a novel experimental system and demonstrated that brief, high-intensity light pulses can elicit sustained physiological responses. We observed that the seeds responded to the femtosecond laser light pulses, but with lower sensitivity compared with continuous light sources having the same average fluence.

It is important to breed salt-tolerant and early ripening wheat cultivars. Using preliminary transcriptomic data, a phospholipase A gene, , was screened from salt-tolerant "Y1805". The expression level in roots was significantly higher than those in stems and leaves under salt stress.

Synaptic function is governed by highly regulated protein machineries, whose abundance and spatial localization change continually. Studies to determine dynamic changes in synaptic protein nanoarchitecture typically rely on immunolabeling or on the expression of fluorescent proteins. The former employs chemical fluorophores and signal amplification but requires fixation.
