Most crops cannot germinate underwater. Rice exhibits certain degrees of tolerance to oxygen deficiency for anaerobic germination (AG) and anaerobic seedling development (ASD). Direct rice seeding, whereby seeds are sown into soil rather than transplanting seedlings from the nursery, becomes an increasingly popular cultivation method due to labor shortages and opportunities for sustainable cultivation. Flooding is common under direct seeding, but most rice varieties have poor capability of AG/ASD, which is a major obstacle to broad adoption of direct seeding. A better understanding of the physiological basis and molecular mechanisms regulating AG/ASD should facilitate rice breeding for enhanced seedling vigor under flooding. This review highlights recent advances on molecular and physiological mechanisms and future breeding strategies of rice AG/ASD.

Anisotropic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) exhibit unique physicochemical properties that render them highly valuable for diverse applications. However, precise control over their growth direction and number of branches is challenging with conventional synthesis methods. A DNA origami-templated enzymatic synthesis strategy addresses this limitation.

Epidemiological studies in humans have suggested that tomato consumption and the compositional ratios of Prevotella, Megamonas, and Streptococcus in the intestinal microbiota are related to intestinal permeability. In this study, we investigated the causal relationship using Caenorhabditis (C.) elegans.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common form of dementia, remains a leading neurodegenerative disorder that necessitates the development of diagnostic markers. While current cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and positron emission tomography (PET) biomarkers facilitate diagnostic accuracy, their invasive and pricey nature limits widespread application. Blood-based biomarkers, such as plasma Aβ42/40 and phosphorylated tau isoforms, are emerging as accessible alternatives.

Citrullus lanatus (watermelon) is a fruit with remarkable therapeutic potential, as each part of itrind, peel, flesh, and seeds contain bioactive compounds. Despite its wide range of benefits, the utilization of watermelon, particularly its rind, remains limited due to a lack of awareness and an underrated perspective. The rind, situated between the green outer peel and the red flesh, is light green in color and rich in bioactive compounds, minerals, and phytochemicals.

Partial denitrification coupled with anammox (PD/A) has emerged as a promising low-carbon strategy for energy-efficient nitrogen removal from municipal wastewater. However, the reactivation of PD/A systems following operational disturbances remains challenging, particularly under continuous-flow conditions, where microbial interactions and process stability are more complex than in sequencing batch reactors. This study systematically and first evaluated the recovery dynamics of a continuous-flow PD/A process seeded with low-activity granular sludge stored at 4 °C for three months.
