Article Abstract

Glutathione S-transferase (GST, EC 2.5.1.18) is essential for resistance of plants to stress. This study focused on the GST family in Salix brachista to explore the mechanisms behind the high light resistance of plateau plants. 74 GST genes were identified, with the duplicate gene pair SbrGSTF10/11 sharing identical protein sequences and being homologous to AtTT19. This gene pair is unique to S. brachista among known land Salix species. Notably, the expression of SbrGSTF10/11 increased more than eightfold under high light stress respectively and restored anthocyanin levels in Arabidopsis tt19 mutant seedlings. SbrGSTF10/11 exhibited diminished enzymatic activity in vitro, indicating its primary function in anthocyanin transport rather than detoxification. Binding assays confirmed an interaction between cyanidin-3,5-O-diglucoside and SbrGSTF10/11. Functional clustering, surface plasmon resonance and dual-luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that SbrMYB1 enhances the expression of SbrGSTF10/11 by acting as a transcription factor. In conclusion, the duplicated SbrGSTF10/11 gene dosage in S. brachista aids in adapting to light stress during evolution.

Formamidinium lead iodide perovskite compositions have a low open circuit voltage deficit and thus a higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) potential. However, their low bandgap makes it difficult to achieve a semitransparent perovskite solar cell (ST-PSC) with a high average visible transmittance (AVT) and thus, a high light utilization efficiency (LUE). Attaining a high AVT in such low bandgap perovskite‑based semitransparent solar cells requires the perovskite layer to be very thin (thickness < ≈100 nm) and the rear electrode to be made of a transparent conductive oxide.

A visible-light-induced cascade annulation of -cyanamide alkenes with unsaturated α-halogenocarbonyls for the facile synthesis of piperidino-quinazolinone derivatives has been developed. This transformation simultaneously constructs three C-C bonds, one C-N bond, and three cyclic structures through a cascade process involving alkyl radical addition to alkene followed by three radical annulations. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions and demonstrates a high bond-forming efficiency.

Vision is one of the most important means by which animals perceive their environment. In the pelagic ocean, there is an enormous gradient of available light from the well-lit surface to the deep bathypelagic zone. Fish inhabiting different depths of the pelagic ocean must adapt to these conditions.

Ampere-level electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia (eNRA) offers a carbon-neutral alternative to the Haber-Bosch process. However, its energy efficiency is critically hampered by the inherent conflict between the reaction and diffusion. Herein, we propose a reaction-diffusion-coupled strategy implemented on a well-tailored CuCoNiRuPt high-entropy alloy aerogel (HEAA) to simultaneously realize energy barrier homogenization and accelerate mass transport, endowing ampere-level eNRA with a high energy efficiency.
