Article Abstract

Rice OsSPL11 activates the expression of GW5L through binding to its promoter and positively regulates grain size. Grain size (GS) is an important determinant of grain weight and yield potential in cereal. Here, we report the functional analysis of OsSPL11 in grain length (GL), grain width (GW), and 1000-grain weight (TGW). OsSPL11 mutant plants, osspl11 lines, exhibited a decrease in GL, GW, and TGW, and OsSPL11-OE lines showed an increase in GL and TGW. Expression analysis revealed that OsSPL11 was located in the nucleus and highly expressed in spikelet hull and young development grains, consistent with its function in determining GS. Further analysis confirmed that OsSPL11 directly activates the expression of GW5L to regulate GS, meanwhile OsSPL11 expression is negatively regulated by OsGBP3. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that OsSPL11 could be a key regulator of affecting GS during the spikelet hull development and facilitate the process of improving grain yield by GS modification in rice.

Metal halide perovskites have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional photoelectric properties. The alkali metal doping strategy has been demonstrated to effectively modulate grain size, control crystallization kinetics, and adjust band gap characteristics in perovskite. This study employs the first-principles calculations to reveal that the selection of alkali metal species and their corresponding doping methodologies exert markedly distinct influences on both the electronic properties and ion migration kinetics of CsPbBr perovskites.

Nanostructured cubic boron nitride (NS-cBN) has attracted significant attention due to its high hardness and excellent thermal stability, yet a systematic strategy to balance strength and toughness through atomically structural design remains elusive. Here, we integrate plasticity theory with large-scale atomistic simulations to elucidate the size-dependent roles of internal defects, i.e.

Purpose: The number of oxygen vacancies in quartz measured by electron spin resonance (ESR) as the intensity of the E' center has been used to investigate the provenance of the sediments and has been found to be a good proxy in discussing the direction and intensity of the wind system in the past. While its temporal variations have been examined using marine sediments. The present study aimed to show that terrestrial sediments are also useful for such studies on climate change when it is continuous.

Sequential deposition technique is widely used to fabricate perovskite films with large grain size in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Residual lead halide (PbI) in the perovskite film tends to be decomposed into metallic lead (Pb) under long-term heating or light soaking. Here, a chiral levetiracetam (LEV) dopant containing α-amide and pyrrolidone groups is introduced into the PbI precursor solution.
