  • Genetic basis of the drought tolerance of upland rice is unclear. Here, the authors report the cloning of a COBRA-like protein encoding gene DROT1 and reveal that it is repressed by ERF3 and activated by ERF71 to help control the balance between growth and drought tolerance in upland rice.

  • Brassica oleracea is plant species comprising economically important vegetable crops. Here, the authors report the draft genome sequence of B. oleracea and, through a comparative analysis with the closely related B. rapa, reveal insights into Brassicaevolution and divergence of interspecific genomes and intraspecific subgenomes.

  • Nanoparticle-mediated photoporation is used to temporarily permeabilize cell membranes for intracellular delivery of macromolecules, but cell exposure to nanoparticles might cause cellular damage and hamper application of the technique to therapeutic cell engineering. Here the authors show that, under photothermal heating, nanofibre-embedded iron oxide nanoparticles can be used to deliver effector macromolecules to different types of cells, in a contactless manner, with no cellular toxicity or diminished therapeutic potency.

  • Electroreduction of pressurized CO2 to chemicals has great potential but remains underexplored. Here, the authors show that increased CO2 coverage under high pressures alters product selectivity. Guided by the results, a proton-resistant Cu/polypyrrole electrode is designed for enhanced CO2 conversion.

  • Ballistic delivery with micro/nano-particles has been successfully used to transfect plant cells, however, has failed in mammalian cells due to toxic effects. Here, the authors report on a self-assembled nano-ballistic delivery system for the delivery of functional macromolecules and demonstrate efficient transfection of mammalian cells.

  • The Brassica rapa Genome Sequencing Project Consortium reports the draft genome of the B. rapa accession Chiifu-401-42, an inbred Chinese cabbage line. The B. rapa genome should provide a useful reference genome for the Brassica species, which include many important oil and vegetable crops.

  • Apelin expression is robust in embryonic but not in adult endothelial cells (ECs), where it can be reactivated by hypoxia. Liu et al. show that apelin-driven expression of Cre recombinase in mice can be used for labelling of, or gene ablation in, sprouting but not quiescent ECs in pathologies characterized by hypoxia.
