Article Abstract
The acoustic Lichtenberg figure (ALF) in an ultrasonic cleaner with a frequency of 28 kHz at different power levels was observed using high-speed photography. The nonlinear response of the cavitation structure was analyzed by the entropy spectrum in the ALF images, which showed the modulation influence of the primary acoustic field, exhibiting the fluctuations of the bubble distribution with time. Typical Y-branches predict the paths by which surrounding bubbles are attracted and converge into the structure, the branches are curved due to bubble-bubble interactions, and the curvature increases as the bubbles are approaching the main chain. The average travelling speed of bubbles along the branches is about 1.1 m/s, almost independent of power level of the ultrasonic cleaner. A theoretical model consisting of free bubbles and a straight bubble chain of finite length was developed to explore the evolutionary mechanism of branching. It was found that the bubble trajectories showed a bending tendency similar to the experimentally observed Y-branches, and the stationary straight bubble chain parallel to the main chain could evolve into a curved chain and eventually become a branch of the main chain. The theoretical predictions agree well with the experimental results, verifying the evolutionary mechanism of Y-branches in ALF.

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.

Fatty acid synthase (FAS) is one of the most important enzymes in lipid biosynthesis, which can catalyze the reaction of acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA to produce fatty acids. However, the structure, function, and molecular mechanism of FAS regulating lipid synthesis in the fungus Mucor circinelloides are unclear. In the present study, two encoding fas genes in the high lipid-producing strain WJ11 and low lipid-producing strain CBS277.

Plants have developed sophisticated signaling mechanisms to adapt to environmental changes, and secreted peptides play crucial roles. Sulfated tyrosine (sTyr) peptides are important regulators of plant growth, nutrient uptake, defense responses, and seed development. This study delves into the evolution of sTyr peptides, their receptors, and the enzyme tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase (TPST) that is responsible for their activation.

The olfactory system of insects plays a vital role in their survival by enabling them to detect chemical cues and adapt to changing environments. The rape stem weevil, Ceutorhynchus asper, is a significant pest posing a challenge for rapeseed production due to its destructive feeding habit and increasing resistance to insecticides. So far, there's still limited knowledge about structure and function of odorant binding proteins (OBPs) in beetles like C.

The arms race between insect-resistant secondary metabolites in plants and the detoxification genes of their natural enemies reveals the intricate co-evolutionary dynamics between the Asian corn borer (Ostrinia furnacalis) and its host plant, maize, and provides a new perspective for the potential control of pests. In this study, ELISA and transcriptome revealed that the glutathione S-transferases were involved in the detoxification of O. furnacalis to maize secondary metabolite 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-(2H)-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (DIMBOA).
